Dosage & Administration
For intramammary infusion. The contents of one syringe should be infused into the teat canal of each quarter immediately after the last milking of the lactation.
Before infusion, the teat should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
Avoid contamination of the nozzle after removing the cap.
After infusion it is advisable to dip the teats in an antiseptic preparation specifically designed for this purpose.
After milking is complete thoroughly clean and disinfect the end of the teat (e.g. with cotton wool soaked in methylated spirit).
For short nozzle intramammary administration hold the barrel of the syringe and the base of the cap in one hand and twist off the small upper part of the cap above the indent mark (the base portion of the cap remains on the syringe) Take care not to contaminate the short exposed part of the nozzle.
Withdrawals
Milk:
- Milk for human consumption may only be taken 96 hours after calving.
- If calving occurs before 54 days after treatment, milk for human consumption may be taken after 54 days plus 96 hours after treatment, ensuring that the milk from at least 7 complete milking is discarded.
- The absence of antibiotic should be confirmed by testing before its milk is used for human consumption. This is advisable because of variation in the milking cows ability to excrete antibiotic from dry cow products.
- In cows suffering from hypocalcaemia, it may be necessary to discard milk for a longer period.
Meat:
- Animals for human consumption should not be slaughtered until 21 days after last treatment.
