The origin of a brand or branding is very old, the practice of branding originates in identifying the need by farmers to identify ownership of livestock in a way which is unique and easily visible. Even in todays digital world, the US brand registers are the only form of legal livestock ownership identification. A brand is a permanent marker and in todays commercial world a brand confirms a product or companies value proposition. The TechniPharm brand has been designed along the principles of Dairy Brand criteria and its value proposition is described in the attached PDF file. The Dairy Handling brand will be visible on all our promotion material and equipment and will be your guarantee of genuine ownership and pride.
Modern farming demands more from Dairy handling systems than ever before. With growing adoption of wearables like Halter, tighter labour availability, and increased focus on animal wellbeing and operator safety, yards must deliver fast, calm, efficient handling — every time.
TechniPharm’s handling and hoofcare solutions are built as complete Wearable Infrastructure, purpose-designed to make collar fitting, removal, treatments and hoofcare safer, faster and more consistent. Our innovations include remote-controlled electric-hydraulic operation, quiet secure restraint, and optional Collar Care Auto features such as rubber-lined yokes and automatic neck extenders that create safe access space around the animal.
Whether you’re drafting, weighing, treating, trimming, or managing collars, TechniPharm systems reduce stress, improve cow flow and minimise time in the yards — keeping animals calm and operators in control.

Farm Safety Starts with You – And the Right Equipment Helps
Farm safety has always been a critical issue. Many farmers know from experience how quickly things can go wrong — animals are unpredictable, machinery can fail, and maintenance checks can be overlooked during busy periods. With the average age of farmers increasing and modern-day distractions like mobile phones becoming more common, staying safe on-farm requires greater attention than ever.
At TechniPharm, we are focused on helping farmers reduce risk with smarter, safer equipment solutions and practical advice. Here are three simple safety checks we recommend:
1. Pre-Use Equipment Inspection
Before using any equipment — especially animal handling gear — take a moment to check:
Is the head bail locking properly?
Are gate latches functioning as they should?
Do you need to grease moving parts?
Are trip hazards removed or clearly identified?
2. Review Your Farm Workflows
Ask yourself:
Could there be a better or safer way to do this task?
Are your staff properly trained and equipped?
Do you have clearly defined safe zones for people, separated from stock?
Tip: A head bail that opens directly into a pen full of animals is not a safe setup. Always aim to separate human and animal workspaces where possible.
3. Consider Upgrades
Older equipment was built to the safety standards of its time — but design thinking and materials have advanced. Upgrading to modern, well-designed systems can significantly improve safety outcomes.
We offer a range of products designed to enhance safety on your farm:
Animal Control Pacifier
Keeps animals calm during handling, reducing stress and the risk of injury.
Passive or Active Hydraulic Headbail
Headbails designed for animals and use by people
Hydraulic Hands-Free Systems
For large-scale operations, hydraulic units offer “hands-off” safety and efficiency.
Smart Yard & Handler Designs
Our yards feature multiple safe access points, smart gate layouts, and purpose-designed treatment areas to keep both stock and operators safe.
With nearly 30 years of experience, our team understands what works in real farming situations. We offer on-farm assessments to review your current handling facilities and make safety-based recommendations.
