Best Reusable Syringe for Cattle and Other Livestock

Repeater Syringes for Cattle

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. 

What Is a Reusable/Repeater Syringe?

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:

  • The HSW MULTI-MATIC® is ideal for high-volume dosing in cattle, horses, and sheep.
  • The HSW ECO-MATIC® offers a more economical solution for everyday veterinary use.
  • The Henke-Ject® TBC is a specialized option for tuberculin testing in cattle and other livestock.

Key Applications for Reusable Syringes in Livestock

Reusable syringes are essential tools for administering:

  • Oxytocin – to induce labor, evacuate uterine debris, and stimulate milk let-down.
  • Vaccines – to protect against respiratory, reproductive, and clostridial diseases.
  • Antibiotics and Anti-inflammatories – for treating infections and managing herd health.
  • Vitamins and Supplements – to boost nutritional levels in large-scale herds.
  • Dewormers – critical for routine herd parasite control.

Each type of medication or supplement requires precise dosing, especially when treating hundreds or thousands of animals in a single session.

Why Ergonomics and Construction Matter

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.

HSW MULTI-MATIC®: The Ultimate Repeater Syringe for High-Volume Herd Use

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.

Key Features:

  • Adjustable Dosage Control: Allows for precise, metered dosing (0.5ml increments up to 2.5ml on the 25ml model; 1ml increments up to 5ml on the 50ml model).
  • Durable Construction: Made from pressure-cast aluminum and medical-grade polycarbonate, resistant to UV rays and compatible with most medications.
  • Ergonomic Handling: Lightweight and easy to grip for reduced hand fatigue during high-volume injections.
  • Autoclavable and Easy to Clean: Fully autoclavable up to 134°C/273°F; simple design with minimal spare parts required.

Real-World Feedback:

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.”

HSW ECO-MATIC®: Cost-Effective Precision for Routine Veterinary Work

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.

Key Features:

  • Manual Operation with Auto-Fill Functionality: Enables repetitive injections without refilling after each shot.
  • Economic Design: Offers a high level of performance at a budget-friendly price.
  • Durable Plastic Construction: Built from high-quality materials for longevity and dependable use.
  • Versatile Applications: Suitable for vaccines, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and vitamin injections.

The ECO-MATIC® is especially useful for smaller-scale farms or for professionals seeking to keep costs down without sacrificing performance.

Specialized Solutions for Targeted Applications

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.

Making the Right Choice for Your Herd

When selecting a reusable syringe for cattle, horses, sheep, or other ruminants, consider the following:

  • Species and Age of the Animal: Larger livestock may benefit from high-volume syringes like the MULTI-MATIC®.
  • Application Type: For mass vaccinations or herd-wide vitamin supplementation, automatic repeater syringes reduce fatigue and improve consistency.
  • Cleaning and Maintenance: Choose models that are easy to sterilize and designed with longevity in mind.
