Is Baytril used in other countries?
Baytril is approved for sale in 25 countries, including member states of the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) for use in beef cattle. It is also approved for use in beef cattle in New Zealand and Finland under stringent conditions similar to Canada. Over the last few years, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has held public hearings on the safety of enrofloxacin for use in poultry following the Center for Veterinary Medicine’s proposal to withdraw approval for the use of this product in drinking water for poultry. Public health concerns raised in the US have focussed on the use of Baytril in poultry production and not on its use in beef cattle.
