BQA TIP Needle Selection Basics P
roper needle selection is impor- tant for reducing the risk of bro-
ken needles, and it makes the pro- cess of giving injections easier. Both needle length and gauge should be considered. Shorter needles (i.e. 5/8 and 3/4) make it easier to properly give subcutaneous injections. For intramuscular injections, a 1-inch long needle is suffi cient even on bulls and cows; using a longer nee- dle increases the risk of the needle bending and breaking. For thicker products, a 16-gauge needle works well. Either a 16 or 18-gauge needle is fi ne for thinner products. Avoid needles that are less than 18-gauge when giving injections to cattle. ❚
