A Detailed Guide to the Application of Antibiotics in the Treatment of Snake Diseases

Livestock Farming 0 views
Antibiotics, originally called antibacterials, are metabolic products of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes. At very low concentrations they can inhibit or kill pathogenic microorganisms and systemic bacterial infections. They are one of the commonly used and indispensable high-efficiency drugs in clinical practice, and are equally applicable to the prevention and treatment of snake diseases. Practice has proven that injecting antibiotics into snake bait can not only prevent snake diseases, but also improve snake metabolism, promote growth, and raise the survival rate or feed conversion rate. Commonly used antibiotics include penicillin, erythromycin, cephalosporin, chlor

Practice has proven that injecting antibiotics into snake bait can not only prevent snake diseases, but also improve snake metabolism, promote growth, and raise the survival rate or feed conversion rate.

Commonly used antibiotics include penicillin, erythromycin, cephalosporin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, oxytetracycline and so on. When using powdered injection-form antibiotics such as penicillin and streptomycin, they should be prepared fresh for immediate use; a diluted medicinal solution must not be used after more than 24 hours.

There are now many kinds of veterinary drugs on the market, and if compatibility contraindications are not observed when treating snakes, not only will the proper preventive and therapeutic effect not be achieved, but the sick snake may also be poisoned to death. For example, tetracycline and penicillin, sulfonamides and oxytetracycline, and streptomycin and chloramphenicol have compatibility contraindications, that is, they have obvious antagonistic effects. If two or more antibiotics are used, they must be diluted separately and injected separately; they must not be mixed blindly. At the same time, pay attention to drug storage; expired and ineffective drugs must not be used on sick snakes. In summer, leftover medicinal solution should be placed in a refrigerator for later use, but it must not exceed the preparation validity period.
