The use of veterinary drugs in animal husbandry must comply with instructions and certain principles to achieve the desired effect.
Selection
– Farmers should choose to buy drugs from reputable veterinary drug manufacturers on the market.
– When buying, carefully read the usage section to see which specific disease the drug is used to buy the right type.
Using veterinary drugs as chemicals and disinfectants
– To ensure effective disinfection and health for livestock, it is necessary to choose the right type of chemical, and at the same time, use the right technique to promote effectiveness without causing unwanted side effects for humans and livestock.
– Choose disinfectants that are in the list of products that have been approved for use in livestock farming; have good disinfection ability, but do not harm livestock, humans and other animals. Quality products must have full stamps, labels, instructions, address of the manufacturing unit, etc.
– For disinfectants, they must be diluted with clean water, at the right concentration and used immediately after mixing to ensure the effectiveness of the drug.
Using veterinary medicine to treat diseases
– Farmers need to diagnose diseases promptly because there are many causes of diseases in livestock. Each disease has different manifestations, so it is necessary to provide information early to help diagnose and intervene in treatment as soon as possible, the more effective the treatment will be.
– When mixed into animal feed, veterinary medicine must ensure the quality, safety and effectiveness of the medicine within the shelf life of each type of feed.
– The principle of using veterinary medicine is from high dose to low dose. First, it is necessary to use fast-acting antibiotics, 2-3 times a day and gradually reduce after the 2nd-3rd day onwards.
– Another note when using veterinary medicine is to treat for the correct time as prescribed and ensure the correct number of days of medication according to the instructions for each type of medicine and disease.
Note
– Do not arbitrarily combine multiple drugs without instructions from a veterinarian. Combining multiple drugs will not be effective because different antibiotics can cause interference, thereby reducing the ability to treat, and can even be counterproductive, seriously affecting the condition of the animal.
– Absolutely do not use banned drugs or increase hormones in livestock farming. Do not use antibiotics to prevent diseases in livestock in a mass and arbitrary way.
– When using drugs to treat livestock, they should be given orally or injected twice a day, 10 to 12 hours apart. As for drugs used for oral use, the animal should be given all the way within 2 hours for the drug to be most effective.
