Name:

Compound VB Injection

Common Capacity:

• 50ml; 100ml per bottle
• 500ml; 1000ml per bottle
• 20ml/30ml/50ml (when combined with other compounds)

Applicable Animals:

Global Livestock Application:

• Pigs: Piglets, growing pigs, breeding sows, boars (for growth, immunity, stress prevention, and nerve function).
• Poultry: Chickens, ducks, turkeys (for growth, egg production, stress prevention, and metabolic support).
• Cattle: Calves, adult cattle (for growth, fertility, recovery from illness, and metabolic disorders).
• Sheep & Goats: Lambs, adult sheep/goats (for general health, stress, and specific deficiencies related to energy metabolism).
• Aquatic Animals: Fish, shrimp (for growth, disease resistance, metabolic functions).
• Special Farming: Rabbits, mink, foxes, horses  (for overall health, energy metabolism, and specific deficiencies).
• Pets: Dogs, cats (for general health, nerve function, and specific deficiencies).

Usage and Dosage:

Compound VB Injections are primarily used to prevent or treat deficiencies of B vitamins, support energy metabolism, improve nerve function, and aid recovery from stress or illness. The exact dosage depends on the specific formulation (the types and concentrations of B vitamins included, and other active ingredients), animal species, age, weight, and the animal’s nutritional status or health condition. Always consult a veterinarian for precise dosage recommendations.

General Guidelines (example components found in references):

• For Injection Solution (Intramuscular/Subcutaneous):
  • Specific formulations might include ingredients like Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) , Vitamin B15, and potentially other B vitamins.
  • Dosages are highly variable based on the concentration of active ingredients and the animal’s needs.
  • Large Animals (Cattle, Horses): Typically 10-20 ml per animal per dose. For specific racing horse formulations, components like Vitamin B12 can be 10mcg per ML , or B15 0.2mg/ml .
  • Medium Animals (Pigs, Sheep, Goats): Typically 5-10 ml per animal per dose.
  • Small Animals (Poultry, Rabbits, Calves, Piglets): Typically 1-5 ml per animal per dose.
  • Pets (Dogs, Cats): Doses vary greatly by body weight, usually 0.5-2 ml.
  • Frequency: Doses can be single or repeated every few days, depending on the need and severity of deficiency.
• Growth Stages (Example for common species):
  • Young/Growing Animals: Often used to support rapid growth and development by ensuring efficient energy metabolism.
  • Adult Animals: Used for maintenance, preventing deficiencies during periods of high demand (e.g., breeding, lactation), stress periods, or during recovery from illness.
  • Breeding Animals: Crucial for reproductive health, fetal development, and maintaining stamina.

Applicable Diseases and Symptoms:

Compound VB Injections are supportive therapies, not direct antibacterial agents. They address or prevent conditions related to B vitamin deficiencies, metabolic stress, and support overall animal health:

• B Vitamin Deficiencies:
  • Anemia: Particularly megaloblastic anemia related to Vitamin B12 deficiency .
  • Neurological disorders: Conditions affecting nerve function, as B vitamins (especially B1, B6, B12) are vital for the nervous system.
  • Metabolic disturbances: Impaired energy utilization, reduced appetite, and poor growth due to deficiencies in B vitamins involved in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism.
• Stress Conditions: During transportation, intense training (e.g., racing horses), vaccination, deworming, or changes in feed, which can increase vitamin requirements.
• Convalescence: To aid recovery from bacterial, viral, or parasitic diseases by supporting metabolism and immunity.
• Stimulating Appetite and Growth: To improve feed intake and conversion efficiency, especially in young or recovering animals.
• Other Specific Combinations: Some formulations may include other active ingredients like Dexamethasone, Flumethasone, Phenylbutazone , or ATP , suggesting use for inflammation, pain, or energy support alongside B vitamins.

Precautions:

• Allergy/Hypersensitivity: Although rare, some animals may exhibit allergic reactions to certain vitamins or excipients. Monitor animals after administration.
• Injection Site Reactions: Transient swelling or discomfort at the injection site may occur. Ensure proper aseptic technique during administration.
• Overdosing: Water-soluble B vitamins are generally safe due to rapid excretion, but extremely high doses might rarely lead to adverse effects. Follow recommended dosages strictly.
• Drug Interactions: Be cautious when co-administering with other medications. Certain drugs can interfere with B vitamin absorption or metabolism. Consult a veterinarian about potential interactions.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dark place, protected from light. Keep out of reach of children.
• Withdrawal Period: B vitamins themselves typically do not have withdrawal periods. However, if the compound injection contains other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) like corticosteroids or NSAIDs , their respective withdrawal periods must be strictly observed.

Contraindications:

• Known Hypersensitivity: Do not use in animals with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
• Specific Disease States: In some cases, specific B vitamins might be contraindicated or require adjusted doses for certain health conditions (e.g., certain neurological conditions might require careful vitamin balancing).

Post-Treatment Care:

• Observe for Adverse Reactions: Monitor animals for any signs of allergic reactions (e.g., rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) or adverse injection site reactions.
• Maintain Good Husbandry: Ensure animals have access to clean water, balanced feed, and a comfortable environment to maximize the benefits of vitamin supplementation.
• Monitor Clinical Response: Assess if the animal’s condition improves as expected. If the underlying signs of deficiency or stress persist, consult a veterinarian about further diagnostic and treatment options.
• Record Keeping: Maintain accurate records of all treatments, including drug name, dosage, date, route of administration, and animal identification.
