The ergonomic structure guarantees a secure grip even in difficult working conditions and allows practical use thanks to the clear and easily readable digital display. The device ensures a quick and reliable temperature reading with a minimum margin of error, making it ideal for both timely diagnoses and periodic monitoring, intervening promptly in the event of significant changes in the animals' vital parameters. The ease of use allows anyone to carry out measurements, without the need for advanced technical knowledge.
This digital thermometer stands out for its long battery life thanks to low-consumption batteries and an automatic shut-off system that allows for energy savings. Its design is waterproof and easy to clean, minimizing the risk of contamination between one animal and another, thus ensuring hygiene and operational safety. It is commonly used both on farms and by veterinary doctors for the monitoring of feverish states, infections, or simply for a routine check of the health conditions of livestock or sports animals. The product is supplied in protective packaging to facilitate transport and guarantee its integrity even in environments subject to dust and shocks.
Therapeutic Indications
The Digital Electronic Thermometer for Large Animals is intended for the rapid and effective detection of body temperature in large animals such as cattle, horses, sheep and pigs. Thanks to its high precision, it can be used in the early diagnosis of feverish states, symptoms of infections or metabolic crises, being particularly useful in the management of infectious diseases and in the prevention of the spread of pathologies among animals. It can be integrated into the prevention and health screening routines of farms, allowing timely recognition of any temperature increases associated with stress, bacterial or viral infections, trauma or other pathological conditions that require operator intervention. The thermometer obviously also supports post-operative management and monitoring following veterinary treatments, ensuring reliable and timely recording of thermal parameters.
In addition to the timely detection of fevers and health status during epidemics or veterinary emergency situations, the instrument is also used in preventive checks before competitions, transport and animal handling procedures. This allows us to reduce the risks associated with the spread of diseases and improve the general well-being of animals raised in groups, allowing for more accurate medical checks on each individual member of the herd.
Composition
Main components: The Digital Electronic Thermometer for Large Animals is made up of an external structure in plastic material resistant to impacts and chemical agents normally present in livestock environments. The probe, made of medical stainless steel, guarantees durability, ease of insertion and safety for the animal, facilitating disinfection with each use. The device is equipped with a large LCD digital display that allows immediate reading of the temperature, even in low or bright light conditions.
The internal electronic system is calibrated to maintain precision even after numerous uses and the circuit is protected against liquids, dust and environmental impurities, thus ensuring effective and prolonged operation over time. The thermometer is powered by one or more long-life alkaline batteries that are removable and easily replaceable. Everything is offered in a package with detailed instructions for the safe use and maintenance of all electronic and mechanical components over time.
Contraindications
Do not use the Digital Electronic Thermometer for Large Animals on subjects with open lesions or obvious infections in the area where the probe must be introduced, in order to avoid discomfort or risks of cross-infection between animals. In the case of particularly aggressive or agitated animals, the measurement must be carried out by expert personnel, in order to prevent damage to the instrument and trauma to the operators or the animals themselves.
Do not use in the presence of materials or substances that could damage the probe such as corrosive chemicals or detergents that are not compatible with medical grade stainless steel. Avoid use in extremely humid environments or where the ambient temperature is much above or below the operating temperature recommended by the manufacturer, so as not to compromise the reliability of the measurements and the safety of the device.
Safety of the drug for the species
The safety of use of the Digital Electronic Thermometer for Large Animals is guaranteed by the construction features which prevent the risk of causing injury to the animal during temperature measurement. The choice of biocompatible materials and the ergonomic shape of the probe allow you to avoid trauma, redness or skin reactions, even following frequent use. The absence of toxic or allergenic components ensures full compatibility with all categories of farm and sports animals.
The device can also be used in young or elderly subjects thanks to the delicacy and precision of the probe, minimizing discomfort during the entire procedure. It is also important to ensure that each operation is carried out following hygiene guidelines, disinfecting the probe at each change to prevent the passage of pathogens between different animals and reduce the risk of nosocomial infections.
Precautions
Before and after each use, it is essential to carefully sanitize the thermometer probe, using disinfectants compatible with medical stainless steel, so as to prevent bacterial or viral contamination among animals. It is recommended to avoid using the instrument on multiple subjects consecutively without intermediate cleaning. When measuring temperature, ensure that the animal is adequately restrained to prevent sudden movements that could cause injury or breakage of the device.
Never leave the thermometer unattended in animal housing environments to avoid possible chewing or accidental ingestion of parts of the instrument by animals. The device should be stored in a clean, dry place and inspected regularly for any damage or wear to the probe and display. In case of malfunction, contact authorized technical personnel to avoid risks of electric shock or incorrect measurements.
Method of administration
The Digital Electronic Thermometer for Large Animals must be turned on via the start button located on one of the sides of the main body. Before measurement, the probe must be disinfected and, if necessary, lubricated to facilitate insertion. The measurement is carried out by positioning the probe in the animal's rectum, waiting a few seconds until the value on the display stabilizes.
The result is clearly shown through digital numbers. Once the reading is complete, gently remove the device, clean it again and turn it off to preserve battery life. It is advisable to note down the values obtained for a correct assessment of the animal's state of health over time.
Treatment program
The frequency of use of the thermometer must be established based on the monitoring needs of the farm or according to the veterinarian's indications: in large healthy animals, at least one regular weekly measurement is recommended, increasing the frequency in the event of the presence of symptoms, ongoing treatments, periods of post-operative convalescence, or during phases of stress, transport and sudden changes in the environment. In the presence of pathological conditions at risk of fever or infection, daily monitoring may become necessary for timely intervention.
The use of the thermometer can be an integral part of routine checks during housing practices, birth management, weaning and other sensitive moments of animal management, supporting the veterinarian in the early identification of any health problems.
Target species
This device is specifically designed for use on large animals, including cattle, horses, sheep, pigs and other large farm animals. It can be used both in veterinary facilities and in breeding and farms where continuous and precise control of body temperature is necessary for diagnostic, preventive or post-therapy monitoring purposes.
