Cattle farming

Since 1974, DOSATRON has been helping to improve the performance of your cattle farm by allowing you to control the dosing of:

veterinary treatments (curative or metaphylactic),
zootechnical additives (probiotics, minerals, vitamins, etc.),
disinfectants used in dairy hygiene to ensure the biosecurity.

We work closely with a large number of farms, pharmaceutical laboratories and biocide manufacturers, institutes, water treatment specialists and equipment manufacturers/installers. We also support our partners from all over the world to hold regular technical seminars and develop specialised tools.

Treatment via drinking water have long been proven to be flexible, fast, safe and effective.

Current developments in legislation, the continuous improvement in the solubility of treatments (oral powders and liquids), the development of new zootechnical additives (probiotics, minerals, etc.) and the growing diversity of products & techniques for water disinfection and hygiene in the dairy sector all demonstrate the importance of dosing quality.
