DOSATRON INTERNATIONAL at the INTERNATIONAL POULTRY EXPO, ATLANTA GA

January 26th, 2012

Dosatron is excited to be at the IPE this year and we invite you to stop by our booth to see what’s new.

Dosatron is located in Booth 5925 – B Hall and Booth 2145 – A Hall.

Booth 2145 - A Hall

Dosatron’s DM11F – 11 GPM diaphragm chemical dispenser and medicator introduces enhanced features that provide longer lasting parts, works under the toughest conditions, and is the highest quality diaphragm medicator on the market.

Dosatron’s D14 – 14 GPM line of injectors have grown into one of the most efficient units Dosatron has ever produced. The remarkable, simplified piston, along with very low maintenance has fulfilled our goals. Minimum down time is the key to efficiency and the D14 certainly fits that criteria.

With a variety of motor sizes and designs, Dosatron can meet almost any medicating need in virtually any type of livestock operation – from the largest of poultry houses to the low flow needed to medicate day-old chicks, from growers using feeder tanks to those operating in hard-water environments. Dosatrons are easy to install and maintain, so you can spend less time worrying about your equipment and more time tending to your business.

Booth 5925 - B Hall

Dosatron also goes beyond medicating to help with water line cleaning, water treatment, egg washing and sanitation of animal containment areas. We also have solutions for boot washing and sanitizing foaming applications. If you’re looking for a versatile solution that will help you get the most out of your equipment investment, then Dosatron is the perfect choice!

Pinning Dosatron to Pinterest

January 16th, 2012

Social media isn’t new to Dosatron, in fact it fits right in with Dosatron’s commitment to our customers. Facebook and Twitter have allowed for instant communication. We are able to ascertain what our customers’ needs are and implement the engineering necessary. We share contacts and products through Linkedin, photos on Flickr and videos on YouTube.

So when I read about Pinterest I did some research and was immediately drawn to the clean images posted neatly on bulletin boards. It’s a visual person’s dream website, so yesterday I decided to sign up and discovered one of the categories was Gardening. I thought this could be a perfect fit. I love to garden and working in the marketing department at Dosatron allows me to see firsthand how Dosatron’s fertilizer injectors have contributed so much to the garden and greenhouse industries. Pinterest would be a good way to share that information.

So far I have posted a picture of the 14 GPM, D14MZ2 fertilizer injector and Repinned two garden related items.

I would love to hear about your experiences with Pinterest or other social sites.

Dosatron International, Inc. – Helping Others

December 13th, 2011

Last week, Eddy Kelly, President, and Pamela Temko, CEO, spent an afternoon at the Homeless Emergency Project (HEP) in Clearwater, FL. The main reason for the trip was to deliver a donation check of $10,000. While there, they were invited to have lunch and take a full tour of the facilities. HEP provides assistance to those in need including veterans from the Vietnam war and those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Their mission is to provide the homeless and very low income individuals and families: housing, food, clothing, and support services necessary to obtain a self-sufficient life.

Eddy and Pam also adopted two families from the HEP: Adopt a Family Christmas Program. To help with the shopping for the families, HEP provided a wish list from the parents and children.

If you are interested in giving back this Holiday Season, contact Rebecca Adams, Community Relations Coordinator for HEP at 727-442-9041, ext. 135 or visit their website at http://www.ethep.org.

IVESCO’s fall Outlook magazines include two articles worth reading

November 7th, 2011

The IVESCO Outlook Poultry and Swine issues include two great articles written by Jesse McCoy, water quality division manager, IVESCO Technical Services.

The first article titled “It is Time to Get Serious about Line Cleaning” addresses the importance of line cleaning and how cleaning is two-fold. First you have to clean the pathogens from the lines as well as the build-up in the lines. This ensures that your water is clear and that the correct volume of water and nutrients is getting to your animals.

The second article, “What’s Needed to Start (or Upgrade) Your Water-Soluble Supplement and Vaccination Program,” provides the basics of what you need to get started providing your animals with the proper nutrition, medication, and vaccination programs.

Dosatron medicators are trusted by growers and integrators nationwide, providing a reliable, accurate, and easy way to medicate your livestock’s drinking water with minimal maintenance.

Let us know if the articles were beneficial to you by leaving a comment.

Supporting the Future of the Horticultural Industry

October 31st, 2011

Dosatron knows how important education is to the future of the greenhouse industry and also understands that the right tools are needed to prepare the students for the “real-world.” That is why Dosatron, over the years, has donated fertilizer injectors to university programs.

“Supporting universities is something that we feel is extremely important,” commented Lela Kelly, vice president and horticulture specialist. “We understand that some universities are struggling and we try to help when we can.”

Alicia Wells, manager of business development and membership of OFA, recently visited OSU-ATI and spoke to students about OFA and the OFA Scholars Program. While she was there she toured their greenhouses. Alicia thanked Dosatron for supporting the ATI program and the next generation of growers by saying, “I can wholeheartedly say that ATI’s program is phenomenal. It truly prepares students for a career in the greenhouse industry and Dosatron helps make that possible by supporting the program with injectors and educational working models.”

If your university studies included a Dosatron fertilizer injector we would love to hear from you. Write a comment on your experience.
