The EasyWean® NoseRing® is a reusable, non-piercing device fitted into a calf’s nostrils using a bolt and wing nut. Keep the NoseRing® in for four to six weeks if the calf remains with its mother. For calves that are to be taken away from their mothers, fit NoseRings® for about 2 weeks before separation.

To fit, insert the device into the nostrils with the spikes facing forwards and upwards, and adjust the wingnut to allow for comfortable movement. To remove, loosen the wingnut and slide the NoseRing® out of the calf’s nose. NoseRings® are reusable. For long-term use, the rings should be cleaned, greased, and stored without tension on the plastic.
