Why Invest in ICU Small Animal Rugs?

ICU Small Animal Allrounder Rug
We decided to manufacture a calf rug without a pouch in it to place a heat pad. Reasoning behind this was l don’t believe every calf needs a heat pad and this lessons your cost in purchasing a Allrounder.
The Allrounder Rug is the same design as the other but without a pouch.
You still can use the other calf rugs with the pouch just without a heat pad as this is what farmers with great satisfaction keeping the calf warm and out of drafts and the weather.
 
The Design of Our Calf Rug
Our design is simple but with the newborn upmost consideration has been considered.
This design has worked extremely well from Premature Newborns to the Larger Calves hitting the ground.
The front of the rug you just slip over the head of the Newborn there are no buckles or clips to do up. The front is put together with a very soft 2-inch webbing.
 
 
The “U” Cut
Our rugs have been designed with a “U” cut in the tail section of the rug. This allow the birthmother to easily I.D her offspring’s scent. Also, this keeps the weight off the pins and tail dock to prevent any damage to the nerves in this area.
Also, in this area we have incorporated a pocket that sits between the 2 layers of fabric that covers the kidneys of the newborn. 
This in turns warms the blood of the newborn in scenarios of being born out in cold wet weather, suffering from a difficult birth, hypothermia, pneumonia, scours and many more problems that are associated with what newborns may be exposed to.
 
No Belly Strap
There is no belly strap around the centre of the rug which enables the birthmother to lick and clean her offspring’s umbilical cord and allows air flow to circulate in this area.
With male newborns this also stops them urinating on a belly strap which again could cause infection to the umbilical cord area more hygienic.
Our rug has been made for balance on your newborns so there isn’t any need for a belly strap.
 
Leg Straps
Leg straps are made from a strong cotton webbing.
This is sewn into the hem of the rug, and they fasten onto “D” rings low on the rug keeping chills and drafts off the newborn.
 
The Outer Fabric
Keeping in mind that we didn’t want to make a rug that was heavy especially for newborns. We discovered a fabric that is waterproof/windproof and breathable. This fabric is as light as a feather.
This fabric is 5000/mm meaning that it is waterproof up to 5 metres of rain before it should leak. The liner of the out shell is 5000/gsm being that it will wick up to a square metre of moisture in a 24-hour block.
The membrane also in this fabric stops the cold from entering the fabric, this in turn keeps the newborn body temperature normal.
 
The Liner Inside of The Rug
The inner layer is a double side thermal fabric that wicks moisture away from the animal’s skin whilst circulating heat around the newborns body. This fabric works extremely well in cold conditions even if the animal is not active, it will keep the body heat circulating.
Both the outer layer and the liner have been treated against bacterial, mould and is odourless. 
Being odourless this enables you to place the rug on multiple animals without the birthmother being confused over the scent of her offspring.
