  The recommended dose is 3.75 grams TUCOPRIM Powder per 50 kg (110 lbs) body weight per day. Each level, loose-filled scoop contains approximately 15 grams which is sufficient to treat 200 kg (440 lbs) of body weight. Since product contents may settle, gentle agitation during scooping is recommended. Administer orally once a day in a small amount of palatable feed.

  The usual course of treatment is a single, daily dose for five to seven days. Continue acute infection therapy for two or three days after clinical signs have subsided. If no improvement of acute infections is seen in three to five days, re-evaluate diagnosis.

  Trimethoprim/sulfadiazine may be used alone or in conjunction with intravenous dosing. Following treatment with trimethoprim/sulfadiazine 48% Injection, therapy can be maintained using oral powder.

  A complete blood count should be done periodically in patients receiving trimethoprim/sulfadiazine for prolonged periods. If significant reduction in the count of any formed blood element is noted, treatment with trimethoprim/sulfadiazine should be discontinued.

  Treatment of BRD and bovine foot rot

  Administer as a single subcutaneous injection in the posterior aspect of the ear where it attaches to the head (base of the ear) to cattle at a dosage of 3.0 mg ceftiofur equivalents (CE)/lb (6.6 mg CE/kg) body weight (BW) (1.5 mL sterile suspension per 100 lb BW).

  In beef and non-lactating dairy cattle, EXCEDE Sterile Suspension may also be administered as a single subcutaneous injection in the middle third of the posterior aspect of the ear at a dosage of 3.0 mg CE/lb (6.6 mg CE/kg) BW (1.5 mL sterile suspension per 100 lb BW).

  Most animals will respond to treatment within three to five days. If no improvement is observed, the diagnosis should be reevaluated.

  Control of BRD

  Administer as a subcutaneous injection either in the middle third of the posterior aspect of the ear or in the posterior aspect of the ear where it attaches to the head (base of the ear) to beef and non-lactating dairy cattle at a dosage of 3.0 mg CE/lb (6.6 mg CE/kg) BW (1.5 mL sterile suspension per 100 lb BW).

  Clinical studies indicate that administration of EXCEDE Sterile Suspension is effective for the control of respiratory disease in beef and non-lactating dairy cattle at "high risk" of developing BRD. One or more of the following factors typically characterizes calves on arrival at high risk of developing BRD.

  Cattle are from multiple farm origins, cattle have had extended transport times (that may have included few if any rest stops), ambient temperature change from origin to arrival of 30° F or more, cattle have had continued exposure to extremely wet or cold weather conditions, cattle have experienced excessive shrink or excessive arrival processing procedures (such as castration, dehorning).

  Treatment of Acute Metritis

  Administer as a subcutaneous injection in the posterior aspect of the ear where it attaches to the head (base of the ear) to lactating dairy cattle at a dosage of 3.0 mg CE/lb (6.6 mg CE/kg) BW (1.5 mL sterile suspension per 100 lb BW). Repeat this dose in the contra-lateral (opposite) ear approximately 72 hours following the initial dose.

  ADMINISTRATION FOR THE MIDDLE THIRD OF THE EAR

  Shake well before using. Please read the complete package insert before administering EXCEDE Sterile Suspension subcutaneously in the posterior ear of cattle. Deposit as a single subcutaneous injection in the middle third of the posterior aspect of the ear, avoiding all blood vessels. See Figures 2 and 3. Adjust the needle insertion point to avoid any blood vessels, previous implants, ear tags or ear tag holes. Do not administer intra-arterially. Deliver the entire contents of the syringe. When administered correctly, a subcutaneous bleb of EXCEDE Sterile Suspension will appear. When withdrawing the needle, apply pressure to the needle insertion point, and massage toward the base of the ear.

  In lactating dairy cattle the injection techniques for subcutaneous (SC) injection in the posterior aspect of the ear where it attaches to the head (base of the ear) can be made by the rostral or ventral injection techniques.

  In beef and non-lactating dairy cattle the SC injection in the base of the ear can be made by the rostral, ventral or toward the opposite eye injection techniques.

  Shake well before using. Please read the complete package insert before administering EXCEDE Sterile Suspension subcutaneously in the posterior aspect of the ear where it attaches to the head (base of the ear). The subcutaneous (SC) injection may be made using the toward the opposite eye, rostral, or ventral techniques. Hold the syringe and needle and insert the needle as described below. Deliver the entire contents of the syringe. Do not administer EXCEDE Sterile Suspension in the neck.

  Administration for the Base of the Ear: Toward the Opposite Eye Technique

  Hold the syringe and needle behind the ear to be dosed so the needle and syringe point in the direction of an imaginary line that would pass through the head toward the animal's opposite eye. See Figures 4 and 5. Insert the needle through the loose skin in the posterior aspect of the ear where it attaches to the head (base of the ear) while maintaining this angle. See Figure 4.

  Administration for the Base of Ear: Toward the Same Eye Technique or Rostral Direction

  Hold the syringe and needle behind the ear to be dosed so the needle and syringe point in the direction of an imaginary line that would pass through the head toward the eye on the same side of the head. See Figures 5 and 6. Insert the needle through the loose skin in the posterior aspect of the ear where it attaches to the head (base of the ear) while maintaining the needle position. See Figure 6.

  Figure 6. Diagram of head showing the direction for the base of ear injections administered rostrally toward the eye on the same side of the head into the loose skin in the caudal aspect of the base of the ear.

  Administration for Base of the Ear: Ventral Technique

  Hold the syringe and needle above the ear to be dosed so that the needle and syringe are pointing ventrally toward the base of the ear. The needle will be inserted into the loose skin in the posterior aspect of the ear where it attaches to the head (base of the ear) while pointing ventrally. Care should be taken to not insert the needle through the cartilage of the ear. See Figure 7. Insert the needle through the loose skin in the posterior aspect of the ear where it attaches to the head (base of the ear) while maintaining needle position. See Figure 7.
