SPECIAL WARNINGS
Velactis should be used as part of a comprehensive mastitis and milk
quality control program under
veterinarian advice, which might include the need to use intramammary
treatment.
For cows considered likely to be free of subclinical mastitis at
drying off, in which antibiotic use is
not justified/permitted, Velactis can be used as a dry cow treatment.
The cows should be diagnosed to
be free of subclinical mastitis by using suitable criteria such as
bacterial examination of milk, somatic
cell count or other recognized tests.
In a multicentric randomized clinical trial where dairy cows with no
intramammary infections at the
time of drying-off were administered either Velactis or placebo at the
time of drying-off, the incidence
of new intramammary infections within 7 days after subsequent calving
was significantly lower
among udder quarters of cows treated with Velactis (20.5%) as compared
to placebo (26.0%). The
difference in percentage of new intramammary infections during the dry
period between Velactis
