Step by step instructions on how to drench a cow
Stand on the right-hand side of the cow
Place your left arm over the front of the cows head
With the tips of your fingers held firmly against the roof of the mouth raise the cow’s head slightly
DO NOT FORCE IT RIGHT UP
Ensure the muzzle is no higher than eye level*
Place the nozzle of the drenching bottle on the side of the mouth
Slowly pour in the drench, giving the cow time to breathe and swallow
Important facts
If the muzzle is held too high it hinders swallowing and makes the job more difficult as well as risking pneumonia from the drench going down the windpipe
If coughing occurs during administration, stop and lower the head until the coughing stops
Never drench a cow if she is down with Milk Fever
