Dawa Neupe (White Drug)
Category: Livestock | Date: Mar 25 2007 | By: admin
‘Uko na dawa neupe?’ (Do you have a white drug?). Penicillin in the form of Penstrep (penicillin and streptomycine) is commonly referred to as ‘white drug’ here in the Maasai land. It is antibiotic but most people use it for completely different purpose. People believe that it is an aphrodisiac due to physical appearance of the drug. Well, solution is white and viscous. They say it looks like semen. People inject penstrep just before bull is about to mount a cow. Yes, it is white viscous solution, but that has nothing to do with libido what so ever. ‘Please don’t inject penstrep to a bull before mating!!!’, I once again exclaim.

What are the long term consequences of injecting Penstrep into perfectly healthly cattle?
Also who do the Masai buy the drugs from?

Dana-
The long term consequences of misuse of any drug will be development of drug resistance by the microbes. The drugs are sold at agrovet stores all over the country, in most case the seller does not explain proper dosing and usage.
