Numnuts blocks the acute pain that follows tail docking and castration of lambs with rubber rings. It’s an easy to use ring applicator, combined with an injector that dispenses local anaesthetic. Recommended for lambs aged 4 – 12 weeks.
Developed with Moredun Research Institute, and validated by international animal health and welfare research organisations, Numnuts provides lambs with the best start in life and helps sheep farmers achieve industry best practice by adopting an ethical, sustainable approach to castration and de-tailing.

Worldwide, more than 100 million lambs are castrated and tail docked each year without pain relief. Numnuts’ patented technology is a practical, farmer-friendly method for alleviating the pain suffered when lambs go through these husbandry procedures.
Pain relief is injected at the same time as ring application to the tail or testes, providing targeted pain relief that kicks in almost immediately.
Numnuts is entirely unique. No other device exists that allows farmers to provide targeted pain relief to lambs during tail docking and castration.
Numnuts was launched in Australia in 2019, after 10 years of research & development, via an international collaboration between welfare scientists at at Australia’s national scientific research organisation (CSIRO) and Moredun Research Institute in Scotland, in combination with product design engineers 4c Design. Numnuts has been available in Australia since 2019, New Zealand since 2021 and is now available to farmers in the UK, subject to local regulations.
Since its launch, Numnuts has been used by hundreds of pioneering sheep farmers and vets, with over 3 million doses of anaesthetic administered so far.
"It was the highlight of our year at Aloeburn Poll to work with the team at Numnuts. We are constantly looking to increase all aspects of animal welfare and lift the productivity of our efficient, productive Poll Merinos."
"Blood free for 25 years and now we have pain relief with numnuts. We can YouTube the whole process with excellent animal and production outcomes... Rings and pain relief = best community, animal and production outcomes."
