It is also important for working cattle in a manner which will minimize the possibility of damage to the animal and to reduce the risk of injection site reactions. The label will provide an acceptable route of administration. The label may specify only one route of administration or it may give options. The best location for an injection is not necessarily the one that is the most convenient to get to. The best location is where the product will be most beneficial without the risk of damaging expensive cuts of meat or injuring the animal.
Sanitation is essential.
Make sure the injection site is clean and free of mud and manure. Also try to avoid injecting into damp or wet cattle. Collect used needles in a rigid plastic container. Dispose of them by presenting container to a sanitary landfill representative or by returning them to your veterinarian. Destroy disposable syringes so they cannot be reused or misused.
