Effective Mastitis Treatment for Dry Dairy Cows

Product Description

Orbenin-DC is an intramammary treatment made for dry dairy cows to help clear and prevent udder infections caused by specific bacteria. Each syringe contains benzathine cloxacillin, which targets common germs like staph and strep. Because it only requires a 28-day dry period and has no milk withdrawal time after calving, Orbenin-DC helps cows get back to the milking line faster.

Benefits

  • Targeted Treatment: This medicine effectively clears up udder infections caused by common germs like staph and strep in cows.
  • Short Dry Period: It requires only a 28-day dry period, which helps cows return to milk production much sooner than others.
  • No Milk Discard: Eliminates the need for milk withdrawal after calving following the recommended dry period.
  • Infection Control Design: Short-tip syringe design helps reduce the risk of new intramammary infections during administration.
  • Proven Effectiveness: Research shows comparable effectiveness in treating and preventing mastitis in dry cows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is Orbenin-DC used for in dairy cows?

Ans: This medication treats and prevents udder infections in dairy cows during their non-lactating phase. It is given at dry-off to clear out existing germs and provide protection until the cow begins producing milk again.

Q2: How is Orbenin-DC administered to cows?

Ans: Orbenin-DC is administered at the last milking before the dry period begins. Each teat is cleaned and disinfected, then one syringe is infused into each quarter. The product should not be milked out and remains in the udder until calving.

Q3: Does Orbenin-DC require a milk withdrawal period after calving?

Ans: No milk withdrawal is needed after calving if you follow the required 28-day dry period before the birth. This lets cows return to the milking line immediately, helping maintain production levels and reducing any wasted time.

Q4: Can Orbenin-DC be used close to calving?

Ans: No, Orbenin-DC should not be used within 28 days of calving. It is specifically labeled for use during the dry period and must be administered at least four weeks before calving to ensure safety and compliance with product guidelines.

Q5: What type of bacteria does Orbenin-DC target?

Ans: This treatment focuses on specific bacteria that are usually responsible for hidden udder infections in non-lactating cows. It is especially good at stopping common germs like staph and strep during the dry off period.
