"Sureseal DC 120's:\r\nPresentation \r\nTubs of 120 4g applicator syringes containing 650 mg/g Bismuth subnitrate \r\nUses \r\nFor the prevention of mastitis in dairy cows during the non-lactating (dry) period and early post-calving. \r\nDosage for Sureseal: \r\nREAD THE ENCLOSED DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION LEAFLET BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT\r\n\r\nDuring the administration of the product it is important to ensure that infection is not introduced. Accidental introduction of bacteria into the quarter during insertion of the intramammary syringe can result in serious mastitis. Thoroughly clean hands prior to administration and wear clean gloves during administration. \r\n\r\nImmediately after the last milking at drying off, prior to treatment, the udder should be stripped.\r\n\r\nThen each teat thoroughly cleaned with a suitable disinfectant.\r\n\r\nCarefully infuse the entire contents of one injector into each teat to form a seal, preventing the ingress of pathogenic bacteria into the udder during the dry period.\r\n\r\nAfter infusion DO NOT massage or squeeze the teat as this may dislodge the seal.\r\n\r\nIt is recommended to be used as part of a herd approach to dry cow management and mastitis control. Cows considered likely to be free of subclinical mastitis and at risk for new infection in the dry period should be given at drying off. Other animals should be managed in accordance with an approved mastitis control plan or specific veterinary advice. \r\n\r\nFor practical purposes, selection criteria may be based on the mastitis and cell count history of individual cows, or recognised tests for the detection of subclinical mastitis, or bacteriological sampling. As a guide, where there has been no episode of clinical mastitis and at least three individual cow cell counts are available, cows with all cell counts below 250,000 cells/mL may be given Sureseal.\r\nAdministration \r\nMaiden heifers (first calvers): Administer approximately 4 weeks prior to calving to reduce the risk of post-calving mastitis. \r\n\r\nUse in combination with antibiotic therapy: In cows that have sub-clinical mastitis, It may be used following administration of a suitable dry cow antibiotic treatment to the infected quarter. The dry cow antibiotic should be administered in accordance with the product label and massaged into the quarter. Following administration redisinfect the teat and infuse as recommended above. After infusion DO NOT massage or squeeze the teat as this may dislodge the seal. \r\n\r\nMilking machine advice: To reduce the potential for accumulation in milking machines and reduce the risk of particles entering milk in the vat, thoroughly hand-strip out of each quarter, 10-12 strips per quarter, at the first milking of fresh cows. Where possible, avoid removal by the milking machine. Keep milk from fresh cows out of the vat for a minimum of 8 milkings (10 milkings in induced cows) or in line with industry standards designed to minimise colostrums entering milk for processing. If possible, use designated clusters and test buckets during this time to minimise adherence to rubberware and milk lines. Clean milking equipment carefully to prevent particles entering the vat. Change filter socks regularly, particularly if residual teat sealant is visible on the filter. \r\nWithdrawal Period \r\n \r\n\r\nMILK: DO NOT USE in lactating cows or within 4 days of calving. After calving, colostrum or milk from treated dry cows MUST NOT BE USED for human consumption or processing for 96 hours (8 milkings). \r\nMEAT: Zero (0) days. \r\n\r\n "
