CATTLE GALLSTONES

Listing description

Gallstone is clay-like solid substance found in the gallbladder of a matured cow or oxen. It is about the size of a peanut and can be as big as a pigeon egg. At times, they could be as big as ordinary eggs and can weigh between 15 and 18 grammes. They are collected by pharmaceutical companies abroad for medical purposes.

Detailed description

Gallstone is very fragile material that requires careful handling during processing or when transporting to the buyer. Any form of careless handling will lead to breakage which will mean a big loss of money as can be seen from the price analysis above.

It can also degenerate into poor quality due to improper processing like poor drying, uncontrolled exposure etc. an investor therefore, has to be inducted and guided as to the processing and handling procedure.

Collection Methods

Collection methods have varied with different operations and slaughter floor designs. Removal of the paunch and liver together reduces the incidence of torn gallbladders and spilt bile. It is recommended that gallbladders be removed from the liver as soon as possible after evisceration.
Many collection traps incorporate a funnel and screen or sieve. Bile spillage is common. In some cases, stone may deteriorate with released bile constantly washing over the collected stone. Our gall retrieval system has been designed to increase yields of both bile and gallstone with the emphasis on efficiency and safety.
Retrievable "gallstone" product is not limited to collections from the gallbladder. Stones can also develop in the main bile ducts of the liver. A considerable amount of tube or "pipe" from these bile ducts is retrieved by many successful operators in their collection.

Drying and Storage

Correct procedures in drying and handling gallstones will ensure best prices are received. Stone must be dried in the dark, as the active ingredient (bilirubin) is photo sensitive and degenerates in light. The drying time will vary depending upon the size and texture of each stone and the atmosphere in which it is stored for drying.
Procedures can be adopted to reduce the amount of broken stone and mould formation. Instruction and training in "best practice" drying procedures form part of our gall retrieval system. Our office will be pleased to assist with further information on drying and any problems you may be experiencing.

Packing and Mailing

Stones must be thoroughly dried before shipping. Properly dried stones are brittle. Every precaution should be taken in the handling and packing to prevent breakage. Whole dried stones should be individually wrapped in clean facial tissues then again in paper hand towelling. Parcels of stone should be packed in a tin, such as milo, coffee or biscuit tin, with sufficient packing to hold the stones firm and prevent movement in transit.
