An instrument employed in livestock management facilitates the subcutaneous administration of growth-promoting hormones or medications to animals, typically cattle or sheep. This device ensures precise and consistent delivery of small pellets or capsules under the animal’s skin.
This method enhances feed efficiency, leading to increased weight gain and improved meat quality. The practice dates back several decades and has become a standard component of modern livestock production. The technique contributes to a more sustainable and efficient use of resources in animal husbandry, allowing producers to achieve optimal growth rates with reduced feed input. This results in economic benefits for farmers and potentially lower costs for consumers.
