The Rural Voice, 1989-08, Page 61WHAT'S NEW PRODUCT TREATS CATTLE DISEASE A new treatment for respiratory dis- eases in cattle has been introduced to the Canadian market. Synergistin, sold by rogar/STB Inc., is a combination of sulbactam and ampicillin. Ampicillin is a broad-spec- trum semi -synthetic penicillin. Sulbac- tam is a penicillin derivative which destroys penicillinase, bacteria's de- fense mechanism against penicillin - type antibiotics. No other antibiotic or combination of antibiotics currently used for cattle has the ability to break this bacterial defense mechanism down, says rogar/ STB Inc. Synergistin is manufactured in Can- ada and is available in 100 mL vials at your local veterinary clinic.0 BAGGER PRESERVES MOST BULK FEEDS The new Rampack Bulk Bagger from Hurst offers farmers a simple, inexpensive way to store and preserve most bulk feeds, including high mois- ture corn, hay, and straw. The Bulk Bagger is based on the same principle as the Rampak Bale Bagger which Hurst introduced four years ago. The material is loaded into a collector bin and packed into 100 -foot lengths of polyethylene tubing by a hydraulically operated piston. Using this method, large quantities of bulk feed can be stored safely, quickly, and economically, and at qual- ity levels equal to the best sealed silo results.
