Abstract

Abomasal ulcers occur commonly in veal calves as well as and hospitalized beef calves. One of the recognized therapeutic in­terventions for abomasal and gastric ulceration is the increase of the gastric pH. The lack of efficacy data for gastroprotec­tants, such as pantoprazole, for ulcer prevention and treatment in cattle is a health and welfare issue. The goal of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of pantoprazole administered to healthy calves.
