An 18-gauge veterinary vaccination needle is a thicker, wide-bore needle commonly used for livestock and large animals. It allows for the rapid flow of high-viscosity medications, oil-based suspensions, and vaccines. In veterinary practice, it is prized for durability and preventing clogs.

Specs & features.
The 18G needle is the primary choice for administering viscous, oil-based vaccines and dense suspensions that would clog finer needles. In large animal practice, it bridges the gap between ultra-heavy livestock needles (such as 16G) and fragile companion animal needles (22G–25G). It is used for fast-paced mass vaccination campaigns, routine livestock injections, and administering dense vitamin or mineral supplements.
No specifications have been listed.
- Optimal Flow Rate: The wide bore accommodates thicker, heavier, or oil-based vaccines and medications without causing the administrator to push forcefully on the syringe plunger.
- High Durability: These needles are robust enough to withstand the thick, tough hides of large animals (e.g., cattle, buffalo, horses) without easily snapping or dulling.
- Dual Administration: Depending on the selected length, they are suitable for both intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SQ) injections.
