Indications

Pigs:

Prevention and treatment of respiratory disease caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida and other organisms sensitive to tilmicosin

Rabbits:

Prevention and treatment of respiratory disease caused by Pasteurella multocida and Bordetella bronchiseptica, susceptible to tilmicosin.

Dose to be administered and administration route

The uptake of medicated feed depends on the clinical condition of the animals. In order to obtain a correct dosage the concentration of tilmicosin has to be adjusted accordingly.

Use the following formula:

Kg product/tonne feed = Dose rate (mg/kg bodyweight) x bodyweight (kg)

Daily feed intake (kg) x premix strength (g/kg)

Pigs

Administer in the feed at a dose of 8 to 16 mg/kg body weight/day of tilmicosin (equivalent to 200 to 400 ppm in the feed) for a period of 15 to 21 days.

Adverse reactions

In very rare cases (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals), feed intake may decrease (including feed refusal) in animals receiving medicated feed. This effect is transient.
