Suitable for:
Doxycycline is a bacteriostatic agent that acts by interfering with the bacterial protein synthesis of sensitive species.
Doxycycline is a semi-synthetic tetracycline derived from oxytetracycline. It acts on the subunit 30S of the bacterial ribosome, to which it is linked reversibly, blocking the union between aminoacyl-tRNA (transfer RNA) to the mRNA-ribosome complex, preventing the addition of new aminoacids into the growing peptide chain and thus interfering with protein synthesis.
Doxycycline is active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Chickens (broilers): Prevention and treatment of chronic respiratory disease (CRD) and mycoplasmosis caused by microorganisms sensitive to doxycycline.
The presence of the disease in the herd should be established before treatment.
Bovine mastitis: 1ml/ 10kg bodyweight (equivalent to 4mg per kg bodyweight) as a single intravenous injection.
Bovine respiratory disease: 1ml/ 20kg bodyweight (2mg per kg bodyweight) by intravenous or subcutaneous injection. Treatment may be repeated after 48 hours. Second injection should be given on the opposite side of the body.
