  1. Techniques Injections

  2. Why it’s important to you? K-State Research and Extension News>Television News • Death of the animal ($150-$50,000) • 50% of all injections are preformed by a Veterinarian.

  3. Where to Give Injections Intramuscular http://www.uaex.edu/Other_Areas/publications/PDF/FSA-3109.pdf

  4. This injection site lesion was a result of a 2 ml seven-way injection given to a calf at 50 days of age http://www.ca.uky.edu/agc/pubs/id/id140/01-24.pdf

  5. Based on the 2000 National Beef Quality Audit, injection-site blemishes (lesions) cost the beef industry $188 million annually. This means producers lost an average $7.05 per head per year

  6. Needles New Burred http://www.ca.uky.edu/agc/pubs/id/id140/01-24.pdf

  7. • Change needles every 10 to 15 head, or with every automatic dosing syringe refill. • • Change any needle that is bent, or becomes contaminated (manure, dirt, or chemicals), or if the needle point becomes burred. • Note: A broken needle is an emergency; it will migrate farther into the tissues. Under no circumstances should animals with broken needles be sold or sent to a packer.

  8. Steps in Administering Injections Properly • Select the right product • Read the label • Don't combine vaccines • Use transfer needles • Don't mix too many products • Keep shaking • Mark and separate syringes • Don't use disinfectants with modified live vaccines • Get air out of syringes • Restrain animals properly • Select best route of administration • Choose best site of administration • Choose the right needle • Use proper injection technique • Practice good sanitation

  9. Types of Injections http://www.boomer.org/c/p1/Ch07/Ch0704.html -Subcutaneous or SQ: Medication is injected under the skin or hide.- Intramuscular or IM: Medication is injected into the neck muscle. -Intervenes or IV: medication is injected into the vein. http://citnews.unl.edu/assuringquality/medication3.html

  10. How to Give a SQ Injection • When giving a subcutaneous injection, use the tenting method (Figure 1). Pull the skin away from the neck to create a gap between the skin and muscle. Insert the needle through the skin and into the gap (Figure 2). Make sure the needle does not go into muscle. • http://www.aces.edu/pubs/docs/A/ANR-1280/

  11. How to Give a IM Injection • Giving an intramuscular injection requires a different technique. The drug is intended to be injected into a muscle (Figure 3). Place your hand on the animal and move the skin slightly to one side. Insert the needle through the skin and into the muscle. Carefully inject the drug. When complete, remove the needle, then move your hand. By moving the skin slightly, there is less chance of the drug leaking through the injection site.
