REASONS FOR DRUG FAILURE IN LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION

Often times, Livestock farmers wonder why they do not get the expected or positive results inspite of intense efforts put into their enterprise.

Below are few tips on drug administration that is tantamount to nullity or failure

Spurious drug combination:

Most times Livestock farmers combine multiple antibiotics in a bid to get instant or potentiated relieve.

The result of such decision is usually unproductive due to unfavourable drug interactions

Do not mix the following drugs together;

1. Do not mix drugs like Enrofloxacin or Ciprofloxacin together with Vitamins

2. Do not mix Calcium with Oxytetracycline

3 Do not mix Sulpha based drugs with Vitamins

4. Do not mix Amprolium with Multivitamins especially the B1, B2, B6 and B12 Vitamins

5. Do not administer Iodine based drugs in drinking water used for Vaccine administration

6. It has been discovered that the presence of Iodine in drinking water decreases the antimicrobial effect of Enrofloxacin

7. The use of Sodium hydrochlorite as water sanitizer reduces the effect of Enrofloxacin on bacteria activity

8. Do not combine Gentamicin or Neomycin based drugs with Enrofloxacin

10. Do not combine Gentamicin with Penicillin or Amoxicillin or Ampicillin

I must stress here that drug prescription and administration is not an "all comers affairs".

Please be careful who you take counsel from.

Your choice of drugs could either be of no effect or could even cause harm
