Features & Benefits
Smooth
- BIO-MYCIN 200 delivers oxytetracycline in a unique, patented carrier to treat disease in beef and dairy cattle and swine while minimizing costly injection-site lesions. That translates into being easier on your animals — and your wallet.
Caution: Muscle discoloration may necessitate trimming of the injection site(s) and surrounding tissues during the dressing procedure.
Effective
- BIO-MYCIN delivers both the immediate peak and longer duration of antibiotic levels in tissue animals need to recover.
Economical
- Losses due to lesion trimming can add up quickly. So choosing the smoother BIO-MYCIN 200 instead of a cheaper long-acting oxytetracycline can save you money over time.
