Rehydration Saves Lives – Delivering fluids directly to the rumen of cows, sheep and goats can be a life-saver. The SELEKT System enables one person unaided to deliver 20 litres of fluid into the rumen of an adult cow in less than two minutes.
What is the Selekt Drencher?
The Selekt Drencher is the purpose-built tubing and gag assembly that partners with the market-leading Selekt Pump to administer large-volume oral fluids to adult cattle quickly and safely. It forms part of the Selekt System, trusted worldwide for emergency and post-calving rehydration.
Key benefits
Fast, one-person operation – delivers 20 L electrolyte or nutritional fluid into the rumen in less than two minutes, getting cows back on their feet sooner.
Animal safety first – smooth, food-grade hose and rounded stainless-steel tip minimise oesophageal trauma, while the supplied plastic gag prevents biting and protects teeth.
Operator control – ergonomic nose tong guides placement; clear tubing lets you confirm flow.
Fully serviceable – every component, including the hose & tip, is replaceable to maximise working life and biosecurity.
Versatile system – compatible with all Selekt oral formulas (Antacid, Fresh Cow 500, Restore, etc.) and most veterinary-prepared electrolytes.
