An easier way to treat BRD
When cattle are affected by BRD, they suffer from infection and inflammation.
Effective BRD treatment consists of an effective antibiotic to fight infection and a long-acting NSAID to relieve inflammation.
Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD)
BRD Infection and inflammation: the two go hand in hand
BRD is an infection of lungs most often caused by bacteria and/or viruses
The presence of these microorganisms in the lungs triggers inflammation
Inflammation is part of the defense mechanism, but it can also cause severe damage to the lungs along with fever, lack of appetite and pain.
To treat the bacterial infection, an antibiotic is needed, while an anti-inflammatory drug is recommended to reduce other symptoms. Now you can do both in a single shot!
Fever & Depression
Pain
Fluid in the lungs
Lung lesions

Managing BRD and reducing its negative impact on your farm
TREAT INFECTION AND Relieve INFLAMMATION IN a SINGLE DOSE
The goal of BRD treatment is to fight bacteria (antibiotic) and to relieve inflammation (anti-inflammatory)
Florfenicol: a first line low-resistance antibiotic4
TREAT INFECTION
Effective & suitable antibiotic
There are a large number of antibiotics available but some are better suited for treating BRD.
An effective antibiotic treatment against BRD should:
- Be efficient against the main bacteria involved in BRD
- Provide a fast and lasting effect after a single shot
- Penetrate well into the lungs for optimal action at the site of infection
- Minimize the development of bacteria resistance
Meloxicam: a long-acting NSAID
RELIEVE INFLAMMATION
Efficient & long-acting anti-inflammatory
Inflammation has a significant impact on recovery and productivity.
In case of BRD, an effective anti-inflammatory should:
- Act fast, to minimize the impact of inflammation
- Have a lasting effect
- Reduce fever (antipyretic) and alleviate pain (analgesic)
= florfenicol + meloxicam
