​Opti Mag Plastic Balling Gun

Dosage
2 bullets 2-3 days before turn out or period of risk. If necessary repeat no later than four weeks.

Application
Only to be given to cattle of at least 300 kg bodyweight.
Administer orally by using the specially designed bolus gun.
Load the gun by inserting the bolus into the open end.
Open the animal's mouth and the gun should then be introduced carefully and gently until the bolus is in the region of the back of the tongue.
Severe pressure on the tongue should be avoided.
Depression of the plunger will deliver the bolus onto the rear part of the tongue, thereby initiating a swallowing action.
The gun should then be carefully withdrawn from the mouth.
A second bolus should then be administered following the same procedure.

Observe each animal for a short time after administration to ensure that the boli have not been regurgitated.

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.
