Product Overview

The Stainless Steel Cattle Bolus Applicator is a professional livestock medication device designed to assist with the controlled oral administration of compatible boluses, capsules and other approved solid oral products to cattle.

The long stainless steel application tube provides extended reach, while the handheld trigger mechanism supports controlled release of the loaded bolus. Smooth, rounded contact surfaces are designed to help reduce unnecessary irritation during correct veterinary use.

Its robust construction, simple mechanical operation and easy-clean surface make it suitable for commercial dairy farms, beef operations, veterinary teams, livestock service companies and agricultural equipment distributors.

Key Features
  • Stainless steel construction provides durability for repeated livestock handling.
  • Long application tube provides suitable reach for oral bolus administration to cattle.
  • Pistol-style handle supports firm and controlled operation.
  • Mechanical trigger and plunger system enables controlled bolus release.
  • Smooth internal and external surfaces simplify routine cleaning and sanitation.
  • Rounded application end helps provide a smoother contact surface when used correctly.
  • Suitable for compatible cattle boluses and veterinary capsules according to applicator size.
  • Portable design requires no permanent installation.
  • Suitable for routine herd health procedures in commercial livestock facilities.
  • OEM dimensions, handle configuration and packaging can be customized according to project requirements.
Structural Components
  • Stainless steel application tube: Main delivery section designed for durable, hygienic livestock use.
  • Bolus holding chamber: Retains the compatible oral bolus or capsule before administration.
  • Plunger assembly: Transfers the loaded bolus toward the release end during operation.
  • Trigger mechanism: Provides mechanical control of the plunger for consistent operation.
  • Ergonomic handle: Provides a stable grip during livestock handling procedures.
  • Rounded application tip: Designed to provide a smoother contact surface during proper administration.
  • Retaining mechanism: Configuration can be selected according to the compatible bolus or capsule size.
Working Principle / Structural Principle

The applicator operates as a mechanical balling gun. A compatible bolus or capsule is positioned inside the holding section at the end of the application tube. The operator then uses the handle and trigger mechanism to move the plunger forward and release the product.

The extended tube allows the operator to position the oral dose toward the rear of the animal's mouth while maintaining control of the tool from outside the mouth.

For animal welfare and safe operation, the applicator must be matched to the animal size and compatible bolus dimensions and used only by trained personnel following the product manufacturer's instructions and applicable veterinary procedures. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
