Original Drench-Mate Stomach Pump 6.5 gallon
Product Code: DM20015
The Drench-Mate is a unique, high quality pumping system specifically designed for pumping fluids into ruminants. For the single dose system we have a 6.5 gallon bucket, a 11.5 foot poly-hose and a cam-lock fitting for easy detachment. A locking frick tube so that the hose does not slip out of the rumen while you are pumping. A red mark on the hose indicates how far it should be inserted into the rumen. Mounted on top is a hand diaphragm pump that has the capacity to drench a cow in 1-1.5 minutes. The Drench-Mate is made of hardened plastic and stainless steel hardware so it will not rust or corrode.
