Efficacy of tylosin phosphate for liver abscess control in feedlot cattle, by treatment duration: a Bayesian network meta-analysis supported by a randomized trial

Share:
Young et al. found that "Continuous cattle had reduced odds of severe (A+) [liver abscesses] LAs compared to NC cattle in the randomized trial (odds ratio = 0.75; 95% CI, 0.51-1.11). The [Bayesian network meta-analysis] NMA suggested tylosin use was superior in reducing LAs when compared to untreated cattle. However, early withdrawal did not have equivalent efficacy compared to continuous use."
