Pharmacokinetics of two dry-cow intramammary antimicrobials in dairy goats

Abstract

There are currently no intramammary antimicrobials approved for use goats in the United States. However, mastitis – both clinical and subclinical – is a major challenge for dairy goat producers. Determining plasma pharmacokinetic parameters of various intramammary antimicrobials in goats can assist in treatment recommendations and meat and milk withhold recommendations.
