It is a blend of remedies traditionally associated with wound care and infection, for sheep, cattle, goats, pigs, horses, deer, poultry and more. Give it straight into the mouth, in feed or in the water trough, whichever suits your animals. Farm Mend is non-withholding and handmade in New Zealand.
Information
Farm Mend for wounds and infection in farm animals
Farm Mend is a homeopathic blend made to assist farm animals that have a wound or infection. It combines the remedies traditionally associated with infection and pus formation, so you have one bottle on hand for the cuts, punctures and knocks that happen on every farm and lifestyle block.
It's usually chosen as soon as a wound is found, and again if an area becomes hot, swollen or starts to weep. Farmers often keep a bottle in the shed or the ute for docking, shearing and the busy summer months.
When might Farm Mend be considered?
- Fresh cuts, grazes and tears from wire, fences or yards
- Puncture wounds from nails, thorns or bites
- A wound that is hot, swollen or weeping
- Pus forming, or a lump that may be an abscess
- Wounds that are slow to heal
- After a vet procedure
After flystrike
Once a strike has been found, the wool clipped away, the maggots removed and the area cleaned, the skin underneath is raw and open to infection. Farm Mend is traditionally used at this stage to support healing, alongside FS Blend for the rest of the mob during the fly season. Read more in our article Flystrike in sheep and goats.
Docking, tailing and shearing
Lambs and kids after docking or tailing, and sheep with shearing cuts, all have fresh wounds at a time of year when flies are active. Giving Farm Mend in the days after is an easy way to support the whole mob through it, especially in the water trough.
Common situations where Farm Mend may be used
- Docking, tailing and castration
- Shearing and crutching cuts
- Rams and bucks with fighting wounds
- Dehorning
- Wire, fence and yard injuries
- After a flystrike has been treated
Part of your flock and herd health programme
Farm Mend works best alongside good wound care: clean wounds as soon as you find them, keep animals in a clean, dry area where you can, and keep an eye on them for a few days. If a wound is deep, the animal has a temperature, goes off its feed or seems unwell, call your vet. Farm Mend is used alongside your vet's care, not instead of it.

About Agripathics
Agripathics is a proudly New Zealand-owned and operated range of handmade homeopathic remedies developed specifically for farm and production animals. Created by qualified Animal Homeopath Paulette Carpenter, the range supports the health, wellbeing and resilience of dairy cattle, horses, poultry, sheep and other farm animals through all stages of life and production.
Developed from decades of practical farming and animal health experience, Agripathics remedies are trusted by farmers throughout New Zealand for use in everyday herd, flock and stable management. From calving and mastitis support through to injury, stress, digestive health and general wellbeing, every remedy is crafted with care using traditional homeopathic principles and quality ingredients.
How to use
Farm mend is supplied in liquid form, which we find to be the easiest and most effective method of administration for all farm animals. Homoeopathic remedies can be given directly into the animal's mouth, added to feed, or mixed into drinking water. All methods are equally effective.
To maintain hygiene, avoid contaminating the dropper if administering directly into the mouth. For best practice, dispense the drops onto a clean teaspoon or other sterile utensil before offering them to your horse.
Dosage Instructions
Acute use: Administer 4 drops into the mouth every 2 hours, up to 6 doses. This course may be repeated if needed.

Disclaimer

Ingredients
Homeopathic Ingredient:
Arnica, Calendula, Echinacea, Gun Powder, Hypericum, Ledum, Pyrogenium
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.

★★★★★Farm Mend for Joint IllBrilliant results for my two lambs that had joint ill. They were progressively getting worse and I had made the call to not let them suffer. I thought I would try this as a last ditch effort to help them, it was delivered the next day after I ordered it and within one week of using the highest dose both the lambs were back to normal. No limping and happy. They have been well now for a month and I tell everyone how amazing their recovery was and how quickly it worked for them.
