- Mix the fluid or electrolyte solution as directed by the product instructions or your vet.
- Fill the bag to the required volume using the 0.5 litre graduations and allow fluid to run to the end of the tube to clear air.
- Restrain the calf safely with the head and neck held straight, and have the calf standing or sitting up.
- Pass the probe carefully and slowly, following the technique you have been trained in, and confirm correct placement before releasing any fluid.
- Raise the bag and allow the fluid to flow under gravity, watching the calf throughout.
- Kink or close the tube before withdrawing it slowly, then rinse and wash the set straight away and hang it to dry.
If you have not been trained in stomach tubing, ask your vet or an experienced stockperson to show you before using this set. You can browse more calf and livestock equipment in our Agrihealth collection.
