Adult Sheep Bolus Applicator

The Adult Sheep Bolus Applicator is a reusable livestock dosing tool designed for controlled oral administration of compatible mineral, trace-element and nutritional boluses to mature goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep.

The reference Agrimin Sheep Bolus Applicator A is a metal applicator intended for adult sheep and is used with designated adult-sheep bolus products. Its long curved delivery tube, trigger-operated mechanism and shaped applicator cup allow a compatible bolus to be positioned toward the rear of the mouth for swallowing.

The applicator is suitable for commercial sheep farms, breeding operations, veterinary livestock programs and agricultural project procurement where repeatable bolus administration and durable equipment are required.

Different screw-on applicator cups can be used with compatible sheep and lamb bolus formats, allowing one applicator body to support several approved bolus configurations when the correct cup is fitted.

• Adult Sheep Application: Designed for administration of compatible boluses to mature sheep.
• Metal Delivery Tube: Rigid tubular construction provides accurate positioning and durability for repeated livestock handling.
• Ergonomic Trigger Handle: Lever-operated mechanism allows controlled release of the bolus with one hand while the animal is restrained.
• Curved Applicator Tube: The shaped delivery section is designed to follow the natural direction of the sheep's mouth during correct administration.
• Replaceable Applicator Cup: Screw-on cup design allows compatible heads to be changed for different approved sheep or lamb bolus products.
• Reusable Farm Tool: Suitable for repeated flock-management programs when cleaned and maintained correctly.
• Robust Construction: Metal applicator components are suited to commercial livestock environments and seasonal flock treatment programs.
• Simple Mechanical Operation: Does not require electricity, compressed air or external power.
• B2B Supply: Applicator sets, compatible cups and packaging configurations are available according to project requirements.

A compatible bolus is first loaded into the correct applicator cup. After the sheep is properly restrained, the applicator is introduced carefully through the side of the mouth and guided over the tongue toward the rear of the oral cavity.

When the applicator is correctly positioned, the operator activates the trigger. The push rod moves forward and releases the bolus from the cup so the animal can swallow it.

The applicator must always be matched to the specific bolus size and manufacturer-approved cup. Using an incorrect cup or forcing the applicator can cause poor administration or injury.

Important: Bolusing should only be carried out by trained livestock personnel following the instructions supplied with the bolus and applicator. If resistance is encountered, the applicator should not be forced.
