CALF DRENCHER BOVIVET

The Bovivet drenchers are probably the most widely used products around the world for the administration of colostrum and other fluids to newborn calves. They are available in two models: rigid probe and flexible probe. The rigid probe drencher allows for one-hand use, whilst the other hand is holding the calf’s head. The flexible probe model allows for easy positioning of the probe without direct encumbrance of the fluid container. In both cases the probe features a knob tip especially designed to reduce the possibility of malpositioning to the lungs. Container capacity 2 litres.

Usual veterinarian recommendations are to administer approximately two litres of high-quality body temperature colostrum directly into the calf’s stomach soon after birth. This guarantees the calf receives enough of this important foodstuff to gain the immunities it imparts. Colostrum should be tested for concentration of antibodies before use or storage. Only best quality colostrum should be used.
