<strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Milk</strong><br />

CAUSES SOLUTIONS<br />

• Dry cows that have been dry-treated calve earlier than<br />

withdrawal time on label<br />

Confirm date of dry-off treatment of freshened cattle to determine<br />

whether adequate withdrawal time has been observed<br />

Consult your herd veterinarian for advice on appropriate withdrawal<br />

times<br />

Use antibiotic test kits where appropriate<br />

• Feeding medicated feeds Medicated feeds for non-lactating dairy cattle should be stored<br />

separate from the milking herd feeds<br />

Remove all traces of medicated feed from storage and feed handling<br />

equipment<br />

• Animals’ udders treated with antibiotic ointments, salves<br />

and sprays<br />

• Antibiotic residue being secreted even after the approved<br />

withdrawal time is observed<br />

• Foot baths with medicated solutions used to combat<br />

infectious diseases of the feet<br />

Use only approved products<br />

Follow recommended withdrawal times<br />

Check all treated animals with an appropriate test<br />

Use only according to a veterinarian’s prescription<br />
