Dosage and administration
For in-feed use.
For use in individual pigs on farms where only a small number of pigs are to receive the treatment.
Larger groups should be treated with medicated feeding stuff containing the premix.
For treatment and metaphylaxis of Swine Enzootic Pneumonia
The dose is 2.125 mg tylvalosin per kg bodyweight per day for 7 consecutive days.
Secondary infection by organisms such as Pasteurella multocida and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae may complicate enzootic pneumonia and require specific medication.
For treatment of Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy (ileitis)
The dose is 4.25 mg tylvalosin per kg bodyweight per day for 10 consecutive days.
For treatment and metaphylaxis of Swine Dysentery
The dose is 4.25 mg tylvalosin per kg bodyweight per day for 10 consecutive days.
This is achieved by thoroughly mixing Aivlosin into approximately 200–500 g of feed and then thoroughly mixing this pre-mixture into the remainder of the daily ration.
Scoops of 2 sizes are provided for measuring the correct amount of Aivlosin for mixing with the daily ration, according to the schedule below. The feed containing the oral powder should be provided as the sole ration for the periods recommended above.
The pig to be treated should be weighed and the amount of feed that the pig is likely to consume should be estimated, based on a daily feed intake equivalent to 5% of bodyweight. Consideration must be given to pigs whose daily feed intake is reduced or restricted. The correct quantity of Aivlosin should be added to the estimated quantity of daily ration for each pig, in a bucket or similar receptacle, and thoroughly mixed.
The veterinary medicinal product should only be added to dry non-pelleted feed.
