Product Description: VETRACIN GOLD PREMIX Vetracin Gold Premix is an anti-pneumonia formulation containing the synergistic combination of tiamulin

and Click here to view TVC doxycycline. This unique combination ensures more effective control of mycoplasmal and bacterial pneumonia affecting swine and poultry. Doxycycline is a new generation tetracycline known for its excellent absorption orally, superior spectrum of activity against common respiratory infections that complicates pneumonia and high therapeutic concentration in the lungs. Tiamulin is a pleuromutilin derivative with excellent efficacy against mycoplasma the primary cause of swine pneumonia. It is highly absorbed orally, concentrates in the lungs for more effective treatment and has low incidence of bacterial resistance. Vetracin Golds antibiotic combination has been tested to be superior in efficacy compared to tiamulin or doxycycline alone. Product Benefits: - SPECIFIC ANTI-PNEUMONIA (tiamulin and doxycycline concentrates in the lungs achieves concentration very much higher than MIC90 of common respiratory bacteria) - HIGH BIOAVAILABILITY (lipophlic components results to up to 90% absorption rate when administered orally even in the presence of food) - LESS BACTERIAL RESISTANCE (synergism lowers the minimum inhibitory concentration for susceptible microorganisms versus concentrations attained in the blood, hence less chances for bacterial resistance development - ASSURED QUALITY (manufactured under ISO 9001:2000 protocols and GMP-certified processes) Technical Information: FORMULATION: Per kilogram contains: Tiamulin hydrogen fumarate, 33,000 mg Doxycycline HCl, 100,000 mg FORMAT: Feed Premix

Feeding of boars A breeding boar requires 2-2.5 kg concentrate per 100 kg weight depend demand. Feed allowances should be so adjusted that the pig is neither fat provided if kept indoors. Year-round pasture is excellent if it could be pr providing both the needed exercise and valuable nutrients.

Feeding of female The demands resulting from pregnancy and need for conserving nutrient during the later stage of pregnancy. The increased needs are for proteins Mature sows gain 30-35 kg and gilts 40-45 kg during pregnancy. Feed sh gilts are never over fat or thin. Individual feeding is preferred.
