SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Special precautions for use in animals
Due to variability (time, geographical) in susceptibility of bacteria
to doxycycline,
bacteriological sampling and susceptibility testing of micro-organisms
from diseased
animals on farm are highly recommended.
A high resistance rate of _E.coli_ isolated from chickens, against
tetracyclines has been
documented. Therefore the product should be used for the treatment of
infections
caused by _E.coli_ only after susceptibility testing has been carried
out.
