Project description DEENESFRITPL An automated, cloud-connected device will enable smart vaccination of livestock When used and administered correctly, vaccines can protect livestock from a plethora of common diseases. This not only protects the health and welfare of the animal, but it also enhances farm productivity and protects human health from diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans. Operator fatigue is common when vaccinating huge numbers of livestock by hand using conventional syringes, affecting the dosage given and the resulting protection afforded. The Israeli SME SyrinJector has developed a fully automated and portable syringe ‘gun’ that is cloud-connected to intelligently manage the data coming from the syringe gun in the field. The EU-funded SyrinJector project is helping the team bring this revolutionary product for mass livestock vaccination to market. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Farm animals are susceptible to different diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, just like people.Vaccination protects the welfare of livestock by preventing or reducing disease. These vaccines are licensed and producedunder strict regulatory conditions ensuring their safety, efficacy and quality. The administration of these vaccines is currentlyusing mechanical syringe with needle, an outdated method to deliver vaccines to billions of animals per year.Livestock vaccination is normally performed by hand. However, the accuracy of the operator administering the vaccinedecreases significantly after a couple of hours of automatic and repetitive job, due to the large number of animals injectedper hour. This way, up to 70% of dairy herds are inadequately vaccinated simply because of improper management,according to a study done by the Veterinary Teaching Hospital- Colorado State University. Particularly, the livestock industryrequires a higher levels of vaccination quality to keep up with the growing global demand for higher quantities along withsafe and quality products. Vaccination’s efficacy is dependent on the correct dosage being administered to every singleanimal, in order to create a high and uniform immune reaction.SyrinJector is the first smart syringe gun for the mass vaccination of livestock.The device is fully automated (no mechanicalhand trigger), portable, and works with a software for rapid, controlled and traceable mass vaccination. SyrinJector issafetyconscious(anti-stabbing and needle disinfection mechanisms),and highly accurate, making it a must for livestock farmers.SyrinJector allows high repeatability and reduces human factor and fatigue.Our solution will gradually replace the currentprocess of steel/plastic syringe guns and off-line paper certifications, creating a fully interconnected database system(Cloud) that smartly aggregates and manages the data coming from our digital syringe gun, right from the field.
