BANAMINE® TRANSDERMAL

CONTROL PAIN ASSOCIATED
WITH FOOT ROT.

BANAMINE® TRANSDERMAL was determined to be safe and efficacious in controlling pain associated with foot rot.

TRIAL SETUP

  • Field studies in two states with 30 steers weighing between 717 and 1,085 pounds.
  • Animals experimentally induced with foot rot infection in the right front limb.
  • After 48 hours, animals given either BANAMINE TRANSDERMAL (3 mL per 100 pounds) or placebo. No antimicrobials were administered.
  • Considered a treatment success if the lameness score decreased by more or equal to one point.

RESULTS

  • At Site 1, lameness score treatment success was 100%, compared to 6.67% in the placebo group. Mean change in maximum total force and mean change in contact area were significantly different (p=0.0001) and higher in the flunixin transdermal solution-treated group.
  • At Site 2, lameness treatment success was 93.3%, compared to 53.3% for the placebo group. Mean change in maximum total force and mean change in contact area were significantly different (p=0.0002 and p<0.0001, respectively) and higher in the flunixin transdermal solution-treated group.

The marked increases in both maximum total force and total contact area at both study sites were clinically interpreted as animals able to plant their affected foot in a more normal fashion and bear more weight on the affected limb, supporting clinical improvement in lameness as a result of less pain.

An innovation in Pain Control
