Dosage and administration
Cows: Dosage
A course of three infusions per infected quarter – one syringe given every 48 hours. Individual syringes must only be used once.
Administration
Clean and disinfect the teat end thoroughly with surgical spirit after milking. Insert nozzle into the teat and apply gentle and continuous pressure until the suspension is expressed. The treated quarter(s) may be milked out at the next normal milking time.
Ewes: Dosage
A single infusion should be made into each udder half at weaning.
Administration
It is important that a simple hygienic procedure is followed. One operator should turn up and hold each ewe whilst a second person carries out the infusion technique. Clean and disinfect each teat end thoroughly with surgical spirit. Appose the syringe nozzle to the teat orifice and apply gentle, continuous pressure to express the suspension in the udder. Actual cannulation of the teat orifice is neither necessary nor desirable. Use a fresh syringe for each udder half to avoid the possibility of cross contamination during infusion.
