Treating BRD effectively means more than using the right antibiotic at the right time. 

You need to determine which animals to pull and treat — and that can be challenging.  Statistics show that many animals die from BRD without ever showing signs. If more than 25 percent appear infected, specialists often recommend treating the whole group.

Then there’s the cost of labor associated with running cattle through the chute and administering the injections.  The risk of injection-site abscesses, broken needles and the added stress on moving animals also come into play.

Adding Aureomycin to starter and receiving diets helps protect your investment by taking the guesswork out of BRD management.  It also helps reduce the number of “pulls” requiring injectable antibiotics. 

No other in-feed product effective against bovine respiratory disease comes close to matching the proven track record and convenience of Aureomycin® (chlortetracycline). 

Aureomycin also can be used to treat the widespread cattle disease anaplasmosis . It also reduces liver condemnations due to abscesses in growing cattle and has been shown to be effective against footrot.  In addition, Aureomycin helps to improve weight gain and feed efficiency.

Aureomycin can be fed with confidence, with no weight restrictions or withdrawal period.  For added convenience and flexibility, Aureomycin is also the only antibiotic in its class approved for use in combination with two powerful anticoccidials — Bovatec® (lasalocid) and Deccox®(decoquinate).

While other tetracycline antibiotics are similar in molecular structure, pharmaceutical and structural differences such as granulation need to be considered when choosing products for disease management. 

The advanced technology used to make Aureomycin ensures higher premix potency greater retention of CTC after pelleting and a 100 percent potency (minimum assay) guarantee.
