[QUOTE="sunnyblueskies, post: 1824973, member: 39112"] Hey guys, it's not a question about types of vaccines, but about the tools you use to administer. Processed calves and cows today, using new to me auto load syringe guns. Allflex to be specific. One has the bottle mounted directly on top of the barrel and administers 2 to 5 cc's at a time when the handle is pressed, the other has the bottle attached to a clear line which is then attached to the single dose gun, again, something like 2 to 5 cc's. The idea is all great, but I'm having a hell of a time keeping air out of the barrel. With the bottle direct mount it's tough to get the gun loaded without air in it. No matter in which angle I hold the whole contraption. Yes, bottle upside down up top, needle end of the gun raised in a 45 degree or so. Can't ever get the air completely out. With the other one it's easier to get the air out because it's gravity fed through a longer clear line and you can hold the syringe gun completely upside down to get the air out. If you hold the bottle mounted gun upside down you are drawing in air from the bottle, because you know gravity of the fluid and all that. Another downside I found on the syringe guns with the long 'line feed' attached is too much leakage where the line attaches to the gun handle. What kind of problems did you run into with these auto load/feed syringe guns and how did you solve those problems? Any little tricks you like to share on how to make better use out of these little syringe auto loaders? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
