Kloxerate DC (Dry Cow)
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Do not use in cows with a drying off period of four weeks or less.
Not intended for use within 28 days of calving.
Milk for human consumption may only be taken from 60 hours after calving. Should a cow calve earlier than 28 days after the last treatment, milk for human consumption may only be taken from 28 days plus 60 hours after the last treatment. Should a cow calve earlier than 28 days after treatment consult your veterinary surgeon. In cows suffering from hypocalcaemia it may be necessary to withhold milk for a longer period than that stated above. In such cases, milk should be withheld until the levels of antibiotics are below the maximum accepted residue levels, i.e. 0.03 mcg/ml for cloxacillin.
Animals must not be slaughtered for human consumption during treatment. Cattle may be slaughtered for human consumption only after 28 days from the last treatment.
The product must not be used in the treatment of lactating cows. Should this occur milk should be discarded for 28 days, following which time milk should be tested until antibiotic can no longer be detected.
