Detail Paint and Done That!

Hello,

I know we’re all reeling from the mini-budget but there’s still good news for MagentaDirect.ie customers!

We have our ever-popular FIL Detail Paint back in stock!


FIL Detail Paint is a specially formulated paint that is quick and simple to apply to the tailhead of cows and heifers to identify animals in heat.

  • Quick and easy to apply 500mlbottle with applicator brush attached.
  • Less costly and often more reliable than other heat detection methods.
  • Lasts up to 4 weeks subject to correct application and conditions
  • Comes in four bright colours: RED, BLUE, GREEN and YELLOW…allows you to monitor the breeding status of the whole herd.
  • Non-irritating, weather resistant. Contains bittering agent to stop cows licking it off.

How does it work?

Apply a strip of paint 15cm long by 5cm wide forward along the spine from the tail head. Animals expressing oestrus activity or “standing heat” will have their patch rubbed due to the pressure of other animals riding/mounting them. This will even identify cows that are in heat for a short time, often missed by visual observation.

EXCLUSIVE TO MAGENTA DIRECT CUSTOMERS:

Order now and we'll throw in a free Herd Management Chart to help you

use the FIL Detail Paint system to it's fullest.

Done That Spray Dye




As stated back in August 2008, our testing of Done That, the dye you can add to your spot-sprayer to see where you've sprayed, has been carried out by Pat our resident expert.

He was very happy with the results. It highlighted the plants that had been sprayed in a highly visable BLUE colour, and on any concrete it hit washed off in the next downpour.
