[QUOTE="Cucumber35, post: 1476679, member: 25728"] So changing needles takes a little more time... does that mean it’s not worth it? Needles are too expensive? How is a few cents more cost prohibitive given the cost of the vaccines in the first place? Do you buy the absolute cheapest vaccine or the one that gives the best protection for what you need? My girlfriend and I can work 75 in a day. Yeah it’s a long day but we get it done. I change needles every animal, use disposable syringes and change those every dozen or so, sometimes less. Dehorners or castration knife gets tossed into a bucket of chlorhexidine solution between uses. I don’t find it’s that difficult to at least be somewhat conscious of not cross-contaminating when performing this stuff. I’m not exactly anal about it but it seems like the logical way to do it. Otherwise why even bother? [/QUOTE]
