Abstract

The objective of this dose finding-efficacy study was to evaluate the efficacy of 0.5 and 1.0 mg of ceftiofur sodium per pound body weight given IM once daily for three consecutive days for treatment of acute bacterial foot rot in cattle when compared to similar treated placebo controls. An established model that produces lesions virtually identical to naturally occurring acute foot rot was utilized for this study. The study was initiated and completed during April 1992.
