Dial Up Accuracy of Livestock Water Treatment and Medication Delivery
April 01, 2025
The design of a medication dosing system impacts how well and for how long the system remains accurate. For example, an electronic proportional additive pump, such as the Select Doser™ product line from Genesis Instruments, is designed for long-term, consistent performance, while the accuracy of a passive or water-powered pump is more likely to be degraded by the water powering it.
Here are four ways the Select Doser™ saves time and money on livestock and poultry operations compared to passive or water-powered medication dosers.
Accuracy
The Select Doser™ is guaranteed to provide at least 95% accuracy to prevent under- or over-dosing animals. It continuously measures flow through a livestock watering system in real time to ensure medications, vaccines, vitamins, acidifiers or sanitizers are delivered at the correct ratio. This accuracy supports animal health and can save money by minimizing waste.
Low Maintenance
The Select Doser™ is designed to be low maintenance and long lasting. Unlike water-powered dosers, the electronic Select Doser™ has an external pump tube to prevent wear and tear on pumps and seals, which is a cause for issues with most water-powered dosers. Eliminating corrosion and damage to pumps and seals ensures functionality and eliminates the time and hassle of replacing parts. To mitigate these issues, replacing the external pump tube will help keep the system running smoothly.
Time Savings
The Select Doser™ eliminates the task of premixing with its 15 pre-set ratios from 1:10 to 1:100,000, as well as the option to deliver product in parts per million (PPM.) The on-screen menu allows the operator to change ratios easily. This flexibility saves time and minimizes the potential for error as the product can be delivered directly from the stock container into the water line.
Useful Information
The on-screen menu allows the operator to easily change ratios and monitor current water flow and total water consumption. Changes in water consumption could indicate a health problem in livestock or poultry operations.
Choosing the right Select Doser™
The Select Doser™ product line from Genesis Instruments is a practical choice for swine, poultry or dairy operations that prioritize accuracy of medication or sanitizer delivery. The components are the main pump / control box unit, power supply, a flow sensor assembly and connections to water lines.
The product line includes three pumps. MAI Animal Health and Genesis Instruments offer custom programming and support to ensure the right fit for every production operation.
