Effective control of swine respiratory disease (SRD) involves more than just putting an antibiotic in the feed. 

You need to treat animals early with a drug that will get to the site of infection: the LUNGS. The convenience of a feed-grade medication clearly reduces the labor associated with individual parenteral treatments. But if the drug is lost during feed production (pelleting), and isn't dispersed to the lungs in high concentrations when it's eaten, you remain vulnerable to costly productivity losses.

Because Aureomycin delivers more than DOUBLE the amount of drug activity to the lungs compared to oxytetracycline, adding Aureomycin to swine diets helps optimize herd health and optimize your productivity by taking the guesswork out of SRD management.

In short, Aureomycin delivers.

No other in-feed product effective against swine respiratory disease (SRD) comes close to matching the proven track record and convenience of Aureomycin® (chlortetracycline). Aureomycin delivers powerful activity against bacterial pneumonia caused by Pasteurella multocida and has been shown to be helpful in controlling Mycoplasma hyo infections.* One reason is the fact that Aureomycin consistently delivers far more drug to the lungs of treated pigs than other tetracycline-class feed-grade products (check-out the Aureomycin 10 mg/lb/body weight/day feeding calculator).

Aureomycin can be used to treat the widespread swine enteric disease ileitis and protects pigs from enteritis caused by Escherichia coli and Salmonella choleraesuis. Aureomycin also helps control leptospirosis in breeding swine. Last but not least, Aureomycin helps to improve weight gain and feed efficiency.

Aureomycin can be fed with confidence, with no weight restrictions or withdrawal period for the U.S. marketplace. Export markets may require extended withdrawal times depending on the product. For added convenience and flexibility, Aureomycin is cross-cleared for simultaneous use with numerous other animal health products.

While other tetracycline antibiotics are similar in molecular structure, pharmaceutical and structural differences such as granulation need to be considered when choosing products for disease management.

The advanced technology used to make Aureomycin ensures higher premix potency, greater retention of chlortetracycline after pelleting, and a 100 percent potency guarantee.
