“Curly,” the hereford steer (#351) you are planning to take to the fair next
month, is lame in the left front leg. Today your veterinarian has diagnosed the
steer’s problem as foot rot and has given it an initial treatment at the time of the examination. The veterinarian has left additional
prescribed medication with you to continue the treatment. The directions on the medication tell you to give the steer 1 cc per 50
pounds body weight once daily for 4 days, beginning tomorrow, and to give it by intramuscular injection. Your steer weighs 1,000
pounds. Remember, your veterinarian treated the steer today, April 3, around 4:00 p.m. and you will treat it 4 more days as
directed. The hold time on this product is 14 days.

Today is February 5. At the afternoon milking today, you notice the right front
quarter on cow #28, a 1,200 pound Holstein, has abnormal milk. You saw
several flakes and thick milk on the strip plate while preparing the cow for milking. You decide she has mastitis. The udder feels
normal as is the cow’s temperature and appetite. At the end of the milking, you medicate the right front quarter using an over-the-
counter (OTC) intramammary infusion product called SUPER-MAST™. The time of the treatment is 6:00 p.m. The label of the
product is seen below. You mark the cow as treated by attaching a red leg band to the rear leg. Fill out the treatment record for
today’s treatment.

Situation Statement
Today is May 12. You notice several of the flock of 20 White Leghorn pullets you
purchased 3 weeks ago have a discharge today from their nostrils, watery eyes,
and are coughing. These are the only chickens you have. The flock did not eat nearly as much feed the past day as usual. Because
you could tell your chickens are sick, you take two to the local veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment of the illness. The veteri-
narian diagnoses the condition as a respiratory infection called air sacculitis and tells you that, while he does not carry the needed
medication, Superbiotic™, it is available as an over-the-counter (OTC) drug at the nearby farm supply center. He tells you to
medicate the chickens’ drinking water starting today, continue for a total of 4 days, and replace the medicated water with clear
water on the morning of May 16. Complete the treatment record for May 15.

FEEDING DIRECTIONS
FEED DAIRY CONCENTRATE AS THE CONCENTRATE PORTION OF THE DAIRY
RATION. THIS CONCENTRATE IS INTENDED FOR USE WHEN THE ROUGHAGE
PORTION OF THE DIET CONSISTS OF 60% OR MORE CORN SILAGE (ON A
DRY MATTER BASIS). THIS FEED CONTAINS IN ADDITION TO OTHER
NUTRIENTS, 0.7 PPM SELENIUM. INTAKE OF SELENIUM SHOULD NOT
EXCEED 0.3 PPM ON A COMPLETE FEED BASIS, THEREFORE, THIS
CONCENTRATE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 42.8% OF THE TOTAL RATION. PROVIDE
CLEAN, FRESH WATER FREE CHOICE AT ALL TIMES. SALT MAY BE FED FOR
FREE CHOICE CONSUMPTION.
DAIRY CONCENTRATE FEEDS ARE FORMULATED TO REGULATE THE AMOUNT
OF BOTH SOLUBLE AND INSOLUBLE PROTEIN AND TO REGULATE THE
AMOUNT OF NON-STRUCTURAL CARBOHYDRATES.
