How To Implant

Step 1 Loading The Applicator

Load the applicator following the directions outlined in the instruction manual accompanying each applicator. When using metal revolver style applicator, use orange adapter kit.

Additional information for the individual applicator user guides can be found at: www.growwithsynovex.com.

Step 2 Restraint

The animal must be confined in a restraint mechanism (squeeze chute or head gate). The implant site on the back of the ear should be prepared by scrubbing with a firm bristled brush that has been soaked in a germicidal solution.

Note: If implanting horned cattle, greater safety is provided when the head is controlled by the use of a bull lead (nose tongs).

Step 3 Implant Site

Divide the ear into three imaginary sections as illustrated. The implanted pellets should be deposited in the center one-third of the ear as shown. To accomplish this, the applicator needle should be inserted in the outer one-third of the ear as indicated by the “X” in the illustration. Implanting too close to the head may cause abnormal sexual behavior. Care should be taken to avoid severing the major arteries of the ear.

Step 4 Insert Needle

Grasp the ear with one hand. Holding the applicator firmly with the other hand, penetrate the skin at the point shown by the “X”. Thrust the needle under the skin taking care not to penetrate the cartilage. Ease the applicator forward (toward the base of the ear) until the full needle length is beneath the skin.

Step 5 Pellet Implantation

When the needle is completely inserted, activate the instrument by squeezing the trigger completely. Refer to instructions for individual applicator.

Step 6 Inspection

Check the implant site. If properly administered, the implants should lie in a straight line under the skin. Re-cock the applicator. Disinfect the applicator needle in a germicidal solution. The applicator is now ready to implant the next animal.
