Dosage
Cattle

AGRIMYCIN® 200 is to be administered by intramuscular, subcutaneous or intravenous injection to beef cattle, dairy cattle; and calves, including pre-ruminating (veal) calves.

A single dosage of 9 mg of AGRIMYCIN® 200 per lb of body weight administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously is recommended in the treatment of the following conditions:

(1) bacterial pneumonia caused by Pasteurella spp., (shipping fever) in calves and yearlings, where retreatment is impractical due to husbandry conditions, such as cattle on the range, or where repeated restraint is inadvisable.

(2) infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (pink eye) caused by Moraxella bovis.

AGRIMYCIN® 200 can also be administered by intravenous, subcutaneous, or intramuscular injection at a level of 3-5 mg of oxytetracycline per lb of body weight per day. In the treatment of severe foot rot and advanced cases of other indicated diseases, a dosage level of 5 mg/lb of body weight per day is recommended. Treatment should be continued for 24-48 hours following remission of disease signs; however, not to exceed a total of 4 consecutive days. Consult your veterinarian if improvement is not noted within 24-48 hours of the beginning of treatment.
Swine

In swine a single dosage of 9 mg of AGRIMYCIN® 200 per lb of body weight administered intramuscularly is recommended in the treatment of bacterial pneumonia caused by Pasteurella multocida in swine, where re-treatment is impractical due to husbandry conditions, or where repeated restraint is inadvisable.

AGRIMYCIN® 200 can also be administered by intramuscular injection at a level of 3-5 mg of oxytetracycline per lb of body weight per day. Treatment should be continued 24-48 hours following remission of disease signs; however, not to exceed a total of 4 consecutive days. Consult your veterinarian if improvement is not noted within 24-48 hours of the beginning of treatment.

For sows, administer once intramuscularly 3 mg of oxytetracycline per lb of body weight approximately 8 hours before farrowing or immediately after completion of farrowing.

For swine weighing 25 lb of body weight and under, AGRIMYCIN® 200 should be administered undiluted for treatment at 9 mg/lb, but should be administered diluted for treatment at 3 or 5 mg/lb.

* To prepare dilutions, add one part of AGRIMYCIN® 200 to 3, 5, or 7 parts of sterile water, or 5% dextrose solution as indicated; the diluted product should be used immediately.

Directions For Use

AGRIMYCIN® 200 is intended for the use in treatment of the disease due to oxytetracycline-susceptible organisms in beef cattle; dairy cattle; calves; including preruminating (veal) calves; and swine. A thoroughly cleaned, sterile needle and syringe should be used for each injection (needles and syringes may be sterilized by boiling in water for 15 minutes). In cold weather, AGRIMYCIN® 200 should be warmed to room temperature before administration to animals. Before withdrawing the solution from the bottle, disinfect the rubber cap on the bottle with a suitable disinfectant, such as 70% alcohol. The injection site should be similarly cleaned with the disinfectant. Needles of 16-18 gauge and 1-1 1/2 inches long are adequate for intramuscular and subcutaneous injections. Needles 2-3 inches are recommended for intravenous use.
Intramuscular Administration

Intramuscular injections should be made by directing the needle of suitable gauge and length into the fleshy part of a thick muscle such as in the rump, hip, or thigh regions; avoid blood vessels and major nerves. Before injecting the solution, pull back gently on the plunger. If blood appears in the syringe, a blood vessel has been entered; withdraw the needle and select a different site. No more than 10 mL should be injected intramuscularly at any one site in adult beef and dairy cattle, and not more than 5 mL per site in adult swine; rotate injection sites for each succeeding treatment. The volume administered per injection site should be reduced according to age and body size so that 1-2 mL per site is injected in small calves.
Subcutaneous Administration

Subcutaneous injections in beef cattle, dairy cattle, and calves, including preruminating (veal) calves, should be made by directing the needle of suitable gauge and length through the loose folds of the neck skin in front of the shoulder. Care should be taken to ensure that the tip of the needle has penetrated the skin, but is not lodged in muscle. Before injecting the solution, pull back gently on the plunger. If blood appears in the syringe, a blood vessel has been entered; withdraw the needle and select a different site. The solution should be injected slowly into the area between the skin and muscles. No more than 10 mL should be injected subcutaneously at any one site in adult beef cattle and dairy cattle; rotate injection sites for each succeeding treatment. The volume administered per injection site should be reduced according to age and body size so that 1-2 mL per site is injected in small calves.
Intravenous Administration

AGRIMYCIN® 200 may be administered intravenously to beef and dairy cattle. As with all highly concentrated materials, AGRIMYCIN® 200 should be administered slowly by the intravenous route.
