While nutrition has historically been considered the appropriate amount of nutrients needed for energy, to maintain weight and promote growth, the majority of dietary effects may actually occur in ways that are, in fact, not always obvious to the naked eye. This is until there is evidence of a health concern. But what is consumed through the daily diet really begins by influencing at the level of the cell and has a profound effect on each and every living animal. What the horse consumes has the ability to benefit so many areas of health, including immunity, athletic performance, reproduction, metabolism, longevity and more. But what the horse takes in daily also has the ability to interfere or take away from the health and well-being of the animal.

Oxtra DD 100 mg/ml Oxytetracycline

Oxtra DD is an antibiotic for the treatment of infections caused by oxytetracycline-sensitive organisms. Oxtra DD is a solution for injection for horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and cats. 

What is Oxtra DD?

Oxtra DD is a bacteriostatic antibiotic with high bioavailability and a broad antibacterial spectrum of action covering both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Oxtra DD gives good concentrations both in deep tissue and intracellularly. 

Oxytetracycline inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria. It binds to the receptors on subunit 30S which prevents the addition of amino acids to the growing peptide chain, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis.    

Oxtra DD can be administered intramuscularly every 24 hours thanks to its special formulation, either at low doses or at higher doses
