Cepravin^® Dry Cow 250 mg Intramammary suspension for cattle (dairy cows at drying-off)

Cepravin Dry Cow is a long-acting intramammary suspension containing Cefalonium; a broad-spectrum first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic effective against predominantly Gram-positive bacteria, to be given at drying off.

Presentation

White to cream coloured suspension.

Active ingredients

Each 3 g syringe contains:

Active substance:

Cefalonium (as cefalonium dihydrate) 250 mg

Target species

Cattle (dairy cows at drying-off).

Indications for use

Recommended for routine dry cow therapy to treat existing sub-clinical mastitis and to prevent new infections which occur during the drying-off period.

Withdrawal periods

Meat and offal: 21 days after last treatment.

Milk: Milk for human consumption may only be taken 96 hours after calving.

If calving occurs before 54 days after treatment, milk for human consumption may be taken after 54 days plus 96 hours after treatment, ensuring that the milk from at least 7 complete milking is discarded.

The absence of antibiotic should be confirmed by testing before its milk is used for human consumption. This is advisable because of variation in the milking cow’s ability to excrete antibiotic from dry cow products. In cows suffering from hypocalcaemia, it may be necessary to discard milk for a longer period.
