PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Vetracin Gold Soluble is an anti-pneumonia product specifically formulated with two potent antibiotics – tiamulin and doxycycline and fortified with Vitamins A and B12. This unique combination ensures more effective control of mycoplasmal and bacterial pneumonia while maintaining growth of diseased animals. 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 where the infection is. 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 Gold’s antibiotic combination has been tested to be superior in efficacy compared to tiamulin or doxycycline alone. Moreover, Vetracin Gold Soluble is fortified with a high dose of Vitamin A which helps in the maintenance and repair of epithelial linings of the respiratory tract and enhances the immune sytem. High dose of Vitamin B12 is also included to help animals maintain growth rate even in the presence of disease by facilitating efficient utilization of nutrients for energy production.
