Maxalac Lactating Cow
![](https://avet.health/hubfs/Elevet%20logo-1.jpg)
For broad-spectrum control of mastitis-causing bacteria (including penicillin-resistant strains) in lactating dairy cattle
Size: 20 x 3 gram syringes
Dosage and Administration
Wear gloves when infusing the treatment.
Before infusion the teat should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. The contents of one syringe should be infused into the teat canal of each infected quarter every 12 hours, after each of three successive milkings.
- After milking is complete, thoroughly clean and disinfect the end of the teat (e.g. with cotton wool soaked in alcohol).
- Hold the barrel of the syringe firmly in one hand and gently twist and pull the protective cap in a straight line to remove it, taking care not to contaminate the nozzle.
- Insert the nozzle fully into the teat canal and apply steady pressure on the syringe plunger until the full dose has been delivered. Holding the end of the teat with one hand, gently massage upwards with the other to aid dispersion of the antibiotic into the quarter.
- After infusion it is advisable to dip the teat into an antiseptic preparation specifically designed for this purpose.
