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:
Tick nosode, Ixodes Holo, Eugenia car, Ledum, Sulphur.
Base Composition
Formulated in a liquid base of human‑grade undenatured ethanol (10%) and purified 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.

Reviews
"This product works really well. We had ticks on the cows and when we started treatment, noticed a mass reduction in tick within 24 hours. We started adding it into their water trough but then tried putting it into the teat spray mix, seems to work just as well. Really pleased with the outcome." Brett
