Terramycin LA 20ml

Terramycin LA is a professional-grade, long-acting injectable antibiotic engineered for the South African agricultural and veterinary sectors. Formulated with a high concentration of Oxytetracycline (200mg/ml), it is the primary choice for producers in the Heidelberg region who require a compact, highly portable solution for "spot-treatment" of individual animals. This 20ml multidose vial is specifically designed to provide therapeutic blood levels for up to 3 to 5 days from a single injection, making it a critical tool for managing acute infections in cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs without the need for daily handling.

Key Performance Features

• Long-Acting (LA) 200mg/ml Formula: Specifically engineered to release the active ingredient slowly from the injection site, maintaining effective therapeutic levels for an extended period.
• Broad-Spectrum Bacteriostatic Action: Formulated to inhibit the growth of a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including those responsible for Heartwater, Pneumonia, and Footrot.
• Compact "Saddle-Bag" Format: The 20ml vial is the ideal size for a mobile vet kit, glove box, or saddle-bag, ensuring life-saving treatment is always on hand during field inspections.
• Tissue-Friendly Vehicle: Manufactured with a specialized carrier that minimizes irritation and swelling at the injection site compared to standard short-acting formulations.

Ideal Applications

• Acute Heartwater Treatment: The industry standard for the emergency treatment of tick-borne Heartwater, particularly when a single, high-potency dose is required in the field.
• Respiratory Disease (Pneumonia): Perfect for managing isolated cases of "shipping fever" or lung infections in calves and lambs.
• Secondary Bacterial Infections: Ideal for preventing complications following viral outbreaks or physical trauma such as difficult births.
• Small-Scale Livestock Farming: A reliable primary antibiotic for smallholders who only need to treat one or two animals at a time, minimizing product wastage.

Product Benefits

• Maximum Portability: The lightweight 20ml glass vial is easy to carry and store, ensuring immediate intervention is possible even in remote grazing camps.
• Reduces Animal Handling: The long-acting nature of the product means the animal only needs to be caught and restrained once, significantly reducing recovery-inhibiting stress.
• Proven Global Reliability: One of the most trusted names in veterinary medicine, providing consistent results across a wide variety of species and conditions.

Pro Tip: For the best absorption, administer the injection Deep Intramuscularly (IM) in the heavy muscle of the neck. Installation Note: Use a sterile 18G or 21G Luer Lock needle for the 20ml vial to ensure a precise, controlled delivery. Safety Note: Always observe the statutory withdrawal periods for meat and milk (as specified on the South African label) before sending animals to slaughter or harvesting milk for human consumption.
