NoBACZ Navel

Navel protection re-imagined to provide traditional cleansing with a lasting environmental barrier.

NoBACZ’s patented skin seal technology sets rapidly on contact with navels and ear tags to provide lasting protection from environmental pathogens.

It’s antibiotic free – it consists of feed grade materials;  a combination of a natural polymer combined with metal ions in a surgical spirit base.

Use instead of your traditional navel treatment, can be applied by dipping or spraying.

A purpose-built solution for navel dipping
Newborn livestock are very susceptible to disease and one of the main routes of infection is the 
umbilical cord. When calves and lambs are born, the umbilicus is essentially an open wound, not only 
does this allow infection of this area but it also permits bacteria to track up into the new born animal 
resulting in infections of internal organs and the joints. Navel infections are a significant cause of 
economic loss on farm1, due to nursing and treating affected stock, reduced growth rates and mortality 
of animals due to severe disease or euthanasia due to incurable joint ill. Whilst theses problems are 
multi-factorial, navel treatment after birth has been recommended and used for decades to cleanse the 
navel and therefore help protect newborn lambs and calves from bacterial ingress.
 NoBACZ Navel is being rigorously trialled so farmers can trust it offers durable and proven 
protection for the navel whilst it dries and heals.
 Expertly designed
 Developed specifically for navel and ear tag use on calves and lambs in conjunction with leading small 
ruminant veterinarian Fiona Lovatt BVSc PhD DSHP FHEA DipECSRHM FRCVS (Flock Health Ltd)

Lasting protection
NoBACZ Navel is a unique, patented solution that 
rapidly disinfects and dries the navel, and contains a 
natural coloured resin that forms a lasting waterproof 
seal at the site, keeping bacteria out.

Application

When it comes to navels, it is essential there is full coverage of the 
umbilicus all the way up to the body wall.
 Dipping navels tends to provide better 360° coverage.
 If you are dipping then place the entire umbilicus in your preferred 
container and hold the container up against the lamb’s body. Then 
raise the lamb with the jar held firmly against its abdomen so that 
the whole navel area is treated with NoBACZ Navel. 
If you would rather spray your stock’s navels then please ensure 
the whole length of the umbilicus is covered all the way up to, and 
including, the area of the stomach wall where the umbilicus begins.
