Terramycin Aerosol (containing Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride) is a professional-grade topical antibiotic engineered for the South African livestock and veterinary sectors. Recognizable by its distinct bright blue marker dye, it is the primary choice for producers in the Gauteng and Highveld regions who require an immediate "First-Response" treatment for surface-level bacterial infections. This 150ml pressurized canister is specifically designed to provide high-concentration antibiotic coverage directly to the site of injury, making it a critical tool for managing Footrot, Sore-eyes, and Post-Surgical wounds in cattle, sheep, goats, and horses.
Key Performance Features
- High-Potency 4g Oxytetracycline: Delivers a concentrated dose of broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria on contact.
- Distinct Blue Marker Dye: Specifically formulated to provide a high-visibility visual indicator of exactly where the medication has been applied, ensuring no animal in a group is missed during treatment.
- Rapid-Drying "Film-Forming" Action: Engineered to dry quickly on the skin or hoof, creating a protective medicinal layer that resists being rubbed off or washed away by light environmental moisture.
- Precision Directional Nozzle: Features a specialized actuator that allows for a targeted spray from a distance, minimizing animal stress and preventing wastage of the active ingredient.
Ideal Applications
- Footrot & Hoof Scald Management: The industry standard for treating bacterial infections between the claws of sheep and cattle, especially during wet grazing seasons.
- Post-Surgical & Trauma Wounds: Perfect for protecting castration, dehorning, or accidental wire-cut sites from secondary bacterial contamination.
- Tick-Bite & Skin Lesions: Ideal for soothing and treating localized skin infections caused by heavy tick burdens or biting insects.
- Navel-Ill Prevention in Calves: A reliable primary spray for disinfecting the navels of newborn livestock to prevent ascending systemic infections.
Product Benefits
- Immediate Topical Intervention: Unlike oral or injectable antibiotics that take time to circulate, the aerosol provides an instant "knockdown" of bacteria at the surface level.
- Reduces Cross-Contamination: The hands-free spray application prevents the operator from touching infected tissue and spreading bacteria to other animals in the herd.
- Highly Portable Format: The compact 150ml canister is an essential component of any farm "Emergency Kit," easily fitting into a pocket, vehicle glove box, or veterinary bag.
Pro Tip: For the best results when treating footrot, pare the hoof to remove dead horn and debris before spraying; this allows the "blue mist" to penetrate directly to the site of infection. Installation Note: Hold the canister 15-20cm away from the treatment area and spray for 2 to 3 seconds until the area is completely blue. Safety Note: Avoid spraying directly into the eyes unless specifically indicated by a veterinarian; for eye-related issues, spray the medication onto a clean swab first or use a dedicated ophthalmic ointment.
