It is intended for farmers, stock keepers and smallholders who tube feed calves, lambs or other young and weak livestock and want a second probe on hand when the original is worn, damaged or being cleaned.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause the probe is rigid rather than flexible, it holds its shape in use and supports controlled, steady placement. It fits the Bovivet stomach feeder directly in place of the existing probe, so there is no adapting or improvising at the point of need.
