:
Cows that are to be fitted with a smaXtec pH Plus Bolus or a smaXtec Classic Bolus
must have an empty stomach when the sensor is applied. This means that the cow
must not have eaten anything for at least 2 hours prior to application.
Applicator for the smaXtec pH Plus Bolus and the smaXtec Classic Bolus:
The smaXtec pH Plus Bolus or the smaXtec Classic Bolus can be inserted into the
animal’s maw using an applicator. It is recommended that you use a smaXtec
applicator. This can be ordered from your distributor or directly from smaXtec.
Application Procedure:
smaXtec pH Plus Bolus
Position the smaXtec pH Plus Bolus into the applicator
with the sensor tip at the head. Insert the smaXtec pH
Plus Bolus into the applicator in such a way that
sensor tip comes to rest at the far end of the
applicator. Please ensure that the push rod of the
applicator is kept flat – the push rod should not press
directly on the sensor tip. This ensures that the
smaXtec pH Plus Bolus is positioned sensor tip first in
the cow’s stomach.
