The goal of this lab is to gain background and technical skills regarding syringes and veterinary injections. Administration of a drug or vaccine is a routine component of herd health management for cattle. While medications can be given orally (by mouth) or topically (on top of the skin), very often a medication requires the use of a syringe. Syringes can be used to inject the medication intramuscularly (into the muscle), subcutaneously (under the skin), intravenously (into a vein), or intradermally (between the layers of the skin). Students will apply these principles in the classroom.
