ScratchE® pads are easy to use, with an extra strong self adhesive side application is fast and hassle free. These labour saving scratch cards can be easily applied by one person, and they mould easily over the cow#s backbone for a secure fit. ScratchE® has a protective top layer which is #rubbed# off by the mounting activity of herd mates. When this occurs, a colourful under layer is exposed, making it easy to identify a standing heat.
