Nettex Poultry Wound Spray – 250ml

Nettex Poultry Wound Care Spray – 250ml

A wound spray for poultry has two jobs: clean the graze, and stop the rest of the flock finding it. Nettex's spray does both — antibacterial on application, and violet-coloured, so the treated skin is obviously covered and the red of blood is masked.

That colour is the practical part. A bare patch with blood on it draws pecking within hours, and a violet one draws far less, which gives the skin the quiet it needs to scab over.

Performance & Benefits

• Antibacterial, helping protect a minor wound from bacterial infection.
• Leaves a violet residue, so you can see at a glance that the area has been covered.
• The colour disguises the appearance of blood, which helps discourage further pecking.
• Spray application from about 15cm, so there is no need to handle the wound itself.
• 250ml can.

Suitable For

• Minor cuts, grazes and peck wounds on poultry.
• Bare patches that other birds have started to target.
• A poultry first aid kit alongside gloves and a separation pen.
• Not for large open wounds that may need stitching or hydrogel dressing — Nettex say so themselves, and those need a vet.

How to Use

• Clean the wound first.
• Spray the area from about 15cm — roughly six inches.
• Repeat daily, or as often as necessary.
• Keep the bird separated while the wound is fresh if the flock is taking an interest.

Care & Caution

• Nettex state it must not be used on large open wounds that may require stitching or hydrogel bandaging.
