In-feed use. For incorporation into dry feed only.
For treatment and metaphylaxis of Swine Enzootic Pneumonia
The dose is 2.125 mg tylvalosin per kg bodyweight per day in-feed 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 in-feed for 10 consecutive days.
For treatment and metaphylaxis of Swine Dysentery
The dose is 4.25 mg tylvalosin per kg bodyweight per day in-feed for 10 consecutive days.
Indication | Dose of active substance | Duration of treatment | In feed inclusion rate |
Treatment and metaphylaxis of swine enzootic pneumonia | 2.125 mg/kg bodyweight/day | 7 days | 1 kg/tonne* |
Treatment of PPE (ileitis) | 4.25 mg/kg bodyweight/day | 10 days | 2 kg/tonne* |
Treatment and metaphylaxis of swine dysentery | 4.25 mg/kg bodyweight/day | 10 days | 2 kg/tonne* |
*Important: these inclusion rates assume a pig eats the equivalent of 5% bodyweight per day.
In older pigs, or in pigs with reduced appetite, or on restricted feed intake, inclusion levels may need to be increased to achieve target dose. Where feed intake is reduced, use the following formula:
| Dose rate (mg/kg bodyweight) x bodyweight (kg) |
kg premix/tonne feed = | ______________________________________ |
| Daily feed intake (kg) x Premix strength (mg/g) |
As an adjunct to medication, good management and hygiene practices should be introduced in order to reduce the risk of infection and to control the build-up of resistance.
A horizontal ribbon mixer should be used to incorporate the product into the feeding stuff. It is recommended that Aivlosin is first mixed into 10 kg of the feeding stuff, followed by the rest of the feeding stuff and mixed well. Medicated feed may then be pelleted. Pelleting conditions involve a single pre-conditioning step with steam for 5 minutes and pelleting at not more than 70°C under normal conditions.
Overdose
No signs of intolerance have been observed in growing pigs at up to 10 times the recommended dose.
