Selected livestock tools for farm and animal-care work
OZBEE’s livestock range includes elastrator pliers, compatible rubber rings and hoof picks for selected sheep, lamb, cattle and horse-care tasks. These are specialist tools and must be used only by a competent person under current animal-welfare, veterinary and workplace requirements.
Product availability does not establish that a procedure is suitable, lawful or humane in every situation. Before ordering an elastration tool or rings, obtain advice from a veterinarian or relevant livestock professional about animal age, health, pain relief, technique and local obligations.
Elastrator pliers and rings
Elastrator pliers stretch compatible rings for approved livestock procedures. Stainless steel and standard plier options may include a set of rings, while replacement rings are also available separately. The ring dimensions and tool posts must match so the equipment operates predictably.
Do not use elastration equipment without practical instruction. Incorrect selection, placement or aftercare can cause severe pain, injury, infection or loss of the animal.
Hoof picks
A hoof pick removes packed dirt and debris during routine horse hoof inspection. Use a calm handling setup, support the hoof securely and work away from sensitive structures. A hoof pick is not a substitute for a farrier or veterinarian when lameness, injury, heat, odour or abnormal hoof condition is present.
Selecting and inspecting livestock tools
- Confirm the tool is intended for the animal and task.
- Match replacement rings to the plier design.
- Inspect metal, hinges, posts and grips before every use.
- Clean and disinfect reusable tools under the property biosecurity plan.
- Remove damaged, corroded or unreliable equipment from service.
Animal welfare comes first
Plan animal restraint, hygiene, pain management, monitoring and follow-up before any procedure. Requirements can differ by species, age, state and production system. When there is uncertainty, delay the procedure and seek qualified veterinary advice.

Frequently asked questions
What animals are elastrator tools used with?
Uses vary by product and local requirements. Obtain veterinary or livestock-professional guidance for the specific species, age and procedure.
Do replacement rings fit every elastrator?
No. Ring size and elasticity must match the tool. Check the product specification before ordering.
Can an inexperienced person use an elastrator?
These tools require practical competence and an understanding of animal welfare, pain management, hygiene and aftercare. Seek qualified instruction first.
When should a veterinarian be contacted?
Contact a veterinarian when suitability is uncertain or an animal shows pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, abnormal behaviour or other complications.
What is a hoof pick used for?
It removes dirt and debris so the hoof can be routinely inspected. It does not replace professional farrier or veterinary care.
How should livestock tools be cleaned?
Follow a property biosecurity and disinfection plan appropriate to the tool, animal and procedure, then dry and store equipment securely.
