Product Information
Full details
The Agrimark Prolapse Harness is designed for sheep farmers and livestock managers needing a reliable, humane solution to support ewes experiencing prolapse issues. By providing consistent, gentle external pressure, this harness helps prevent tissue exposure and livestock loss during critical periods. While highly effective at retention, users should note that the harness serves as a supportive aid rather than a cure for underlying health conditions and should be monitored closely by a veterinary professional.

FAQs
Can the ewe graze while wearing the harness?
Yes, the harness is designed to allow the ewe to move and graze normally, provided it is fitted correctly.
How long should the ewe wear the harness?
The duration depends on the severity of the prolapse. Please consult with your veterinarian to determine the appropriate length of time for your specific case.
Is the Uteri Support mandatory?
The Uteri Support is included for added reinforcement. It is recommended to use it for extra stability, but you can assess if it is necessary based on the individual needs of the ewe.
Can I wash the harness in a machine?
It is recommended to hand wash the harness using warm water and mild, animal-safe disinfectant to avoid damaging the buckles and strap webbing.
Will the bright color fade?
The red material is durable, but like any fabric left in the field, some fading may occur over time due to sun exposure. This will not affect the performance of the harness.
Troubleshooting
Harness keeps slipping out of place
Re-adjust the tension on the side straps to ensure they are snug enough to prevent movement but not so tight that they restrict the ewe's breathing or movement.
Signs of skin irritation or chafing
Loosen the straps slightly if possible, or apply a veterinary-approved barrier cream to the contact area. If irritation persists, remove the harness and consult a vet.
Ewe is unable to stand or walk normally
The harness is likely fitted too tightly. Loosen all straps immediately to restore proper circulation and range of motion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before use, inspect all straps and buckles for any signs of wear or debris. Clean the harness thoroughly before fitting it to the ewe to maintain hygiene. To fit, slide the harness over the hindquarters and fasten the straps to achieve gentle, firm compression. After removal, the harness should be washed with a mild, animal-safe disinfectant and dried completely before storage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the webbing materials. If the harness becomes soiled with mud or organic matter, rinse with clean water immediately to prevent the build-up of bacteria that could cause infection.
