A filler nozzle for packaging, in particular for use in artificial
insemination, has a plastics material body with a male or female conical
part that partly surrounds a capillary tube made from stainless steel or a
plastics material. The filler nozzle is particularly suitable for filling
straws with seminal liquid. It prevents pollution of the closing area of
the straw. It is also compatible with automatic placement and with manual
handling.
