In farm and livestock management, Drenching, refers to a process of administering a drug or a medicine to an animal for its overall well-being. The intake of the drug/medicine treatment is done orally with the help of Drenching Guns. This treatment is appropriate for not only ovine (sheep) and caprine (goat) but also other farm animals such as cows, dogs, horses, calfs and others.

Although there may exist various types of drenches in the market, catering to different set of needs, the most common of them are Broad Spectrum Drenches and Narrow Spectrum Drenches. While Broad Spectrum Drenches focus on a wide range of treatment, the Narrow Spectrum Drenches target a restricted range of internal parasite types.
