Faunsdale, AL | Glad it worked like you planned. However, find another drug to use that takes less volume than penicillin.
An effective single day's dose of penicillin is about 40 ml for most beef cows. Bulls, 60 minimum and that's mostly because of 60 ml being about the biggest syringe you can get! In the chute you can stick the needle through the hide once and then pull out and redirect the needle into a couple spots from that one puncture. Putting more than 10 ml into a spot is mostly for withdrawal time. If you're not going to ship the cow anytime soon, don't worry about putting 20-25 ml in a spot, just don't want it to leak back out. And do not go for the long acting formulations of benzathine penicillin, just too slow of a release for any effective blood levels.
And then you need to do this again tomorrow. | |
