Product Description
Head Scoop
The IAE Super Scoop has a moulded plastic scoop which dramatically reduces the available side-to-side movement of the animal’s head, providing greater safety for both the animal and operator. The Super Scoop takes the strain out of tasks such as dosing and ear tagging. It keeps the head up so reducing the risk of the animal choking. It also helps prevent animal collapsing. The new design Head Scoop makes ear tags less likely to get caught and broken or loosened. The locking ratchet mechanism is improved by using a concentric ratchet locking face and pawl allowing for an easier release when under load. This reduces strain on the operator and animal. The central pivot point now has a larger bore and a new bearing spreads the load over a greater area, significantly reducing wear on that component.

Hugh MacEneaney, Teagasc Dairy Adviser, Mullinavat, Co Kilkenny
“Good facilities allow farmers to expand production and incomes and add to the asset value of the farm. They also lead to a better quality of life for the farm family by reducing the workload and the drudgery. In many cases, particularly on dairy farms, buildings pay for themselves over a 7-10 year period. This is especially true when capital grant and tax savings are available.”
