New from Eurovet is Octacillin® Pig, a water-soluble amoxicillin powder, suitable for treating pneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and meningitis caused by Streptococcus suis. Octacillin® is widely used in poultry and has recently been approved for use in pigs. Octacillin® Pig is ideal for delivery via automatic water systems, as it dissolves completely in hard or soft water and remains stable in solution for 12 hours. Octacillin Pig also has a very short withhold period of 2 days.
Pneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae tends to affect pigs at 8-16 weeks of age and has a very short incubation period of just 12 hours.
Octacillin® Pig will be available from early March. For further information call 01223 257933.
