This restriction addresses concerns that {oxytetracycline / streptomycin} resistance could be transferred to E. coli or other pathogenic bacteria in the manure. When feasible, {PRODUCT NAME} should be tank-mixed or alternated with a comparable bactericide with a different mode of action to reduce risks of selecting for {oxytetracycline / streptomycin} -resistant organisms.
