Abstract
|
|
|
The effect of mecadox, trade name of carbodox, in the treatment of colibacillosis and in the prevention of experimental Salmonella infection in swine was studied throughout the experimental period of four weeks using a total of 70 piglets. The results obtained are as followings.
1. Mecadox was found moderately effective as a therapeutic for colibacillosis of piglets when administered orally as pig doser or added to the feed at the ratio of 50 ppm with or without the addition of vitamin A and D₃
2. In the prevention of experimental infection with Sal. choleraesuis, mecadox was found highly effective. As judged by clinical symptoms such as diarrhea and fever together with the confirmation of excretion of the causative organisms in the feces, the best result was obtained with mecadox pig doser followed by mecadox (50ppm) with vitamin A and D₃, and mecadox (50ppm) without the vitamins in the descending order of effectiveness.
