Features & Benefits
SMOOTH AND EASY ON YOUR CATTLE
- BIO-MYCIN 200 is the only injectable product formulated with Select Carrier™.
- SELECT CARRIER is a patented vehicle that reduces tissue irritation and cattle discomfort. Because of this unique carrier, costly injection-site lesions and post-treatment tissue reactions are minimized.
- In a head-to-head study, BIO-MYCIN 200 showed reduced tissue damage in cattle after injection when compared to Nuflor® (florfenicol), Micotil® (tilmicosin injection), Liquamycin® LA-200® (oxytetracycline injectable solution) or Noromycin® 300 LA (oxytetracycline).1
BROAD USE
- BIO-MYCIN 200 treats a wide range of diseases including pinkeye, bovine respiratory disease, foot rot and leptospirosis.
- BIO-MYCIN 200 is effective on various types of cattle: all beef cattle, lactating and non-lactating dairy cattle.
EFFICACY
- BIO-MYCIN 200 is more effective than LIQUAMYCIN LA-200, providing the immediate impact and long-lasting treatment animals need to recover. 2
- Compared to cattle treated with LIQUAMYCIN LA-200, cattle treated with BIO-MYCIN 200 had higher peaks and longer duration of antibiotic levels in tissue. 2
COST-EFFECTIVE
- BIO-MYCIN 200 has a low-dose volume with a pharmacokinetic profile similar to a 300 mg product.
- Losses due to lesion trimming can cost up to $40 per head.3 So choosing the smoother BIO-MYCIN 200 can improve cattle profitability and performance.
