Quick facts
Description
Pinkeye, also known as infectious keratoconjunctivitis, presents a significant economic burden on livestock operations, especially in cattle. The condition, which affects the eye, can cause severe discomfort and impaired vision in affected animals. If left untreated, Pinkeye can lead to permanent blindness, severely affecting an animal’s productivity and welfare.
The primary factors contributing to Pinkeye include environmental irritants such as dust, direct sunlight, and the presence of flies. Dust and flies often cause irritation, while sunlight can exacerbate the symptoms, increasing the risk of the disease spreading within a herd.
One of the most effective treatments for Pinkeye is the use of a Pinkeye Patch Kit. When applied after using a suitable eye ointment, the patch not only covers the eye to shield it from further irritation but also aids in the healing process. The Pinkeye patch helps to reduce the severity of the disease and prevent further complications, such as secondary infections and permanent vision loss.
Key benefits of the Pinkeye Patch Kit include:
- Prevention of Spread: By shielding the affected eye, the patch helps to minimize the spread of the disease to other animals in the herd.
- Promotes Healing: The patch aids in the healing process by protecting the eye from environmental irritants.
- Efficient Treatment: This treatment requires only one round of yarding, making it a more efficient and less stressful option for livestock farmers.
