A combination of dihydrostreptomycin sulphate (250 mg/ml) and penicillin G procaine (200,000 iu/ml) was used to treat contagious caprine pleuropneumonia caused by F38 strain of mycoplasma. A single dose of either 20, 30, 40 or 50 mg/kg body weight of the dihydrostreptomycin sulphate led to the recovery of the treated goats. The recovered goats did not transmit CCPP to susceptible goats housed with them for 2 months. The goats which recovered were found to be solidly immune to an in-contact challenge in which all the control goats died of CCPP. The treated and recovered goats were found not to be carriers of the organism.
