Antibacterial Soluble Powder for E. Coli in Livestock

Product Description

NeoMed 325 Soluble Powder is an FDA-approved prescription antibacterial powder containing neomycin sulfate. It is indicated for treating and controlling colibacillosis caused by E. coli in cattle, swine, sheep, and goats, and for reducing E. coli-related mortality in growing turkeys.

• Simple Water-Based Administration: Dissolves easily in drinking water, making herd-level treatment straightforward without the need for individual injections or dosing.

• Approved Across Multiple Species: Cleared for use in cattle, swine, sheep, goats, and turkeys, making it a practical choice for mixed-species livestock operations.

How to Use

NeoMed 325 Soluble Powder is a prescription-only medication. Federal law restricts this product to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian, and a valid prescription is required to purchase it.

Disclaimer: Dosage and administration of this medication must be determined by a licensed veterinarian. Always consult your veterinarian before administering or adjusting any prescription medication for your pet.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Consult Vet if No Improvement: Lack of progress after 2 to 3 days of treatment is a sign that neomycin may not be the right fit; get your vet involved promptly.
• Not for Systemic Infections Alone: When fever, depression, or loss of appetite are present, neomycin alone is not sufficient as very little is absorbed into the bloodstream from the gut.
• Adjust for Water Intake Variables: Dosing concentration in medicated water must account for animal age, body weight, disease severity, and environmental conditions that affect daily water consumption.
• Not for Veal Calves or Dairy Cattle: Do not use in calves raised for veal or dairy cows 20 months and above, as no withdrawal periods have been established for them.
• Avoid Multiple Neomycin Products: Using more than one neomycin-containing product at the same time or ignoring withdrawal times can result in illegal drug residues in meat or milk.
• For Animal Use Only: This product is strictly intended for use in animals and must never be consumed by or administered to humans under any circumstances.

Residue Warnings

Animals must not be slaughtered before the following withdrawal periods after the last dose:

• Cattle: 1 day
• Swine and Goats: 3 days
• Sheep: 2 days
• Turkeys: No withdrawal period required

Storage Information

• Store at Room Temperature: Keep NeoMed 325 in a stable room temperature environment, away from excessive heat to maintain powder quality and efficacy.
• Keep in a Dry Place: Store the pouch or container in a dry location, as moisture exposure can cause the powder to cake and reduce its effectiveness.
• Reseal After Opening: After each use, tightly close the pouch or container to protect the remaining powder from moisture and prevent clumping.
• Keep Away from Children: Store in a location completely out of children's reach at all times, as this product is not intended for human use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is NeoMed 325 Soluble Powder used for in livestock?

Ans: NeoMed 325 is prescribed to treat and control colibacillosis caused by E. coli in cattle, swine, sheep, and goats. It is also approved for managing E. coli-related mortality in growing turkeys. A valid veterinary prescription is needed to purchase and use this product.

Q2: How long should NeoMed 325 treatment last in cattle and swine?

Ans: For cattle, swine, sheep, and goats, treatment should run 24 to 48 hours past the point when symptoms clear up, but must not go beyond 14 consecutive days. For turkeys, treatment is capped at 5 days. Your veterinarian will guide the exact duration based on your animals' response.

Q3: What are the withdrawal times for NeoMed 325 before slaughter?

Ans: Cattle require a 1-day withdrawal after the last dose, sheep need 2 days, and swine and goats need 3 days before slaughter. Turkeys have no required withdrawal period. The product must not be used in female dairy cattle aged 20 months or older as no milk discard period has been set.

Q4: Can NeoMed 325 treat livestock showing fever or depression?

Ans: NeoMed 325 is not sufficient on its own when animals show signs like fever, depression, or refusal to eat. Very little neomycin reaches the bloodstream through the gut, so systemic infections need additional treatment. Reach out to your veterinarian promptly if these symptoms develop in your animals.

Q5: Can NeoMed 325 be used in veal calves or lactating dairy cattle?

Ans: No. NeoMed 325 must not be used in calves intended for veal or in female dairy cattle aged 20 months or older. Withdrawal and milk discard periods have not been established for these groups, making use in them a regulatory and food safety concern.
