For the treatment of acute, chronic or subclinical bovine mastitis. POLYMAST should be used at the first signs of inflammation or at the first indication of any alteration in the milk. Subclinical infections should be treated immediately upon determining, by C.M.T. or other tests, that the leukocyte count is elevated, or that a susceptible pathogen has been cultured from the milk. POLYMAST has been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of mastitis in lactating cows caused by susceptible strains of Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Polycillin® (ampicillin) Susceptibility Test Discs, 10 mcg, should be used to estimate the in vitro susceptibility of bacteria to hetacillin.
