PORTEK
ABOUT portek
Portek is a UK-based manufacturer and supplier of agricultural, forestry, and garden machinery, with over 35 years of experience in the industry. The company focuses on developing practical, problem-solving equipment for farming and land management, particularly in areas like crop protection, groundcare, and livestock support.
Its product range is quite broad, including bird deterrent systems, spraying equipment, log processing tools, fencing equipment, and hoof care products for cattle. A key part of its business is innovation and product design, aiming to improve efficiency and reduce labour for farmers and contractors.
Portek operates primarily as a trade-only supplier, meaning it sells through a network of dealers and distributors across the UK rather than directly to customers. This positions the company more as a behind-the-scenes manufacturer and wholesaler within the agricultural supply chain.

Bird Scaring
Noisy bird scaring:
Uses loud sounds such as gas guns, banger ropes, and distress-call audio devices to scare birds away by creating sudden noise and panic in the area.
Silent bird scaring:
Relies on movement, visual effects, or technology like lasers and wind-driven devices to deter birds without noise, making it ideal for built-up or noise-sensitive areas.
Traditional bird scaring:
Includes simple, visual deterrents like hanging crows or owl replicas that mimic natural predators using familiar, low-tech methods.
Hoof Support
Portek’s hoof support product, commonly known as the Original Cow Clog, is a proven solution designed to treat lameness in cattle by relieving pressure on an injured or infected claw. It works by attaching a shaped wooden block to the healthy claw using a fast-acting adhesive, effectively raising the affected claw off the ground to reduce pain and allow natural healing.
The system includes pre-measured adhesive components for easy mixing, along with wooden clogs that can be shaped to fit securely. Once applied, the adhesive forms a strong, durable bond, creating a supportive “boot” around the claw that holds the block firmly in place.
Designed as a low-cost and practical treatment, the cow clog is particularly effective for conditions such as bruised, ulcerated, or septic claws where only one claw is affected. By redistributing weight away from the damaged area, it promotes faster recovery and helps restore mobility and productivity in livestock.
The wooden construction also provides a natural, biodegradable alternative to plastic or rubber solutions, while gradually wearing down over time—typically within a couple of weeks—once healing has taken place.
Overall, Portek’s hoof support system offers a simple, effective, and widely trusted method for improving animal welfare and reducing downtime caused by lameness.
