Straight Sheep Bolus Applicator

The Straight Sheep Bolus Applicator is a manual veterinary dosing instrument designed for controlled oral administration of compatible boluses to goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep and goats. Its straight delivery shaft provides a simple, direct insertion path for routine mineral, nutritional and veterinary bolus programs.

The JorVet J1523 reference model is specifically listed as a straight bolus or balling gun for sheep and goats. Commercial specifications for this model describe a spring-loaded rubber tip that accepts multiple bolus sizes, a 13-inch overall length, chrome-plated construction and an approximate weight of 16 oz.

The applicator is suitable for commercial sheep farms, goat farms, veterinary livestock operations, handling races and agricultural equipment supply programs where durable, reusable oral dosing tools are required.

• Straight Delivery Design: Provides a direct shaft configuration for controlled oral bolus placement.
• Sheep and Goat Application: The JorVet reference model is specifically designed for small-ruminant bolus administration.
• Spring-Loaded Rubber Tip: Helps retain compatible boluses before release and accepts multiple bolus sizes.
• Chrome-Plated Construction: Provides a durable, smooth surface suitable for repeated livestock use and routine cleaning.
• Ring-Handle Operation: Finger-ring configuration provides positive manual control during loading, insertion and bolus release.
• Reusable Veterinary Tool: Designed for repeated flock-processing and supplementation programs when cleaned and maintained correctly.
• Simple Mechanical Structure: No electrical or pneumatic supply is required.
• Commercial Farm Use: Suitable for flock health programs, livestock handling facilities and veterinary field work.

A compatible bolus is loaded into the spring-loaded retaining tip. The animal is then restrained appropriately and the straight applicator is introduced carefully through the mouth according to the bolus manufacturer's administration instructions.

After correct positioning is achieved, the operator advances the rear plunger. The internal push rod moves forward and releases the bolus from the rubber tip so that the animal can swallow it.

The applicator is then withdrawn carefully and the animal should be observed to confirm normal swallowing.

Important: Bolus dimensions, animal size and dosing procedure must always comply with the instructions for the specific veterinary or nutritional product being administered. The applicator should never be forced.
