The Problem:  Parasites are the leading cause of economic loss in every one of the world's largest beef cattle producing countries. Horn flies cause the highest rate of productivity loss in North America; damage to the beef cattle industry is estimated at up to $1Billion per year. Horn flies interrupt grazing activity and their feeding results in up to a pint of blood loss per animal per day. Research shows that horn flies can cause 17% to 33 % reduction in weight gain per animal over an 80 day period.

Applying insecticide normally requires gathering and confining cattle for spraying, dosing with pour-on or applying ear tags. Many ranchers just don't have access to suitable facilities at all times of the year. Most ranchers find the physical difficulty involved, finding the labor they need and the time it takes to work the cattle safely a real inconvenience. There are also safety risks involved, and it is stressful for both the cattle and their handlers. Ranchers therefore tend to avoid working cattle whenever possible and their cattle often go untreated.

The SmartVet VetGun Solution:  The VetGun uses precision-engineered CO2 power to project a precise dosage of AiM-L™ VetCap to treat the animal, without any handling at all.The VetCap is a patented new dosage form that encapsulates liquid parasiticides in a special softgel capsule. It is delivered using SmartVet's VetGun delivery system. The VetGun is designed to fire the VetCaps out to a range of about 30 feet. The VetCap bursts on the cow, releasing its contents; the formulation then goes to work in a similar way to pour-on products. The VetGun and VetCaps are engineered not to startle the cattle, and minimize any discomfort caused by the dosing process. Putting down a lick, hay or feed creates a positive association with the dosing process, and helps reduce any stress. With most animals there is only a momentary reaction before they return to feeding. The entire process can be completed quickly, and with far less disruption or stress than any conventional processes that require cattle to be gathered, yarded or run through a chute. The VetGun is proving to be an excellent tool in low stress handling systems.
