The equine healthcare industry is witnessing a transformational shift in nutritional supplementation, driven by advanced pre-filled syringe technology. These innovative paste syringe systems are redefining how veterinarians and horse owners administer vital nutrients, medications, and supplements—combining pharmaceutical-grade precision with practical field application.
Modern precise dosing syringe for paste systems address critical challenges in equine care:
Weight-Based Accuracy: Adjustable collars enabling 50kg-1200kg dose calibration
Palatability Enhancement: Compatible with apple/molasses-flavored carriers
Waste Reduction: <2% product residue versus 25% in traditional tubes
Time Efficiency: 38-second administration versus 3+ minutes with conventional methods
Clinical Impact: 40% reduction in dosing errors among competition horses (Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2024).
Step 1: Pre-Administration Preparation
Calculate dose based on current body weight (not ideal weight)
Adjust for body condition score (1-9 scale)
Set dial a dose syringe collar to prescribed graduation
Perform visual syringe inspection for damage or contamination
Step 2: Proper Positioning
Stand at horse's shoulder facing same direction
Gently insert syringe tip into interdental space
Maintain slight upward angle toward tongue base
Critical: Avoid molar regions to prevent biting
Step 3: Controlled Dispensing
Apply steady pressure to plunger (1-2 seconds/mL)
Deposit paste on tongue's dorsal surface
Monitor swallowing reflex before continuing
Pause if horse shows resistance or anxiety
Step 4: Post-Administration Protocol
Maintain head elevation for 5-8 seconds
Offer small water reward to encourage swallowing
Record dose time and any observations
Clean syringe tip with alcohol wipe before capping
Step 5: Cross-Contamination Prevention
Follow "one horse, one syringe" principle
Exception: Only shared between pastured mates with identical needs
Disinfect between horses if must be shared (1:10 bleach solution)
Store with individual animal identification

Q: Can syringes be reused between horses?
A: Only if horses share pasture and nutritional needs—always disinfect between uses.
Q: How accurate are weight-based dosing systems?
A: ±2% accuracy when properly calibrated against scale weights.
Q: What about horses that refuse paste?
A: Our flavor-masking technology achieves 89% acceptance in resistant horses.
