Proper storage and handling of implants are important in achieving maximum weights. Follow these guidelines to get the best results. 1. Open the implant package at least 30 mins before processing. Store open cartridges in a plastic container. 2. Make sure the implanting site is clean and dry! Use a wire brush or scraper to remove mud, dirt and manure. Disinfect with chlorhexidine solution and scrape or dry. 3. Keep trays, sponges, rollers and implant guns clean. Disinfect the needle between implanting each animal. 4. Keep needles sharp and replace as needed. 5. Protect implants from dirt, dust and manure during processing. Store open cartridges in a sealed plastic bag or container to avoid contamination between processing. |
