AUTOMATED PRECISION DOSING INSTRUMENT DISPENSES PHARMACEUTICALS ON AN INDIVIDUAL ANIMAL WEIGHT-DEPENDENT DOSAGE BASIS

AUTO-DOSE® is a precision management tool that loads and administers liquid pharmaceutical products to beef animals on an individual animal, weight-dependent dosage basis. Used solely in conjunction with the DRUG-TRAC® Animal Health System, ATUO-DOSE® is an integral health management tool which process verifies and optimizes health treatment products and animal performance.

Performance Management

  • Individual weight based treatments are dispensed versus a group average weight basis.
  • Treated animals receive optimum efficacious doses eliminating under and overdosing.
  • Health performance is optimized as users dose the prescribed amount of "drug to the bug," each time.
  • Animal performance is optimized with precision dosing at the proper rate.
  • Automated systems driving the dosing process yield increased accuracy and a continuously reliable process.
  • The DRUG-TRAC®/AUTO-DOSE® System combination provides total process verification and certification on an individual animal basis including diagnosis, treatment, product, dose, dated, doctor, inventory depletion, treatment response, and other information.


Best Practices & Quality Assurance

  • Residue prevention is maintained.
  • Minimum and maximum dosages cannot be exceeded.
  • Less risk of organisms building drug resistance.
  • Avoids dosing high volumes in one location.
  • Chute-side data entry reduces errors.

Hardware

  • DRUG-TRAC® Animal Health System
  • Electronic scales and air supply required
  • Controller configurations for 1 to 16 heads
  • 12 ml or 50 ml dosing cylinders
  • Includes injectors, drenchers, pour-ons, or hooks

How the Systems Work

DRUG-TRAC® automatically reads the electronic scale and determines the animal’s weight. A programmed, prescribed animal therapy contains the weight-dependent dosage specification and multiplies the dose by the weight. DRUG-TRAC® communicates with AUTO-DOSE® and automatically loads the dispensing syringes. Depressing the air-driven trigger dispenses the pharmaceutical to the intended location. The treatment is accurately recorded in DRUG-TRAC® with applicable charges assigned to that animal.

A Unique System

No other animal health system combines the unique features of automatic weight dependent dosage calculations, automated medicine delivery, and automatic safe-to-ship calculations together in one integrated package. The patented DRUG-TRAC® System from Micro Beef Technologies has been the standard computerized animal health system in the United States beef industry since its inception in 1986. The patented Phillips Auto Dose Dosing System has been the only system of its kind since it was introduced by NJ Phillips in Australia.
