Effects of arrival medication with Gamithromycin on bovine respiratory disease in feedlot cattle in Italy / C.A. Sgoifo Rossi, S. Vandoni, M. Bonfanti, A.B. Forbes. - 8:2(2010), pp. 87-96.
Abstract:
A series of trials were conducted in feedlots
in Italy to investigate the efficacy
of gamithromycin in the prevention and
treatment of bovine respiratory disease
(BRD) in newly arrived cattle. Three studies
were conducted on its preventive efficacy
when compared to an untreated control, a
long-acting oxytetracycline formulation or
tulathromycin. The therapeutic responses
to tulathromycin and gamithromycin were
compared in the therapeutic study. Preventive
treatment with gamithromycin significantly
reduced the morbidity due to BRD
by 86%, 86% and 35% compared to the
untreated control group, the oxytetracycline
group and the tulathromycin group respectively.
In the therapeutic trial, the number
of animals that required re-treatment during
the 14 days following the initial medication
was significantly reduced in the gamithromycin
group, compared to the positive
control group. These results suggest that the
dual therapeutic and preventive action of
gamithromycin provides a valuable addition
to the veterinarians’ armamentarium for the
medical management of BRD
