ProFlora™ Cattle Capsule

To administer, please follow the instructions recommended below:

Step 1: Place the large end of a capsule into a bovine bolus applicator. Avoid applicators with undersized openings which may fracture the capsule shell or oversized openings which could allow the capsule to slip.

Step 2: Restrain the cattle in a pen. From outside of the pen, slowly approach the animal’s head. Gently pry open its mouth and place the applicator containing the capsule into the back of the throat. Administer the capsule as close to the esophageal opening as possible. Use caution to avoid delivery to the trachea.

Step 3: To assist passage of the capsule down the esophagus and to stimulate a swallowing reflex, stroke the surface of the tongue or the outside of the throat. Whenever possible, allow the animal to immediately have access to drinking water after administering the capsule. Watch for signs of breathing difficulty after administering the capsule. A capsule may block the airway if not properly administered, or if not swallowed by the animal. If the animal shows signs of choking or suffocating, immediately manipulate its body to dislodge the capsule. Step 4: Applicator should be cleaned and dried immediately following administration of capsule to each animal.

Please note: Do not use excessive force and perform all steps gently.
