THYMOL & PHYTOMAST

​

  • Thymol is a well-known compound and its use in veterinary medicine is found in many textbooks and product catalogues dating back to 1900. 

  • Thymol has been used primarily as a disinfectant due to its antibacterial properties. Thymol has also been included in veterinary formulas against parasitism (internal and external), fungal skin infections, upper respiratory issues and dental needs.

  • Thymol is an active ingredient in the Haver-Glover product of 1928 sold for cows and called “H-G Intramammary Disinfectant” (A Manual Of Veterinary Therapeutics. Haver-Glover Laboratories, Kansas City, MO 1928, pg. 98). On this basis, PhytoMast with Thymol is presented for drying-off cows.

  • Thymol is considered GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe).

  • PhytoMast with its active ingredient of thymol has had its pharmacokinetics, milk and meat residues, in-vitro efficacy, and clinical efficacy for dairy cows and goats written up in 8 peer-reviewed journal publications (including the Journal of Dairy Science) and studied in-depth for a successful PHD.

  • PhytoMast is a phytoceutical (type of plant medicine). Because of the multitude of biochemicals in any plant, there is a near zero chance of antibiotic resistance. Not culturing milk and checking for appropriate antibiotic selection and then continually using the same antibiotic to dry-off cows goes against basic medical principles and leads to antibiotic resistance. 

  • PhytoMast does NOT trigger the Delvotest P nor Charm SL Beta-lactam tests, which are commonly used to check for antibiotic residues.

  • PhytoMast is manufactured and packaged in the USA. (Many products for dry-off are manufactured in India and China.)

  • PhytoMast is OMRI approved.
