Product Description
Gentamycin 100 Injection is an aminoglycoside veterinary antibiotic designed for the treatment of bacterial infections commonly found in livestock production systems.
Gentamycin works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis, helping control susceptible Gram-negative bacterial infections affecting the respiratory and digestive systems.
On many farms, I often see bacterial disease outbreaks increase during periods of transportation stress, overcrowding, poor ventilation, sudden weather changes, or weak sanitation management.
In practical veterinary use, gentamycin products are commonly selected for respiratory and gastrointestinal bacterial infections because of their strong antibacterial activity against important livestock pathogens.
Target Animals
- Calves
- Cattle
- Goats
- Sheep
- Swine
Indications
Used for treatment of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections caused by gentamycin-sensitive bacteria, including:
- Escherichia coli (E. coli)
- Klebsiella spp.

General dosage:
- Twice daily
- 1 ml per 20–40 kg body weight
- Continue treatment for 3 days
Administration Notes
- Use sterile injection equipment
- Maintain proper injection hygiene
- Rotate injection sites when necessary
- Follow dosage recommendations carefully
On many livestock farms, early treatment combined with good ventilation and proper hygiene management often improves recovery significantly.
Side Effects
Possible side effects may include:
- Hypersensitivity reactions
- Neurotoxicity after prolonged high-dose use
- Ototoxicity
- Nephrotoxicity
Proper dosage management and veterinary supervision are important when using aminoglycoside antibiotics.
Withdrawal Period
| Product | Withdrawal Time |
|---|---|
| Meat | 7 days |
| Milk | 3 days |
Withdrawal periods should always be respected carefully before animal products enter the food chain.
How Withdrawal Periods Affect Meat and Milk Safety
Storage
- Protect from light
- Store in a cool dry place
- Store below 25°C
- Keep out of reach of children
Proper storage conditions are especially important in hot-climate livestock markets to maintain veterinary medicine stability.
How to Store Veterinary Medicines in Hot Climates
Precautions
- Use only under veterinary guidance
- Avoid prolonged high-dose administration
- Follow correct dosage recommendations
- Respect withdrawal periods carefully
- Use sterile injection equipment
- Monitor animals for adverse reactions
Good farm biosecurity, clean drinking water, stress reduction, and proper ventilation are also important for reducing bacterial disease outbreaks in livestock farms.

FAQ
What infections can Gentamycin 100 Injection treat?
It is commonly used for respiratory and gastrointestinal bacterial infections caused by gentamycin-sensitive bacteria.
Why is gentamycin commonly used on livestock farms?
Gentamycin has strong antibacterial activity against important Gram-negative bacteria commonly found in livestock production systems.
Can prolonged use cause side effects?
Yes. High or prolonged application may increase risks of neurotoxicity, ototoxicity, or nephrotoxicity.
Why are withdrawal periods important?
Withdrawal periods help prevent antibiotic residues from remaining in meat and milk intended for human consumption.
Why are respiratory infections common on farms?
Poor ventilation, transportation stress, overcrowding, and weak sanitation systems often increase bacterial disease pressure in livestock operations.
