title: [Comparative clinical study of 2 antibiotic injectable preparations in the treatment of airway infections in veal calves].
abstract: The results of a comparative clinical study in which two injectable antibiotic preparations, containing enrofloxacin or neomycin-procaine penicillin were used, are reported. Four outbreaks of pneumonia in 186 calves on two farms were included in the study. Both preparations were used at a dose rate of 1 ml per 20 kg body weight for five, consecutive days. The clinical efficacy of both preparations was high (cure rates of 96 and 98%) and the clinical scores following treatment for each preparation were very much the same throughout the trial period. After the first treatment, more than 50% of the animals were considered to be healthy, after three treatments this percentage had increased to more than 80%.
