Bolus Gun (Plastic)

Enables safe and effective insertion of deworming boluses. (See Levasole Sheep Bolus #888124)

Those new to the sheep and goat business may not know that one cannot stick a hand into a mouth without risking serious lacerations. And if one pushes a bolus into the edge of a adult sheep or goat mouth with your finger tips, the bolus (damaged) will quickly appear on the ground.

Therefore a bolus gun is needed to protect your fingers and ensure that the bolus is placed deep enough to ensure it is swallowed.
