FE Blend DC is a homeopathic remedy traditionally used to support dairy cattle during periods of facial eczema risk. It is commonly selected to support natural liver function, skin health and overall wellbeing when pasture spore counts are elevated, helping farmers provide additional support during challenging seasonal conditions.
Facial eczema season can place significant pressure on dairy herds, particularly during warm, humid weather associated with increased spore counts. FE Blend DC may be used alongside pasture monitoring, good nutrition and sound farm management practices to support comfort, grazing behaviour and overall herd wellbeing throughout high-risk periods.

Understanding Facial Eczema & Pasture Conditions
Facial eczema in dairy cattle is commonly associated with sporidesmin exposure, which increases during warm, humid weather and high pasture spore counts. These conditions can place stress on the liver and skin, reducing grazing behaviour and overall wellbeing.
Supporting resilience during high‑risk periods is essential.
Many farmers choose to use FE Blend DC alongside good pasture management and spore monitoring to help maintain comfort and natural liver response.
Supporting liver and skin health during facial eczema season
Facial eczema risk increases during:
- Warm, humid nights
- High pasture spore counts
- Overgrazed paddocks
- Sudden weather changes
- Stress or reduced feed availability
Supporting skin and liver balance early helps maintain grazing behaviour, milk production, and overall herd stability.
Ways to help manage and prevent facial eczema:
- Monitor spore counts regularly
- Provide access to shade during high UV periods
- Avoid overgrazing and rotate paddocks frequently
- Offer supplementary feed during high‑risk weather
- Use FE Blend DC to support natural liver and skin response
- Add remedy to troughs for herd‑wide exposure during spore spikes

How to use
All Agripathics remedies are provided in liquid form, as this has proven to be the most practical and effective method of administration across species.
Individual Use:
For optimal absorption, remedies are best applied to a mucus membrane. In dairy cows, this typically means the nose or vulva. During milking, the vulva offers a convenient access point. A suggested approach is to spray 3–4 times per dose, ideally at three intervals: when the cow enters the shed, when cups are put on, and again at cup removal. This spacing allows for a minimum five-minute interval between applications, supporting consistent uptake and response.
For other farm animals, placing the remedy directly into the mouth or via food or water is generally the most effective method.
Group Use:
For herd-wide support, remedies can be added to the water trough. Adding 1–2 capfuls ensures that each animal receives a dose with every drink, allowing for repeated exposure throughout the day.

Ingredients
Homeopathic Ingredient:
Chelidonium, Hypericum, Facial eczema nosode
Base Composition
Formulated in a liquid base of human‑grade undenatured ethanol (10%) and spring water.
About Our Ethanol Base
Our remedies are preserved using human‑grade undenatured ethanol, selected for its purity and suitability across species. The gentle 10% concentration supports product stability while remaining appropriate for routine use with companion animals, birds, horses, and livestock.
Ethanol and Animal Administration
Each dose contains only a minimal amount of ethanol. Most animals tolerate this well, and remedies may be administered orally, added to feed or water, or applied topically depending on species and context.
For animals with known sensitivity - or when cautious administration is preferred - the following approaches may be used:
-
Dispense drops into feed and allow to stand for 20 minutes before offering
-
Dilute in a small volume of warm water and allow to stand for 20 minutes prior to administration
These methods allow partial ethanol evaporation while preserving the integrity of the active ingredients.
Ingredient Philosophy
We select ingredients with a focus on purity, safety, and functional integrity. Our undenatured ethanol base reflects this commitment - clean, balanced, and suitable for diverse species, from household companions to performance and production animals.
FAQ's
Is ethanol safe for animals? Yes. Our remedies use a very small amount of human‑grade undenatured ethanol (10%), which is widely accepted as safe for routine use across species.
Why is ethanol used in the remedies? Ethanol acts as a gentle preservative, helping maintain stability and potency over time. It also supports the integrity of homeopathic preparations.
Can sensitive animals still take the remedy? Absolutely. For animals with known sensitivity, drops can be added to feed or diluted in warm water and allowed to stand for 20 minutes. This allows partial evaporation while keeping the remedy effective.
Will my animal taste the ethanol? Most animals show no reaction at all. When added to food or water, the taste is minimal to undetectable.
