NATIONAL ANIMAL HANDLING & HUSBANDRY
INJECTABLE SUBSTANCES
There are many different kinds of drugs you can deliver using our remote injection systems. Any drug that you would usually administer to your stock in a liquid form can be loaded into the dart and dispensed into the target animal – even mineral supplements, vaccines or vitamins in liquid form can be dispensed this way. You should always consult and discuss with your vet what drugs and dosages are appropriate for your stock before injecting them. National Animal Handling & Husbandry does not supply any drugs whether they are medicinal or tranquilizers etc – we are happy to provide limited information and help about these but you really need to deal with your vet about this. Below are some common drugs that farmers use to inject cattle – this is intended only as a rough guide to give you an idea of what can be accomplished via Remote Injection.
IVOMEC® (ivermectin) is an injectable parasiticide for cattle and swine. One low-volume dose effectively treats and controls the following internal and external parasites that may impair the health of cattle and swine: gastrointestinal roundworms (including inhibited Ostertagia ostertagi in cattle), lungworms, grubs, sucking lice, and mange mites of cattle; and gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, lice, and mange mites of swine. Discovered and developed by scientists from Merck Research Laboratories, ivermectin is a novel chemical entity. Its convenience, broadspectrum efficacy, and safety margin make Ivomec Injection a unique product for parasite control of cattle and swine.
