FOR SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTION ONLY.
Use 10 mg tilmicosin per kg body weight (corresponding to 1 ml of Milbotyl per 30 kg bodyweight).
Cattle: Withdraw the required dose from the vial and remove the syringe from the needle, leaving the needle in the vial.
When a group of animals has to be treated, leave the needle in the vial to remove the subsequent doses. Restrain the animal and insert a separate needle subcutaneously at the injection site, preferably in a skinfold over the rib cage behind the shoulder. Attach the syringe to the needle and inject into the base of the skinfold. Do not inject more than 20 ml per injection site.
Sheep: Accurate weighing of lambs is important to avoid overdosing. The use of a 2 ml or smaller syringe improves accurate dosing. Withdraw the required dose from the vial and remove the syringe from the needle, leaving the needle in the vial. Restrain the sheep whilst leaning over the animal and insert a separate needle subcutaneously into the injection site, which should be in a skinfold over the rib cage behind the shoulder. Attach the syringe to the needle and inject into the base of the skin fold. Do not inject more than 2 ml per injection.
Advice on correct administration
Official, national and regional antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the product is used.
To avoid self-injection do not use automatic injection equipment.
The use of the product should be based on susceptibility tests.
If no improvement is noted within 48 hours, the diagnosis should be confirmed. Avoid introduction of contamination into vial during use. Do not use Milbotyl if you notice any foreign particulate matter and/or abnormal physical appearance. In the event of either being observed, discard the vial.
