SELECT CARRIER is a patented vehicle that delivers oxytetracycline to the bloodstream, minimizing costly injection-site lesions. In a head-to-head study, BIO-MYCIN 200 showed reduced tissue damage in cattle after injection when compared to Nuflor® (florfenicol), Micotil® (tilmicosin injection), Liquamycin® LA-200® (oxytetracycline injection) or Noromycin® 300 LA (oxytetracycline injection).1
