Antrovet Oximycin 230 LA is a professional-grade, long-acting injectable antibiotic engineered for the South African livestock sector. Formulated with a high concentration of Oxytetracycline (230mg/ml), it is the primary choice for producers in the Gauteng and Heidelberg regions who require a "single-shot" solution for managing respiratory infections, heartwater, and footrot. This 500ml glass multidose vial is specifically designed to provide therapeutic blood levels for up to 3 to 5 days, drastically reducing the labor and animal stress associated with repeated daily injections.
Key Performance Features
- High-Concentration 230mg/ml Formula: Delivers a potent dose of Oxytetracycline, ensuring rapid "knockdown" of susceptible Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
- Long-Acting (LA) Vehicle: Specifically engineered to release the active ingredient slowly from the injection site, maintaining effective therapeutic levels for an extended period.
- Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Formulated to treat a wide variety of conditions, including Heartwater, Pneumonia (Pasteurellosis), Footrot, and Navel-ill in young stock.
- Ready-to-Use Injectable: Requires no mixing or reconstitution; the stable solution is ready for immediate intramuscular (IM) administration during a health crisis.
Ideal Applications
- Heartwater Management: The industry standard for treating tick-borne Heartwater in cattle and sheep, especially during high-risk seasons in the bushveld.
- Respiratory Disease Complexes: Perfect for managing "Shipping Fever" or Pneumonia in feedlot environments and high-density kraals.
- Infectious Footrot & Joint-ill: Ideal for treating deep-seated bacterial infections in the hoof or joints of sheep and goats.
- Post-Operative & Trauma Support: A reliable primary antibiotic for preventing secondary bacterial infections following difficult calvings or surgical procedures.
Product Benefits
- Reduces Labor Costs: The long-acting formulation eliminates the need for daily handling of sick animals, saving time and reducing the risk of further injury.
- Minimizes Animal Stress: Feverish or weak animals benefit from a single treatment, allowing them to rest and recover without the trauma of repeated restraint.
- Highly Stable Formulation: Designed to remain effective in the variable temperatures of a farm vet-room, provided it is kept away from direct sunlight.
Pro Tip: For the best absorption and to minimize tissue irritation, always administer the injection Intramuscularly (IM) in the heavy muscle of the neck. Installation Note: Use a 16G or 18G Luer Lock needle to accommodate the slightly viscous nature of the LA solution. Safety Note: Always observe the statutory withdrawal periods for meat and milk as indicated on the label before sending animals to slaughter or putting milk into the tank.
