Feeding device for animals and birds uses flexible tube and end insert connection for securing to food syringe

摘要

The device comprises a flexible tube (1) made from moulded rubber with a stainless steel insert (2) fitted to one end. The insert is screwed onto a syringe containing food such as thick cereal. The flexible end of the tube is inserted into the oesophagus of the bird or animal to enable the food to be introduced into the crop or stomach directly. The tube dimensions are varied to suit the application but are typically 110 mm long by 8 mm wide.
