Injection Scenarios Team A Inject one of these six pigs (bananas) with ABCD vitamin cocktail. Identify the banana/pig you injected with tape and note the date of administration on this sheet ________________________. The withdrawal time for ABCD vitamin cocktail is 30 days. Team B Inject one of these steers (bananas) with XYZ antibiotic. The injection should be administered IM. Note the date of administration on this sheet__________________. The withdrawal time is 30 days. Team C Inject one of these lambs (bananas) with stimulant unknown given to us by Lamb Trader Killem Quick.
