Discover drench products to safely treat calcium deficiency and prevent the lack of essential nutrients in your cattle.
Description
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.

Testimonials
“After meeting the team from Drench-Mate at expo in 2019 and receiving samples of products, they have completely changed our post calving cow care! Since using the new drench and drench bucket our cows bounce back after calving so much faster. We also use the drench product on our sick cows and see remarkable recovery on those cows. We can’t thank the Drench-Mate team enough for their help and amazing products!”

“The Drench-Mate products that I use are the best! I have had a Drench-Mate I that I have been using for 10 years and I give my fresh cows the Drench-Mate Drink. Love that stuff! Thanks to my friends at Hilltop Dairy in Wayland, Iowa for leading me to some of these products at the 2019 World Dairy Expo.”

“The Drench Mate I is a key part to our daily protocols for herd health. We’ve been using ours over the last 4 years. It is simple to use and clean. Replacement parts are easy to order and arrive quickly.”

We are excited to have the Drench-Mate I and Drench on hand now. We lost an Akaushi steer the other day and if we would have had a Drench-Mate I we could have saved him.
We’ve used the Drench-Mate I on another farm we managed in Michigan and it literally was a lifesaver! Appreciate your products and quick shipping service.
