ToDAY Mastitis Treatment is a intramammary antibiotic used to treat clinical and sub-clinical mastitis in lactating dairy cows.

Timing: Administer at the first signs of inflammation or the first indication of any alteration in the milk.
Diagnosis: Indicated when the California Mastitis Test (CMT) or other tests indicate an elevated leukocyte count (somatic cell count).
Target Bacteria: Effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative mastitis-causing pathogens.
Administration: Intramammary infusion of one 10 mL syringe per infected quarter, repeated 12 hours later.

Completely milk out the infected quarter(s). Then, clean the udder and teats, scrubbing the teat end with a 70% alcohol pad.
For partial insertion, twist off the top of the Opti-Sert cap. For full insertion, remove the entire cap.
Gently insert the tip into the teat canal and expel the entire contents of the syringe.
After withdrawing the syringe, gently massage the quarter upward to distribute the medication.
Administer one syringe per infected quarter, repeating only once after 12 hours. Do not milk the treated quarter for at least 12 hours after infusion.
Milk must be discarded for 96 hours after the last treatment, and animals cannot be slaughtered for food for 4 days after the final dose.
