An innovative, easier-to-use version of a popular anti-infective is now available from Zoetis. EXCENEL RTU EZ (ceftiofur hydrochloride) Sterile Suspension is a new formulation of the responsible, fresh cow treatment that producers and veterinarians have trusted for more than 20 years.
To improve ease of use, the product takes advantage of a lower viscosity formula, improving syringeability by 40 percent. Dairy producers and veterinarians can use it as an effective treatment for acute, postpartum metritis, bovine respiratory disease (BRD), pneumonia, shipping fever and foot rot.
Producers and veterinarians should note an important change in the meat withdrawal for cattle – four days, the company says. Producers should work with their veterinarian to review protocols and make necessary adjustments in animal health management.
Persons with known hypersensitivity to penicillin or cephalosporins should avoid exposure to the product. Using excess dosages or administrating by unapproved routes may result in illegal drug residues. Click here to see full prescribing information and warnings. PD
