Application Procedure:
Position the smaXtec Classic Bolus SX.2 into the applicator with the sensor shaft (bottom
end) at the head. Insert the smaXtec Classic Bolus SX.2 into the applicator in such a way
that sensor shaft comes to rest at the far end of the applicator.
Picture: application procedure
With the cow’s head and neck angled in an extended and straightened position you can
now administer the smaXtec Classic Bolus SX.2. The front end of the applicator must
extend beyond the base of the tongue before the bolus is released.
Warning: After insertion, the smaXtec Classic Bolus SX.2 needs to settle on
the floor of the reticulum as quickly as possible. For this reason, it is important
to ensure that the fibrous material in the rumen is not too dense, i.e. the cow
should not recently have eaten anything.
It takes at least 30 minutes after bolus administration until first cow data will be visible in
the software.
