Orbeseal Bismuth Subnitrate Non-Antibiotic Paste

Sterile, non-antibiotic paste for intramammary infusion of nonlactating cows as an aid in preventing new mastitis infections throughout the dry period by providing a malleable barrier in the teat canal. Mimics the cow’s natural first line of intramammary defense, the keratin plug. Contains bismuth subnitrate, a safe, inert sealant with a high specific gravity that allows it to sink into fissures and folds of the teat canal, forming a nearly impenetrable barrier that remains in place for 100 days or more. Results in fewer cases of mastitis. No residue, no milk withholding. Dosage and administration: After last milking at dry-off, clean and disinfect the teats with the alcohol swabs provided, then infuse the entire contents of one Orbeseal® syringe into each quarter by inserting the nozzle into the teat and applying gentle continuous pressure to the plunger until the paste is expressed.
