The contents of one syringe (150mg cefquinome) should be instilled gently into the teat of each quarter, immediately after the last milking.
Before instillation, the udder should be milked out completely. The teat and its orifice should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with the cleaning towel provided. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the nozzle. Insert gently either about 5mm or the whole length of the nozzle and infuse the contents of one syringe into each quarter. Disperse the product by gentle massage of the teat and udder. The syringe must only be used once.
Special precautions for use in animals
Use of the product should be based on susceptibility testing of the bacteria isolated from the animal. If it is not possible, therapy should be based on local (regional, farm level) epidemiological information about susceptibility of the target bacteria
Do not use the cleaning towel on teats with lesions.
In case of erroneous use during lactation the milk should be discarded for 35 days.
The efficacy of the product is only established against the pathogens mentioned. Consequently, serious acute mastitis (potentially fatal) due to other pathogen species, mainly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, can occur after the drying off. Good hygienic practices should be thoroughly respected in order to reduce that risk; cows should be housed in a hygienic paddock far from the milking parlour and regularly checked several days after drying off.
