We have put together some top tips for keeping your SELEKT Pump-Drencher in good working order.

  • Attend one of our SELEKT pump servicing clinics

    At the beginning of the year, make sure you speak to your veterinary practice and get your vet to organise a SELEKT pump servicing clinic. This is where your regional Nimrod Territory Manager can service and repair your SELEKT Pump.

  • Smooth the rough edges of the gag part of the SELEKT Drencher once a month

    The gag protects the hose and tip of the SELEKT Drencher and the cow will bite it and make it rough. Once a month use a medium-grade sandpaper to smooth the rough edges of the gag.  This makes it easier to keep clean and more comfortable for the cow.

  • Always make sure you pull the hose back through the gag before taking the gag out of the cow’s mouth

    The hose is flexible and has been carefully selected to be comfortable for the cow. You should always make sure you pull the hose right back through the gag before taking the gag out of the cow’s mouth. If the cow just catches the hose and tip, use a pair of long-nosed pliers to gently squeeze the hose back into shape.

  • Wash the SELEKT Pump-Drencher after each use

    After using the SELEKT Pump-Drencher, wash it in warm soapy water and then disinfect it with hypochlorous acid. Do not use dairy hypochorite which contains sodium hydroxide and can damage the equipment.
