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.
