Faced with rapidly changing climatic conditions and the appearance of flying pests at an increasingly early age, sheep farmers are looking for effective, easy-to-use and sustainable solutions. MG2MIX responds to these challenges with the MG’COLLAR: the flying insect repellent collar and FOOTMIX, the nutritional solution dedicated to the health and resistance of hooves. Together, these two innovations form a comprehensive approach to protect animals, reduce interventions, improve farm performance and limit the introduction of all pathogens carried by flying insects.
Developed to anticipate the arrival of flying insects, MG’COLLAR provides continuous and long-lasting protection against flies, midges and other flying insects responsible for diseases that can be vector-born. And the results on the ground are clear.
Significant reduction in attack areas
Insects often target sensitive areas such as the feet, ears, vulva or skin folds. By acting on the entire fleece, MG’COLLAR greatly reduces these aggressions, thus limiting injuries, pain and health complications.
Fewer injuries and less stress
The development of myiasis is very rapid. Without protection, they lead to inflammation, pain, fertility problems, manual extraction of larvae and isolation of animals. MG’COLLAR helps to prevent these heavy, time-consuming and psychological situations for the farmer.
Precious time savings for the farmer
Fewer repeated inspections, less curative care, less handling: the feedback from farmers confirms a clear reduction in the workload and better peace of mind on a daily basis.
Quick and easy implementation
The collar is designed to be easily adjusted and held in place in all conditions. Trials conducted in France and Spain show confirmed efficacy.
To complement the action of the collar, FOOTMIX provides an innovative nutritional solution aimed at strengthening the quality and hardness of the hooves. Available in granules or powder, it can be integrated directly into animal feed.
The benefits observed on the ground are clear:
Less lameness
A better condition of the hooves helps to reduce locomotor pathologies, sources of loss of performance and reduced well-being.
Stronger, more durable hooves
Supplementation supports the growth, hardness, and integrity of the horn.
Fewer entry points for infections
Better quality hooves limit the risk of lesions and therefore the development of pathogens brought by flying insects.
An ideal complement to the MG’COLLAR
By improving the resistance of the feet, FOOTMIX reinforces the benefits obtained with MG’COLLAR, which already reduces insect attacks on sensitive areas.
MG’COLLAR and FOOTMIX are part of a global, pragmatic and field-based strategy, focused on:
With MG’COLLAR and FOOTMIX, MG2MIX offers a unique combination, combining external protection and internal reinforcement, to meet the current health challenges of sheep farming.
Two solutions designed to anticipate, protect and facilitate the daily management of herds.
