and effective in controlling fever due to acute mastitis.
TRIAL SETUP1
- Multisite field study with lactating dairy cows between 2 and 12 years of age.

- Cows were also protected from rain and misting systems and did not have access to a cow brush.
- Six hours after treatment rectal temperatures were measured.

- There were no treatment-related adverse reactions within six days following dosing.
