Long-Acting Antibiotic Injection for Cattle and Swine

Product Description

Tylosin Injection 200 mg/mL is a clean, long-lasting medicine used for beef cows and pigs. It helps fight off breathing issues, skin infections, womb inflammation, and stomach trouble caused by certain germs. Because it works well against common bacteria and Mycoplasma, it stays in the body long enough to manage sickness effectively through a simple muscle shot.

Benefits

  • Fights Many Germs: This works against common types of bacteria and certain organisms like Mycoplasma that often make farm animals sick.
  • Stays in the System: After just one shot, the medicine keeps working in a cow's blood for as long as a full day.
  • Helps with Breathing: It is a good choice for treating pneumonia in cattle and pigs when it is caused by specific germs like Pasteurella.
  • Treats Various Illnesses: Beyond lung issues, this also helps manage skin infections, womb problems, and stomach troubles in swine.
  • High Safety Level: Many studies show this medicine is safe for animals to use and generally does not cause toxic reactions.
  • Easy to Give: The clear instructions for shots in the muscle for both cows and pigs make it simple to follow the treatment plan correctly.

Additional Information

Precautions

  • Injection Spot Reactions: The skin where the shot is given might get a little irritated for a short time because of one of the ingredients (propylene glycol).
  • Watch for Sensitivity: Be extra careful when giving this to animals that have had a bad reaction to tylosin before so they stay safe.
  • Wait Before Slaughter: Make sure to follow the required waiting period before the animal is used for meat so no traces of the drug are left behind.
  • Handle with Care: Try not to get any of this on your skin or in your eyes while you are using it to avoid any stinging or redness.

  • Rectal Swelling: Swine may develop edema of rectal mucosa, which typically resolves after discontinuing treatment.
  • Mild Prolapse: Temporary anal protrusion has been reported in some treated swine during tylosin administration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What conditions does Tylosin Injection treat in cattle and swine?

Ans: Tylosin Injection is a treatment for lung infections, womb issues, and contagious pneumonia in calves, as well as skin diseases, breathing problems, and stomach troubles in pigs. These illnesses are caused by specific germs that tylosin is good at killing, such as Pasteurella multocida and Actinomyces pyogenes.

Q2: How long does Tylosin Injection remain effective after administration?

Ans: Tylosin Injection stays active in the body longer than water-based versions, with a single shot keeping enough medicine in a cow's blood to work for a full day. Because it lasts this long, you only need to give one dose every 24 hours to keep a steady fight against bacteria throughout the treatment.

Q3: What is the correct dosage for Tylosin Injection in livestock?

Ans: For cows, the suggested amount is 4 mL for every 45 kg they weigh, while pigs should get between 0.5 and 2 mL for every 45 kg. Do not keep giving the medicine for more than five days to cattle or three days to swine unless your vet tells you to do something different.

Q4: Are there any withdrawal periods after using Tylosin Injection?

Ans: Yes, treated animals must not be slaughtered for food for at least 21 days in cattle and 14 days in swine after the last treatment. These withdrawal periods help ensure that drug residues do not enter the human food chain.

Q5: Is Tylosin Injection safe for all types of cattle?

Ans: You should not use Tylosin Injection on dairy cows that are currently producing milk. Even though most animals handle it well, some might have an allergic reaction. Make sure a veterinarian is involved and that you stick closely to the directions on the package so the treatment is both safe and successful.
