Bovine injections protect cattle from diseases that can damage their health and their owner’s finances. That’s why it’s important for agriculture students to understand proper technique. Our Bovine Injection Simulator can help them do just that! Read on to discover the engaging features this unique simulator has to offer.
Bovine Injections Practice
This unique educational tool features a life-size bovine head and neck for students to practice jugular, intramuscular, and subcutaneous bovine injections and withdrawals. This learning aid even has a foot pump with a fluid system to simulate a jugular pulse! Students can study the training cover on the neck to see where the injections go before hands-on practice.
Additional Skills Practice
Bovine injections aren’t the only skills students can practice with this simulator. They can also practice IV administration, ear tagging, and growth implant placement. The simulator comes with 10 pairs of ears that can withstand 5-7 injections and 8-10 tags each.
Standards-Based Curriculum
Incorporate this simulator’s included curriculum for a complete experience! The curriculum includes two lessons that introduce bovine injections and explain bovine growth implants and ear tagging. It features two to three hours of teaching time, but you can pull a specific lesson or activity to incorporate into your current lesson plan as well.

Career Preparation
This simulator is great for classes such as general agriculture and animal science as well as introductory agriculture classes. It can help prepare students for a career as a veterinarian, dairy/cattle/livestock farmer, rancher, and more!
