Eurovet Animal Health has now launched a new product, Bovocycline 2000 mg pessary for cattle. This hails the arrival of the only veterinary licenced antibiotic pessary for the treatment of retained foetal membranes in cattle. Bovocycline is licenced for the treatment of post parturient disorders in cattle, for administration after dystocia, retained foetal membranes (RFMs) and endometritis.

The incidence of retained foetal membranes in cows varies from zero to 25 per cent, but the average is around 4 per cent in most herds. RFMs result in reduced cow fertility and a higher risk of culling due to poor fertility. Pessaries are still considered the preferred treatment for vulval discharges in cattle by farmers.

Ruth Vernon, Technical Services Manager for Eurovet said “The control of post partum problems in cattle is rarely straight forward, but it is great to have a veterinary licensed treatment designed specifically for this purpose, in one pessary that contains 2000mgs tetracycline”.
