The application scope of chlortetracycline premix may be further expanded. In addition to the traditional livestock and poultry breeding field, the application research in aquaculture, special animal breeding and other fields is gradually carried out, which is expected to provide new solutions for animal health and aquaculture development in these fields. However, how to use its dosage correctly needs strict control.
The Usage and Dosage of Chlortetracycline Premix Are Particular
When using chlortetracycline premix, the usage and dosage must be strictly controlled. Taking pigs as an example, to prevent diarrhea in weaned piglets, 1-2 kg of chlortetracycline premix is generally added to each ton of feed for 7-14 days. When treating swine asthma and proliferative enteritis, 1-1.5 kg of chlortetracycline premix is added to each ton of feed for 7-10 days. In broiler breeding, 20-50g chlortetracycline premix is added to each ton of feed, and the dosage can be appropriately adjusted according to the growth stage and health status of broilers, and the use cycle is generally phased addition, such as continuous use for 1-2 weeks in the growth stage prone to diseases.
The main mode of administration is mixed feeding, that is, chlortetracycline premix is evenly mixed in the feed to ensure that every livestock and poultry can take in the right amount of drugs. It should be noted that the usage and dosage of chlortetracycline premix produced by different manufacturers may be different due to purity, dosage form and other factors. Farmers must read the product instructions carefully and strictly follow the guidance and suggestions of veterinarians, and must not increase or decrease the dosage at will, so as not to affect the treatment effect or lead to drug residues and other problems. At the same time, when using chlortetracycline premix, it is necessary to ensure the quality and mixing uniformity of feed, so as to give full play to the role of drugs and ensure the health and breeding benefits of livestock and poultry.
Problems of Drug Withdrawal Period and Residue When Using Chlortetracycline Premix
Drug withdrawal period refers to the interval between the last drug use of livestock and poultry and the slaughter of the livestock and poultry or the marketing of its products (milk and eggs).
The withdrawal period of chlortetracycline premix varies with animal species, for example, the withdrawal period of pigs is usually 7 days and that of sheep is 3 days. It is very important to implement the withdrawal period of veterinary drugs, which is to avoid excessive residual drugs in animal tissues or products for human consumption and to ensure that people will not endanger their health after eating their tissues or products.
In the process of breeding, farmers must strictly abide by the provisions of the drug withdrawal period to ensure the full metabolism of drugs in animals and reduce the risk of drug residues.
If the drug withdrawal period is not observed, drug residues may pose a potential threat to human health, such as causing allergic reactions, affecting the normal flora balance of the human body, and leading to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria. Therefore, farmers should make a good record of drug use, accurately calculate the withdrawal period, avoid slaughtering livestock and poultry or selling their products during the withdrawal period, and effectively ensure food safety.
