Proper
Injection Procedures |
The decision to administer
injectable medications should be made after comparing the
benefits and the risks of doing so. Your veterinarian is the
best source of advice on maximizing the benefits of
treatment and reducing the risk of problems. Remember:
- All intramuscular injections
reduce meat tenderness at the injection site;
- Give intramuscular injections
only in the neck muscles. Never give an intramuscular
injection in the rear leg or rump regardless of the
animal's age or use;
- Use only injectable products
that meet Beef Quality Assurance guidelines;
- Use subcutaneous products
whenever possible and avoid injectable medications that
are irritating to tissues.
When used correctly, medications improve animal health
and well-being, increase profitability and provide the
consumer with a higher quality food product.
Proper injection sites for subcutaneous or
intramuscular injections in cattle of all ages.
