For many years, the technology of PulseVet and its predecessor VersaTron, has been used successfully in the treatment of horses. The therapy has proven effective in several clinical trials to treat many indications, including wounds, tendon injuries, back pain and fractures.

The PulseVet technology 

PulseVet uses electrohydraulic sound waves, these focused and high-energy shock waves can reach deep tissue. Locally, these waves trigger a tissue reaction. Multiple proteins, osteogenic and angiogenic growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines are released in the tissue. Bone and tissue growth are stimulated. In addition, the formation of new blood vessels leads to increased local blood flow. These processes inhibit inflammation and promote recovery.

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

Oxtra DD is a bacteriostatic antibiotic with high bioavailability and a broad antibacterial spectrum that includes both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Oxtra DD achieves effective concentrations both in deep tissues and intracellularly. Oxytetracycline inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible bacteria by binding to the receptors on the 30S subunit, preventing the addition of amino acids to the growing peptide chain, thereby halting protein synthesis.

Thanks to its special formulation, Oxtra DD can be administered intramuscularly every 24 hours, either in a low dosage or in a higher dosage for prolonged action (in cattle, sheep, and pigs). Unlike most injectable oxytetracyclines, Oxtra DD can also be safely administered intravenously.

What to expect in weaning season

Aside from the lactating mare, the growing foal is the most demanding life stage in terms of nutrition. After foaling, the mare’s milk is perfect nutrition for the new foal that provides energy, protein and other essential nutrients to support healthy growth and development. After about two to three months, milk production begins to taper and additional nutrients will be needed by the foal to support his rapidly growing body. Young, growing horses seem to be able to adapt to a wide variety of nutritional management systems. The keys to any feeding program for developing horses is the same: to provide adequate, balanced nutrients and nurture a moderate, even rate of growth.

As is true for all mammals, the importance of the mother’s milk from birth through weaning is indisputable. While still nursing, a foal will relatively quickly take an interest in sampling forage. This early testing of forage will kick-start the development
