Copper injection guns

Hi everyone

We are currently going through the ewes with Heptavac, footvax and copper.

The trouble is the copper is ruining our repeater guns for some reason. I got through 3 on Friday, including 2 brand new ones. It just doesn’t want to come into the barrel out of the bottle. I ended up sticking a needle in the bottles to let air in whilst dosing. Never normally have this problem!

We still have over 1000 ewes left and I don’t relish the thought of returning to a syringe to do them all....

Any suggestions or recommendations welcome.

Many thanks
