ACME Laboratories Veterinary Product List

This is the veterinary range from The ACME Laboratories Ltd — antibiotics, dewormers, antihistamines, vitamin and mineral supplements, probiotics and a disinfectant, for poultry, cattle, fish and pets.

The listings sit under Anti-Infective Preparations and the veterinary nutrition shelves. Everything here is for animals; ACME’s human medicines are listed separately.

Withdrawal Periods — Read This First

If the animals you treat produce eggs, milk or meat for sale or for your own table, this is the most important section on the page.

A withdrawal period is the time that must pass between the last dose and the day the produce can be used. It exists because residues remain in the body after treatment, and it is set for each product, each species and each route of administration.

Where to find it

On the pack insert and nowhere else. It is not a general rule that can be carried across from one antibiotic to another, and it is not something to estimate.

It applies to eggs and milk, not only meat

Eggs laid during treatment and for the stated days afterwards are discarded, and so is milk. That is the part most often overlooked, because the animal looks well and is producing normally.

Write down the date

Note the last day of treatment and count forward from it. Where several animals are treated on different days, they clear on different days, and an undocumented treatment is the usual reason a batch becomes unsaleable.

Antibiotics

• Doxy-A Vet — the most opened listing on the brand by a wide margin.
• Mel-Vet 10ml and Peflox Vet
• Fast-Vet Sachet and Sulphavet
• Cefqueen Vet 225 IM/IV and a higher-strength Cefqueen vial beside it
• Tropin Vet Injection 10ml and Tulavet 5ml Injection

Under Anti-Bacterial, with combination products on the neighbouring shelf.

Complete the course at the stated dose

An under-dosed or shortened antibiotic course is worse than none: it leaves the resistant organisms behind and selects for them. Birds and animals often look better well before the infection is cleared.

Calculate the dose on actual body weight, not on an estimate, and re-weigh rather than assuming the figure from the last treatment still applies.

IM and IV are not interchangeable

Where a label states a route, that is the route. An intramuscular product given intravenously, or the reverse, can cause serious harm, and injection technique and site matter for both the animal and the carcass.

Get a diagnosis before reaching for an antibiotic

Many of the problems antibiotics are used for in poultry and livestock are viral, parasitic or environmental, and an antibiotic does nothing for any of those. A vet, or a qualified livestock officer, is the person to decide.

Combination Antibacterials

• Enrovet Liquid 100ml and Eraplus Vet WSP 100gm
• Amflor Vet Plus 10ml Inj and Tulavet 10ml Injection

Under Anti-Bacterial Combination. WSP means water-soluble powder, made up and given through the drinking water.

Dewormers and Ectoparasite Treatment

• Benazol Vet 100ml and Benazol Vet 10ml — under Anti-Helminthic.
• A-Mectin Vet Pour On Drop and A-Mectin Plus Vet Injection 5ml

A pour-on and an injection are not the same treatment

The pour-on is applied along the back and absorbed through the skin; the injection is given by a different route at a different dose and clears at a different rate. They carry different withdrawal periods and cannot be substituted for each other.

Do not deworm on a fixed calendar out of habit

Treating every animal at fixed intervals whether or not they need it is the fastest route to resistance, and worm resistance to the common classes is already a serious problem. A vet can advise on when and what to treat based on what is actually there.

Antihistamines and Anti-Allergy Injections

• A-Xyla Vet Injection 30ml and A-Xyla Vet Injection 10ml
• Asta-Vet 10ml Injection and Phenadryl Vet Injection 10ml
• Steron Vet Plus Injection 10ml and Steron Vet Plus Injection 30ml
• Lufresh Vet 100ml

Under Antihistaminic within Anti-Allergy Preparations.

A product whose name includes a steroid component carries the cautions that go with steroids in animals. They should not be used in pregnancy without advice, they can mask the signs of a worsening infection, and prolonged use has effects of its own. A vet decides when one is appropriate.

Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements

• Zis-Vet 100ml and Zis-Vet 500ml
• Vita-3 Vet and Vita-ADE Vet 20ml
• Avimax Vet 100gm — under Amino Acids, Vitamins & Minerals.
• Ativet Vet and E-Vet Plus Liquid 100ml
• Bronchovet 500ml and Bronchovet 100ml
• Hepafit Vet (Pet)

Under Vitamins & Minerals Supplement within Nutritional Preparations.

Supplements do not replace a diagnosis

A vitamin or mineral supplement supports an animal through stress, transport, vaccination or recovery. It does not treat disease, and reaching for one while a flock is visibly ill costs time that matters.

Fat-soluble vitamins can be overdone

A, D and E accumulate rather than being excreted like the B group. Dosing above the label rate, or stacking one supplement on another that contains the same vitamins, is a real risk rather than a theoretical one.

One listing here is for pets

The Hepafit listing states (Pet). A livestock preparation is not simply a larger dose of a pet one — concentrations, excipients and species clearances all differ, and the label is what settles which animal a product is for.

Probiotics, Enzymes and Aquaculture

• Prozyme Vet 100g and Zymofish Vet Premix 1Kg
• Acme’s Aqua Care Tablet 10gm — under Probiotics & Enzymes.
• Acme’s Egg Formula Vet

Enzymes help birds and fish extract more from the same feed, and probiotics support gut flora after antibiotic treatment or during stress. Some of these are aquaculture products, which is a separate business from poultry with separate conditions.

Mixing a powder or premix evenly

A small quantity cannot be scattered into a full sack and expected to distribute. Combine it thoroughly with a few kilograms of feed first and work that mixture through the rest in stages.

Uneven mixing is the usual explanation when a correctly chosen product appears not to work, and with anything dosed by weight it also means some animals get far more than intended.

Dosing Through Water

Several products here are given in drinking water, and a few practical points decide whether the dose actually reaches the birds.

Make it fresh, and only what will be drunk

Medicated water is prepared for each dosing period rather than left standing. Work out consumption for that period and mix that volume, so the full dose is taken and nothing is wasted.

Withhold water beforehand where the label says so

Some protocols ask for a short period without water so the medicated supply is drunk promptly. Follow the label rather than improvising, and never withhold water in hot weather beyond what it states.

Clean the line afterwards

Residue in drinkers and pipes builds up, harbours bacteria and interferes with the next treatment. Flushing the system after a course is part of the treatment rather than an extra.

The Species on the Label Is a Limit

Doses are set by species and by body weight, and clearance differs enormously between a chicken, a cow, a goat and a fish.

A product cleared for one species is not automatically safe in another, and some actives that are routine in one animal are toxic in another. Cats and some other species are particularly sensitive to drugs that are unremarkable elsewhere.

Where a label does not name the species you keep, that is a question for a vet rather than a judgement to make on the farm.

Storage and Disinfection

Acme’s BKC Solution 100ml is a disinfectant for premises and equipment rather than a treatment for an animal.

Dilute it exactly as the label states. Too weak and it does nothing; too strong wastes product and can irritate skin and airways. Clean surfaces first, because organic matter inactivates most disinfectants before they reach anything.

Keep every product here in its original labelled container, out of reach of children, away from feed, and within its expiry date. An unlabelled bottle on a farm is a hazard to people as well as to animals.

Is There a PDF of the Veterinary Product List?

Not here, and a fixed document would be out of date almost as soon as it was issued.

The grid above is generated from live stock, so it shows what can actually be ordered today, with the current pack size and price on each listing. Registrations change and availability changes; a file does not.

If you need something written to take to a vet or a supplier, the grid prints, and each listing has its own page.

Where ACME Veterinary Sits on Arogga

This page collects one manufacturer’s veterinary range. The shelves collect one kind of preparation across manufacturers, which is the comparison worth making when a vet names a class rather than a brand.

Several products here come in more than one size, and both the pack and the stock position move, so the listing is what to trust.

About the ACME Veterinary Range

The ACME Laboratories Ltd is one of Bangladesh’s larger pharmaceutical manufacturers, and this is its animal health division. The human range is listed separately and the two should not be confused.

Antibiotics are the deepest part of the catalogue, followed by vitamin and mineral supplements and a set of antihistamine injections. Dewormers, probiotics, aquaculture products and a disinfectant complete it.

It is searched as ACME Vet, ACME Animal Health and ACME Agrovet, and in Bangla as একমি ভেটেরিনারি ঔষধের তালিকা. All of those reach this list.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long after treatment can eggs or milk be used?

Only the pack insert answers that. The withdrawal period differs by product, species and route, and it cannot be carried across from one antibiotic to another. Note the last day of treatment and count forward from it.

2. Is there a PDF of the product list?

No. The grid above is generated from live stock and shows what can be ordered today with current pack sizes, which a static file cannot. It prints if you need a written copy for a vet or supplier.

3. Can I use a poultry product on cattle or goats?

Not unless the label names that species. Doses are set by species and body weight, clearance differs enormously, and some actives that are routine in one animal are toxic in another. Where the label is silent, ask a vet.

4. Can I shorten an antibiotic course if the birds look better?

No. An under-dosed or shortened course leaves resistant organisms behind and selects for them, and animals often look well before the infection has cleared. Dose on actual body weight, not an estimate.

5. How do I mix a powder evenly into feed?

Combine it thoroughly with a few kilograms of feed first, then work that mixture through the rest in stages. A small quantity scattered into a full sack does not distribute, and uneven mixing means some animals get far more than intended.

6. How should medicated water be prepared?

Fresh for each dosing period, in the volume the birds will actually drink in that time, so the full dose is taken. Flush drinkers and lines after the course — residue harbours bacteria and interferes with the next treatment.

7. Is a pour-on the same as the injection?

No. They use different routes and doses, clear at different rates and carry different withdrawal periods, so one cannot be substituted for the other. The label states which is which.

8. একমি ভেটেরিনারি ঔষধের তালিকা কোথায় পাবো?

উপরের গ্রিডেই একমি ভেটেরিনারি রেঞ্জের পণ্যগুলো দেখা যাবে — আলাদা কোনো পিডিএফ দেওয়া হয় না, কারণ স্টক বদলালেও ফাইল বদলায় না। ডিম, দুধ বা মাংসের ক্ষেত্রে উইথড্রয়াল পিরিয়ড অবশ্যই প্যাকের নির্দেশনা দেখে মানতে হবে।
