A combination oxytetracycline/flunixin treatment of respiratory infections in cattle
نویسنده
چکیده
A blinded, randomised GCP study was performed to investigate the efficacy of a single injection of long-acting oxytetracycline (OXY) and flunixin (FLU) in young calves suffering from acute respiratory disease. Tilmicosine (TIL) and oxytetracycline alone were used as positive controls. Six hours post-treatment, rectal temperature in animals treated with OXY/FLU had decreased and was significantly lower than in the animals treated with both reference products (p = 0.009). This difference remained significant at 24 hours post-treatment, between OXY/FLU and OXY groups (p<0.001). Over the entire study period, the OXY/FLU treatment produced an overall clinical efficacy similar to treatment with OXY and TIL.
