Cattle Boluses
These types of wormers are administered orally using product-specific equipment.
Closely follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure that the boluses are delivered over the back of the tongue, so they can be swallowed.
Avoid any excess force, as this can cause damage to the throat and do not depress the plunger until you are satisfied with the positioning of the bolus.
It is important that the animal stays as calm as possible and can swallow.
It is very difficult to successfully and safely complete administration if the neck is twisted and the animal is fighting you.
Sheep Bolus
The administration technique is a vital part of ensuring that the bolus does its job effectively.
Make sure that the sheep are properly restrained and cannot leap around when they are being given the bolus so that they are able to swallow correctly.
Sheep can also suffer serious injury, or even death, if they are unrestrained and the gun penetrates the tissues at the back of the mouth.
Place a hand under the head and tilt slightly to the side.
Slot the nozzle in the gap between molar and incisor teeth and then over the back of the tongue.
If the operative just puts the bolus into the mouth, it may be rejected by the sheep.
