* Manufacturer’s specifications ult. 2009. Blank cells do not imply not detected but just that drug is not specified
or that spec is under updating.
** Guidelines for the validation of screening methods, EU Jan 2010. Data: Wim Reybroeck, ILVO Belgium, 2010.
1 Penethamate is not stable in milk and is completely hydrolysed to penicillin G and diethylaminoethanol and so is detected
Penicillin G.
2 Metabolite of ceftiofur; approx 3% antibiotic activity compared to ceftiofur parent drug.
Store between 2 and 8°C / 35 and 46°F.
