About NoBacz
NoBACZ’s cutting-edge products are developed using their unique patented mineral-polymer-technology combining a natural polymer and mineral salts.

Testimonials
“I used Ambugreen on orf lesions in lambs this year and saw rapid drying of the area, and an improvement in healing times compared to previous years. I think this product is a total game changer! I would definitely use this product again and recommend it to other farmers. ”
“Ambugreen has been a brilliant alternative to topical sprays. The durability of the product means sites where it is applied are protected for longer, giving great results even from a single application.”

PRODUCT FEATURES
UMBIREZ is the first navel product to offer a physical protective coating on the navel combined with trusted cleansing and rapid desiccation. It has been robustly trialled in the largest ever navel protection study¹ where it was shown to be superior to iodine with 18 more lambs surviving per 1000 born in the UMBIREZ treated group versus the iodine treated group. Plus it has a bitter ingredient to deter licking off.
UMBIREZ was specifically developed to improve hygiene and protection during common on farm hygiene procedures like navel dipping, ear tag placement in lambs and calves. Unlike traditional dip products that simply cleanse the site UMBIREZ cleanses and coats the treated areas with a unique patented bioresin combined with metal salts. This layer keeps bacteria out during the drying period for ultimate navel protection.
UMBIREZ – PROVEN IN THE LARGEST EVER NAVEL PROTECTION STUDY
UMBIREZ has been robustly trialled in the largest ever navel protection study (2). It’s been shown to reduce lamb mortality by 21% versus iodine meaning that 18 more lambs per 1000 born will survive. The study also demonstrated improved 8 week weights in live lambs versus the iodine treated group too.
