Directions For Use
Injection
Determine the weight of the pig to be treated and administer 11 mg tiamulin per kilogram body weight intramuscularly, once daily. (Each milliliter of Denagard contains 100 mg tiamulin). Do this until clinical signs have disappeared or for a maximum of four days. Use a different injection site each day. Do not inject more than 10 mL of antibiotic at one site.
Liquid concentrate
Administer Denagard in the drinking water of swine continuously for five days at a level that allows the pigs to receive 6.2 mg/kg body weight of tiamulin per day. Denagard should not be given to sows during four weeks after service. Prepare fresh medicated drinking water daily.
Medicated premix
Thoroughly mix Denagard Premix into complete nonmedicated swine feed for the treatment or for the prevention of swine dysentery at the rates per metric tonne (1,000 kg) of feed as shown in the table below.
