smaXtec Classic Bolus
In contrast to the smaXtec Classic Bolus, the smaXtec Classic Bolus must be
positioned with the sensor shaft (the bottom end) at the head of the applicator.
Picture: application procedure
With the cow’s head and neck angled in an extended and straightened position you
can now administer the smaXtec pH Plus Bolus or the smaXtec Classic Bolus. The
front end of the applicator must extend beyond the base of the tongue before the
smaXtec pH Plus Bolus or the smaXtec Classic Bolus is released. Please ensure that
the cow does not eat anything for at least two hours prior to administration of the
sensor. It is preferable to administer the smaXtec pH Plus Bolus or the smaXtec
Classic Bolus in the morning before the first feed.
Warning: After insertion, the smaXtec pH Plus Bolus or the smaXtec
Classic Bolus needs to settle on the floor of the reticulum as quickly as
possible. For this reason, it is important to ensure that the fibrous
material in the rumen is not too dense, i.e. the cow should not recently
have eaten anything. It is therefore of utmost importance that your animal should
have an empty stomach when the sensor is administered. Acting in accordance with
the user instructions provided by smaXtec will ensure smooth operation of the
measurement procedure.
