They gave Baytril to poultry via the feed. Now they can't. *shrug*

dinh,
baytril is still legal for pet (pest?) that can be treated individaully. only 'flock treating' is banned.

It doesn't matter whether its legal or not, Bayer says their not going to make it anymore. Amikacin works better anyway.

I bought Naxcel last spring to have on hand, didn't have to use it this year. It is supposed to be good as well......

Gosh, you never know what you are eating do ya, I could not believe when I read this that they used this to make chickens and turkeys grow bigger.

Cool! i didn't know baytrill and cipro were pretty much the same...i can get cipro from a friend (outside the ER)...anyone know the dosage needs ?
Kidding I AM KIDDING...but you get what I mean, huh?

I am glad they banned it. Unfortunately, they will just substitute another antibiotic. They give poultry a lot of supplemental hormones too. I cringe a little every week when picking up that package of chicken in the supermarket and resolve to just slaughter a free-range yard chicken instead next week - but seldom get around to it. -steve hop kins

From what I understand only the powder and tablet forms are off the market. The injectable Baytril 50 and Baytril 100 is still being sold.

I agree Amakacin is better anyhow.
