Ubroseal Blue Dry Cow

120 x 1 pc
Intramammary Suspension
MA

Species

Cattle (dairy cows at drying off)

Indications

Prevention of new intramammary infections throughout the dry period.

 

In cows considered likely to be free of sub-clinical mastitis, the veterinary medicinal product can be used on its own in dry cow management and mastitis control.

 

Selection of cows for treatment with the veterinary medicinal product should be based on veterinary clinical judgement. Selection criteria may be based on the mastitis and cell count history of individual cows, or recognised tests for the detection of sub-clinical mastitis or bacteriological sampling.

Dose to be administered and administration route

For intramammary use only.

 

Infuse the contents of one syringe of the veterinary medicinal product into each udder quarter immediately after the last milking of the lactation (at drying off). Do not massage the teat or udder after infusion of the veterinary medicinal product.

 

Care must be taken not to introduce pathogens into the teat in order to reduce the risk of post-infusion mastitis.

 

It is essential that the teat is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, with surgical spirit or alcohol-impregnated disinfecting towels. The teats should be wiped until the disinfecting towels are no longer visibly dirty. Teats should be allowed to dry prior to infusion. Infuse aseptically and take care to avoid contamination of the syringe nozzle. Following infusion it is advisable to use an appropriate teat dip or spray.

 

Under cold conditions the veterinary medicinal product may be warmed to room temperature in a warm environment to aid syringeability.

Special precautions for use in animals

It is good practice to observe dry cows regularly for signs of clinical mastitis. If a sealed quarter develops clinical mastitis, the affected quarter should be stripped out manually before appropriate therapy is instituted. To reduce the risk of contamination, do not immerse the syringe in water. Use the syringe only once. It is important to observe strict aseptic technique for the administration of the product because the product does not have antimicrobial activity. Do not administer any other intramammary product following administration of this product. In cows that may have sub-clinical mastitis, the product may be used following administration of a suitable dry cow antibiotic treatment to the infected quarter.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals

Wash hands after use.

The cleaning towels provided with the intramammary product contain isopropyl alcohol. Wear protective gloves if skin irritation due to isopropyl alcohol is known or suspected. Avoid contact with eyes because isopropyl alcohol can cause eye irritation.
