The Pulsator V is the most advanced electronic bull ejaculator available, allowing users to collect bull semen in a safe and controlled environment. Manufactured by Lane Manufacturing & distributed by MerlinVet, features include:
- Improved battery and charging
- Smoother signal to the bull
- State of the art electronics

The newest in bull probe technology, the two-electrode probe delivers a smoother signal to the bull and is a more durable construction than the older three-electrode probe. All two-electrode probes are weighted, gentle and efficient, while the shielding of the electrodes reduces back arching, hind limb extension & vocalisation. The nose now has additional weight, helping the probe to sit securely in the ‘sweet spot’ area. It’s also easier to clean, enhancing biosecurity and has improved water resistance.
