How does Nuflor (florfenicol) compare to Micotil (tilmicosin)?
A. Nuflor has a broader spectrum of activity than Micotil. This is especially important for high-risk calves, since they can arrive at the feedyard with infections by mixed bacteria. Nuflor, Sub-Q or IM, is labeled to treat all three major bacterial causes of BRD. Micotil is not labeled for P. multocida or H. somnus. The approved dosage regimens for Nuflor provide 4 full days of therapy with one course of treatment, while Micotil provides 3 days of therapy.
