Video: When and how to treat a beef animal using remote drug delivery
Whether you use a syringe or a remote drug delivery device (RDDD) when treating a beef animal, proper injection technique is important. RDDDs can pose a challenge to achieving treatment best practices. However, every effort must be made to ensure human, animal and food safety are top priority.
RDDDs offer beef cattle producers an option to administer drugs in cases where traditional delivery is not possible, such as remote locations without handling facilities or when dealing with difficult animals. Producers choosing to use RDDDs should have appropriate training, technique and drug selection in consultation with a veterinarian.
