EXCITING NEWS: Baytril® 100 (enrofloxacin) approved for use in dairy replacement heifers*
Baytril® 100 (enrofloxacin) is now approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in dairy replacement heifers less than 20 months of age. Baytril 100 is a powerful, fast-acting antimicrobial for first-line treatment of BRD that beef cattle producers and bovine veterinarians have relied on for more than a decade.
- Rapidly bactericidal - inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase which leads to cell death.
- Concentration-dependent- not time-dependent. Baytril 100 delivers high therapeutic concentrations to the lungs, clearing the infection quick, getting cattle back to work fast.
- Broad spectrum - Baytril 100 treats all three major BRD-causing bacteria.
- Efficient - Single-dose Baytril 100 saves chute time and labor costs, reduces animal stress, as well as the risk of injury for workers and animals.
- Flexible - Baytril 100 works with a single injection or as a multiple-day therapy.
- Easy to syringe - Baytril 100 is easy on the user, especially in cold weather, and easy on the calf with no significant injection site reactions.
- Proven - Proven with more than 30 million animals treated in the US alone, Baytril 100 delivers fewer deads and chronics.1
