There is almost always a reaction from the animal when the injection occurs. It\u2019s bad enough when using a new needle, but it\u2019s a common industry practice in almost every farm around the world to reuse needles.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the pictures below which shows a new needle on the left and a needle that has given 10 injections on the right. Ouch!<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acushot.ca\/vets\/wp-content\/uploads\/needles_429x169.png\" alt=\"Needle tips\" width=\"429\" height=\"169\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When the animal is injected with jagged, reused needles, the stress of the injection reduces its desire to eat and increases the chances of an immunological challenge; both of which can cause a setback in the daily growth rate of the animal.<\/p>\n<p>Although little research has been done on the economic impact of setback cost when using needles, all industry leaders recognize this as an issue. Conservative estimates calculate a decreased growth rate of 1 day per injection. With many animals receiving multiple injections, it\u2019s not hard to see how the numbers add up.<\/p>\n<p>Decreasing the stress of injections to animals was a key reason for the development of AcuShot\u2019s innovative second generation <strong>Needle-Free<\/strong> technology. Replacing needle use with AcuShot\u2019s <strong>Needle Free<\/strong> technology <strong>drastically reduces the setback to the animal\u2019s growth rate<\/strong>. Reduction of setback costs alone can help pay for an AcuShot Needle-Free device within one year on an average size farm.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acushot.ca\/vets\/support\/\">View actual on farm injection videos<\/a> at and see for yourself how safe our device really is.
