Description NumOcaine – A Fast-Acting Local Anaesthetic for Lambs NumOcaine is a fast-acting local anaesthetic that provides quick and targeted pain relief during lamb tail docking and castration. When used with the Numnuts applicator, it delivers precise dosing directly to the site of pain. Relief begins within minutes and continues for up to 45 minutes after application. This makes it easier to manage pain effectively while improving animal welfare outcomes. This anaesthetic is a valuable tool for ethical sheep husbandry.
