Injectable Solution for treatment of experimentally induced Mycoplasma bovis respiratory infection in calves
ثبت نشده
چکیده
• DRAXXIN (tulathromycin) Injectable Solution administered as a single subcutaneous (SC) injection was safe and effective for the treatment of experimentally induced Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) respiratory infection in calves. • DRAXXIN significantly reduced percentage of days with pyrexia and lung lesions compared with saline. • Animals treated with DRAXXIN gained more weight than animals treated with saline in one study. • M. bovis can be a major contributor to acute and chronic pneumonia in feeder cattle.

Comparative efficacy of tulathromycin and tildipirosin for the treatment of experimental Mycoplasma bovis infection in calves
The objective of this negative controlled, blinded, randomised, parallel group study was to compare the efficacy of two injectable macrolide antimicrobials, tulathromycin and tildipirosin, administered by single subcutaneous injection at dose rates of 2.5 and 4.0 mg kg-1 bodyweight, respectively, in the treatment of an experimentally induced Mycoplasma bovis infection in calves. A total of 238 ...

Forty colostrum-deprived, cross-bred beef calves, including males and females 3 to 8 months of age, were procured and transported to the test facility 6 days before initiation of the study. On Day -2, each calf received 60 mL of challenge material by endobronchial infusion. Calves were randomly assigned to either Group 1 (saline at 2.0 mL/50 kg body weight by subcutaneous injection) or Group 2 ...
متن کاملField evaluation of a Mycoplasma bovis bacterin in young dairy calves.
Mycoplasma bovis is an important cause of pneumonia, otitis media and arthritis in young dairy calves, and there is a critical need for improved preventative strategies for this pathogen. We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded field trial to determine the efficacy of a commercial M. bovis vaccine for the prevention of M. bovis-associated disease in calves. Calves (n=373) ...
متن کاملOral Inoculation of Young Dairy Calves with Mycoplasma bovis Results in Colonization of Tonsils, Development of Otitis Media and Local Immunity
Because M. bovis otitis media is an economically important problem, there is a need to understand the pathogenesis of disease, not only to improve our understanding of the factors contributing to the development of this disease but also to inform the development of improved diagnostic tests and therapy. Oral ingestion of M. bovis-contaminated milk is linked, but not definitively proven, to deve...
متن کاملMycoplasmas and bovine respiratory disease: studies related to pathogenicity and the immune response--a selective review.
Three species of mycoplasma have been established as being of importance as causes of pneumonia in housed calves, based on pathogenicity studies and frequency of association with the disease. These three species are Mycoplasma bovis, M. dispar, and Ureaplasma diversum. M. bovis is the most pathogenic of these species but the disease outbreaks with which it is associated are sporadic. M. dispar ...
