German vaccination experts of Henke Sass-Wolf introduced a pneumatic vaccination device for day-old chicks at VIV Europe 2014.
The device, especially useful for hatcheries, is a good combination of veterinary engineering. It allows the injection of two different vaccines and it is easy to adjust for different volumes, e.g. 0.1 ml, 0.2 ml, 0.25 ml and 0.5 ml in one syringe.
Cleaning of the device is easy as the sensitive parts of the vaccinator are situated in the lower parts of the device – and are sealed as well.
The machine achieves up to 3,000 to 4,000 injections per hour.
