“…which may lead to abscess formation [1]. Faulty injection can cause trauma to tissues resulting in an inflammatory reactions and potential injection site lesions as abscesses, suppurative myositis (diffuse muscle infection without abscess formation) and in severe cases cause necrosis of the tissue [2].…”
This study was carried out on a total of 40 animals (13 female cows, 14 cow bull and 13 cow calves of both sexes) with an age ranged from 1-5 years. Animals were admitted to Zagazig
