A broad-spectrum Oxytetracycline injection useful in treating a wide range of infections in horses, cattle, sheep or pigs.

Engemycin 10% (DD) can be administered either at a low dose rate for a 24 hour duration of activity or at a high dose rate for prolonged duration of activity.

Used for the treatment of infections caused by organisms sensitive to oxytetracycline in horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and cats.

In vitro, oxytetracycline is active against a range of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms including: Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Mannheimia haemolytica, Haemophilus parahaemolyticus, Bordetella bronchiseptica, and against Chlamydophila abortus (formerly Chlamydia psittaci), the causative organism of enzootic abortion in sheep.

Dosage & Administration

24 hour dosage regime:

The recommended dosage rate is 3-10 mg/kg bodyweight (depending on age and species - see table) by intramuscular or intravenous injection. The treatment may be repeated at 24 hour intervals up to 4 times (5 treatments in all).

Intravenous injections must be given slowly over a period of at least one minute.

Prolonged action dosage regime:

10 or 20 mg/kg bodyweight depending on age and species (see table) by intramuscular injection only, repeated once after 48-60 hours if required.

Prophylactic treatment of enzootic abortion in sheep: 20 mg/kg administered about day 95-100 of gestation. A further treatment may be given 2-3 weeks later.

Before administration, clean the area of the injection site and swab with spirit. Repeat doses should be administered at different sites, and the sites massaged well after injection.

Maximum recommended dose at any one site: 20 ml for cattle, 10 ml for sheep and pigs.

Needles and syringes are also available to purchase
