Israeli Animal Syringe Firm Unveils New Products For Fish Industry

A leading Israeli provider of veterinary syringes has unveiled two new automatic products it says will address specific needs of the fish industry.

Petah Tikva-based ThaMa-Vet’s metal, fixed-dosage syringes allow for fast, precise vaccination of fish and are already in use by a number of vaccine companies, proving to be highly dependable in vaccinating millions of fish.

The single barrel ThaMa 405 is a fixed dosage syringe used for mass treatment of fish. It comes with features needed for wet environment vaccinations, is easy to assemble and can be used repeatedly.

The double-barrelled ThaMa 422 is a fixed dosage syringe that can administer two different vaccines in two different dosages at once with just one needle.

“The aquaculture industry is developing rapidly and is expected to double in size over the next decade,” said ThaMa-Vet CEO Udi Nechmad. 

“We have been approached by fish growers, who express their frustration with the lack of a reliable, durable and easy to handle fish syringe in the market,” he said. 

“Recognizing the complexity of vaccinating fish, we developed the new syringes –– emphasizing the need for micro-dosage –– which are lightweight, user friendly and allow precise dosage administration, making the vaccination process significantly smoother for massive quantities of fish.”
