Unimix® - treatment for milk fever in sheep and cattle

Unimix^® is a product of research by the Mackinnon Project at the University of Melbourne's Veterinary Faculty. It helps prevent the occurrence of 'hypocalcaemia' (low blood calcium, or milk fever) in cows and sheep. It also prevents relapses in affected animals that have been treated with 'milk-fever' injections ('Calcigol' or '4-in-1').

Cowslips® - treatment for lameness in cattle

The Mackinnon Project is the exclusive distributor of Cowslips^® in Australia.

Cowslips^® are rubber orthopaedic shoes for the treatment of lameness in cattle. They are available through private veterinarians.

The Cowslip^® is fitted to the healthy claw. This lifts the diseased claw off the ground, promoting more rapid healing and preventing production loss. Cowslips are most often used in dairy cattle, but are also effective in treating lameness in beef cows and bulls.
