Green Cap Liquid Mineral

A calmer animal performs better

Green Cap can calm livestock and help lower stress. Used with cows, sheep, horses and goats, it aims to help livestock cope better during weaning, introduction and exit from feedlots, and when in the unfamiliar surrounds of yarding and transportation.

Beachport Dispenser

Water medication made easy

The stainless-steel Beachport Dispenser is extremely robust and specially designed to allow the fine sieved Beachport Liquid Minerals to meter out over 48-72 hours, allowing all animals on the water point to have access to the product. It simply screws onto a 5L, 10L or 20L drum.

The dispenser works on air and water pressure, so water replaces the product in the drum over the dosing period. Allow the drum to move freely in the trough, as movement is part of the distribution of the product.

HOW TO USE

The best method of application for our liquid supplements is via the water supply using the stainless-steel Beachport Dispenser, which simply screws onto an empty five, 10 or 20L drum. Empty drums are available to buy if required (if using your own drums ensure they have not previously contained poisons).

Drums must not be completely filled. There needs to be enough space left in the drum for air pressure to build and make the dispenser work. At least half of the drum needs to be filled to ensure effective flow rates.

The dispenser has an inlet and outlet that are constantly under water in the trough, trapping the air inside and maintaining constant air pressure. For every millilitre of product that is released through the outlet, approx. a millilitre of water is sucked back in. For example, if you put 15L of Beachport in a 20L drum, three days later this will have been replaced by 15L of water.

NOTE: DO NOT screw Beachport Dispenser directly onto a full drum of product. Allow the drum to move freely in the trough, as movement is part of the distribution of product. You can also add extra water in the drum if using low volumes of Beachport product. This will help to avoid too much air pressure in warmer weather, as it can force low volumes to dispense faster.

IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances can Beachport Liquid Minerals be mixed with other products in the water supply. This includes Urea.

DOSE STEPS:

• The Beachport Dispenser screws onto a 20L, 10L or 5L drum.
• Fill the clean, empty drum with Beachport Liquid Minerals livestock supplement (according to dose rates on the label of the product). If only a small amount of product is required, you can add extra water for weight to ensure the drum stays in the trough.
• Screw the Beachport Dispenser tightly onto the drum.
• Where possible, empty trough to ensure clean cool water.
• Drop the drum with dispenser into the trough. It will automatically right itself into the correct position. The stainless-steel Beachport Dispenser will be under water.
• Let the drum move freely around the trough – the stock will not be able to knock it out.
• Leave the drum dispensing in the trough for at least three days. Return and empty the remaining water mix in the drum into the trough. Job’s done!
• In six weeks, repeat the process!
