Choosing the right syringe for livestock injections isn’t just about convenience; it’s about ensuring animal safety, minimizing waste, and increasing operational efficiency. For veterinarians and farmers who routinely care for cattle, horses, sheep, and other ruminants, reusable syringes–also known as repeater syringes–like the HSW MULTI-MATIC® and HSW ECO-MATIC® from Air-Tite Products provide industry-leading durability, accuracy, and ease of use.
Below, we’ll outline why these syringes are the top choices for livestock professionals, explain when and how they’re used, and share real-world feedback from those using them on the farm.
A reusable syringe is a hand-held device that allows for automatic, multi-dose application of medications such as vaccines, antibiotics, oxytocin, and vitamins. Unlike disposable syringes, reusable options are designed for repeat use, can be sterilized between applications, and provide adjustable dosing, making them ideal for herd management in cattle and other livestock.
Different syringes are designed with specific applications or animals in mind. For example:
Reusable syringes are essential tools for administering:
Each type of medication or supplement requires precise dosing, especially when treating hundreds or thousands of animals in a single session.
Veterinarians and livestock handlers often perform dozens or hundreds of injections in a single day. That’s why features like ergonomic handling, easy dose adjustment, and durable materials are critical.
According to Dr. Christine Long, Veterinarian and Owner of Pineview Veterinary Hospital, “A repeater syringe should feature high-volume capacity with accurate dosing and be easy to sterilize to minimize contamination and improve efficiency.”
Let’s take a closer look at the top-performing syringe models from Air-Tite Products.
The HSW MULTI-MATIC® is an automatic repeater syringe engineered in Germany for intensive veterinary use. It’s especially well-suited for cattle, horses, sheep, and other ruminants that require mass treatment protocols.
Jorge Jiménez, a seasoned cattle farmer, says:
“It’s an excellent tool for vaccines, antibiotics, dewormer, vitamins, and more. I’ve seen it used on 1,200 animals. Just be sure to clean the O-ring and barrel with soap and water. Having a spare barrel and O-ring is also a smart backup.”
Sam Lindamood of Clearview Farms adds:
“The HSW Multi-Matic® from Air-Tite Products is a superior tool—essential in the productivity of our long-time family-owned beef cattle farm. It makes administering vaccines simple, easy, and safe.”
If you’re looking for a reusable syringe that balances performance and value, the HSW ECO-MATIC® is a reliable, manually operated solution ideal for everyday use in cattle, sheep, and equine healthcare.
The ECO-MATIC® is especially useful for smaller-scale farms or for professionals seeking to keep costs down without sacrificing performance.
Certain livestock tasks require unique solutions. For example, the Henke-Ject® TBC syringe is a purpose-built tool for tuberculin testing in cattle, offering veterinarians and regulatory officials the accuracy and control needed for this sensitive diagnostic process.
