Animal Feeding Gun (10/20/30/50 ml): Comprehensive explanation
Definition
An animal feed gun (also known as a dose gun or oral dose sprayer) is a handheld tool designed to safely manage liquid medications, supplements or nutrients to animals. It is often used to provide an orally accurate dose in veterinary care, livestock management or pet care, avoiding incorrect doses or risk of stress during manual feeding.
Components
Barrel: Made of durable plastic or stainless steel, marked with volume measurements (e.g., 10ml, 20ml, 30ml, 50ml) for accurate dosing.
Plunger: A manual piston to draw in and expel liquids. Some models include a thumb ring for better grip.
Nozzle/Mouthpiece: A long, narrow tip (often curved or blunt) to safely reach the back of the animal’s mouth or throat.
Dose Lock: Adjustable settings to pre-measure doses (prevents over-administration).
How it works
Loading: Pull the piston and complement it in liquid medicine or barrel.
Dose: Set the required amount of dose (if available).
Administration: Slowly put nozzle in the animal’s mouth (on the back of the teeth or cheek bag) and press the stamp gently to spread the liquid.
Application
Pets: Administration of disabled, vitamins or electrolytes to cattle, sheep, goats or pigs.
Pets: Distribute oral medicines for dogs, cats or exotic animals (eg errors, rabbits).
Poultry: Provide vaccine or supplement to chickens or turkey.
Rehabilitation of wildlife: feeding or feeding or orphan.
Distribute
Exact: ensuring accurate doses, is important for powerful medications.
