How to use veterinary drugs correctly?

Animals often get sick in the process of breeding and production. In order to reduce losses, we need to treat animals, which requires us to use veterinary drugs correctly. So how should veterinary drugs be used correctly? Next, I will share my views with you.

1, and make a correct diagnosis of epidemic diseases.

Correct and clear diagnosis of the right medicine is the premise of correct drug selection. In the case of undiagnosed diseases of livestock and poultry, we can't take it for granted to use drugs blindly. When a disease occurs, its symptoms must be carefully observed, and if necessary, an autopsy or disease materials should be collected and sent to relevant departments for laboratory diagnosis. Only on the basis of accurate diagnosis, targeted drug selection can achieve the expected curative effect. Different diseases are treated with different drugs, and the same disease cannot be treated with one drug for a long time, because some bacteria will develop drug resistance. Clinically, selecting drugs according to the etiology and symptoms is an effective method to reduce waste and cost. Generally speaking, the earlier the drug is used, the better the effect will be. Especially for microbial infectious diseases, early medication can quickly control the disease. However, bacillary dysentery should not be stopped prematurely, because it will make bacteria unable to be eliminated in time and make them multiply in the body, thus causing more serious diarrhea.

2. Control dosage

In order to ensure the effective dosage in actual production, it should be used according to the dosage directed by the manufacturer or according to the doctor's advice. Small doses can not achieve preventive or therapeutic effects, and it is easy to lead to the emergence of drug-resistant strains; However, the greater the dose, the better the effect. The use of many drugs in large doses not only causes drug residues, but also causes livestock poisoning.

3. Pay attention to drug solubility and water consumption.

The solubility of drugs and the water consumption of livestock and poultry should be considered in drinking water administration to ensure that livestock and poultry take enough drugs. It is best to separate animals that drink more water from animals that drink less water, and animals that drink less water should appropriately extend their drinking time.

4. Stir well

Drugs mixed with feed must be stirred evenly to prevent the dosage of drugs taken by livestock and poultry from being inconsistent. If the medicine is not evenly stirred, eating too much will cause livestock poisoning, while eating too little will have no therapeutic effect. Similarly, animals with high food intake should be fed separately from animals with low food intake, and animals with low food intake should be fed for a longer time.

5. Choose the appropriate route of administration.

Under normal circumstances, drugs that can be taken orally are best taken with drinking water and feed instead of intramuscular injection. It is not only convenient and labor-saving, but also can reduce some stress reactions caused by large-scale arrest. If intramuscular injection can solve the problem, intravenous injection is generally not used.

6. Reasonable control of medication course.

The drug must be used continuously for more than one course of treatment. The course of treatment is not enough, so that the effective concentration and action time of the drug can not be maintained, and some pathogens can only be temporarily inhibited, but not killed. Once the drug is stopped, the inhibited pathogen will grow and reproduce again, which will lead to the recurrence of the disease and eventually lead to the failure of treatment. Therefore, you can't stop using 1 ~ 2 times without curative effect, or change the drug variety in a hurry. Because many drugs have to go through a course of treatment to show their efficacy. When taking medicine, the course of medication should be strictly controlled according to the instructions or doctor's advice.

The above are some methods about how to use veterinary drugs correctly, hoping to help everyone.
