Boehringer Ingelheim and Ivesco Technical Services have developed a peristaltic pump specifically designed to administer oral vaccines for six hours.

According to Jess McCoy, water quality manager with Ivesco, the pump makes an easy process even easier by allowing for a consistent release of solution into a water line over a set period of time.  McCoy says it eliminates the need to pre-measure stock solution and assures vaccination accuracy. 

Brownfield visited with McCoy at the World Pork Expo trade show.
