1. An esophagus probe for delivery of treatment doses to domestic livestock, comprising:

  • a hook-shaped conduit having a straightened mouth insert portion, a U-shaped middle portion extending from one end of the mouth insert portion of sufficient width to conveniently allow insertion of the mouth insert portion into the mouth of a livestock animal, and a handle portion extending from the other end of the U-shaped middle portion; and

    said handle portion being adapted for fluid connection to a source of treatment dose material and extending in a generally transverse relationship to said mouth insert portion so that force applied to the handle portion advances the mouth insert portion down the esophagus of the livestock until the U-shaped middle portion contacts the mouth of the livestock preventing further penetration.
