Four field studies were conducted comparing the efficacy of a single dose of DRAXXIN (2.5 mg/kg) to Nuflor® (40 mg/kg) or Micotil®
(10 mg/kg) as first-line BRD treatments. The studies were conducted in Nebraska, Colorado (2 studies) and Texas feedlot locations, with 800 crossbred
feeder steers.1
DRAXXIN was significantly more effective than Nuflor in treating BRD (Figure 2 and Figure 3).

First-treatment success was significantly higher in cattle treated with DRAXXIN in all four studies. |
|
|
| • |
Chronics and mortalities (BRD removals), in cattle treated with DRAXXIN, were lower than in the cattle that received
Nuflor. In one study, the difference was significant (P=0.001).1 In another study, no statistical difference in chronics and
mortalities was observed.1

| DRAXXIN was significantly more effective than Micotil in treating BRD in 1 of 2 feeder cattle studies.1 |
|
|
| • |
First-treatment success, for cattle treated with DRAXXIN, was significantly higher (P=0.0002) than for cattle that received
Micotil, in 1 (CO) of 2 studies, and numerically higher in the second (P >0.05) (Figure 4 and Figure 5 respectively). |
|
| • |
Chronics and mortalities (BRD removals), in cattle treated with DRAXXIN, were significantly lower than in the group that received
Micotil, from days 3 to 28 and from days 3 to close, in 1 of 2 field studies (P=0.025, P=0.014 respectively). |
