Injection system makes cattle medication go fartherWhite Oak Enterprises, Carthage, Mo., offers livestock producers a new injection system for medications. Medi-Darts are tools for giving intramuscular or subcutaneous injections to livestock without the need to restrain the animal. Medi-Darts unique needle design holds the dart in the animal until the medication is delivered. Once the injection is complete, the needle is pushed out of the animal by a patented system. Medi-Darts are made of space-age plastics and carry a full one year warranty against cracking and manufacturer's defects. The air powered injection system gives producers the ability to inject the thickest of medications regardless of temperature. Tests have shown that quieter and calmer cattle had greater average daily gains than cattle that became agitated during routine handling. The commonly used procedures to treat sick animals often cause extreme stress to the sick animals often cause extreme stress to the sick animal as well as varying degrees of stress to the rest of the herd. By reducing the stress while administering the antibiotic, the antibiotic can work faster and better. The completely reusable Medi-Dart syringe gives an intramuscular or subcutaneous injection using air pressure provided by a simple air pump. There is no cost per shot. The injection, up to 30 cc, is completed in a few seconds. As the plunger finishes the injection it pushes out an ejector loop, around the needle, releasing the syringe from the animal. The syringe falls to the ground and that animal has been medicated. Medi-Dart kits are available in crossbow, projectile or extension kits.
