What is a vetgun for cattle?
The VetGun is a unique delivery system that uses CO2-powered "paintball" technology to fire Insecticide-filled capsules (VetCaps) at cattle from a distance of 15 to 30 feet. This allows producers to treat their herd for horn flies and lice in the pasture without the need for a chute, headgate, or additional labor.
What are the key features of a vetgun?
- CO2 Powered: Uses standard CO2 canisters to propel the capsules with consistent velocity.
- Distance Delivery: Enables treatment from a safe distance, reducing animal stress and the need for corralling.
- Fragile Capsules: The VetCaps are designed to burst on impact, spreading the insecticide topically across the animal’s skin.
- Portability: Lightweight and easy to carry across pastures or on an ATV.
How to use a vetgun?
To use a VetGun, load the CO2 canister and the VetCaps into the device, then approach the herd to within the recommended 15 to 30-foot range. Aim for the fleshy part of the animal’s upper body (avoiding the head and eyes) and pull the trigger; the capsule will break upon contact, and the insecticide will naturally distribute over the animal's coat through their normal movement and grooming.
