Treating animals via drinking water with a dosing pump is simple, quick, flexible and highly effective in addressing various poultry health issues.

Treating animals via drinking water with a dosing pump is a simple, quick and extremely effective method (sick animals always tend to drink more than they eat in order to compensate for dehydration, body temperature or stress).
The poultry water medication will limit errors and risks of cross-contamination compared with other administration techniques.
It can be used to rapidly treat a selected group of animals when installed in poultry barns with multi water circuits (Male/female or broiler houses with several floors).
It also allows maximum flexibility in terms of dosage and duration of the treatment (curative or metaphylactic antibiotics*, coccidiostats, wormers, painkillers, anti-inflammatories etc.).
Moreover, administering treatments via drinking water typically results in a substantial decrease in antibiotic use compared to medication given through feed. In an increasing number of nations, preventive medication delivered through feed has almost vanished or is now banned, as seen in Europe since 2022.
*Always respect your veterinary prescription and local legislation regarding authorized veterinary medicines & vaccines.
Dosatron proportional pumps guarantee the correct medicine dosing, regardless of the permanent variations in water pressure and water flow rate (due to animal random drinking behavior).
Our non-electric, self-priming pumps also work with gravity pressure (header tanks).
Dosatron pumps can achieve high dosing percentages to ensure that the oral powders are properly dissolved in the stock solution.
They have a dosage capability of up to 4%, 5% or 10% to obtain a larger volume of stock solution thus improving the pre-dilution of the less soluble medicines.
Dosatron Units guarantee that the mixture of water and medicine stays consistent and uniform. This is due to the high-quality dynamic mixing in the pump motor (The Dosatron D25AL range, for example, offers excellent in-line dosing homogeneity).
These different performances are mandatory to ensure that the medication solution is evenly distributed to each drinker, and that animals have equal access to the right amount of medication at all times.
Bearing in mind that :
The dosing pumps can be run empty (without additives) without any risk of damage. They are also quick & easy to maintain. Dosatron works closely with our partners from all over the world to hold regular technical seminars and develop specialized tools (medication calculators for PCs, Smartphones and tablets, available in 15 languages, training materials on medication techniques, etc.).
*Dosatron performance in accordance with the European Medicine Agency’s 2020 recommendations (EMA/CVMP/508559/2019 - Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use - ANNEX II)
