What is the best treatment for diarrhea in pigs?
Diarrhea in pigs is a common and serious problem in farming, especially in piglets and weaned pigs, where diarrhea not only leads to malnutrition, but can also lead to dehydration, affecting growth and survival. Tylenol Tartrate is an effective treatment for diarrhea caused by bacterial infections such as swine dysentery.
What is Tylenol Tartrate
Tylosin tartrate is a macrolide antibiotic found naturally as a fermentation product of Streptomyces fradiae. Tylosin Tartrate exerts potent antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Tylosin tartrate is widely used as a feed additive for promoting animal growth. Tylosin tartrate is used for veterinary purposes against bacterial dysentery and respiratory diseases in poultry, pigs and cattle.
This antibiotic interferes with the protein synthesis by reversibly binding to the ribosomes. They prevent translocation and keep the peptide chain growing. It has the best effect on rapidly dividing bacteria and mycoplasmas. This antibiotic has a bacteriostatic property but also has bactericidal activity in high concentrations. It is effective in higher pH ranges (7.8-8) and can decrease the acidic environments in abscesses. It is a time-dependent antimicrobial agent, and its efficacy depends on the time exposure.
Pharmacological effects of Tylenol Tartrate
Tylosin Tartrate has a good antibacterial effect, mainly by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial proteins and preventing bacterial growth and reproduction. It has significant antibacterial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria. Common bacteria that cause swine diarrhea, such as Salmonella, Shigella, and Streptococcus intestinalis, are all sensitive to tylosin. Therefore, the use of tylosin tartrate can effectively control diarrhea caused by these bacteria.
Application of Tylosin Tartrate for the treatment of pig diarrhea
1. Treatment of bacterial diarrhea
Tylosin Tartrate can effectively treat diarrhea caused by bacterial infections, such as swine dysentery. This kind of diarrhea is usually caused by specific bacterial infections (e.g. Salmonella, Shigella, etc.), and the use of Tylosin Tartrate can help to control the infection and reduce the symptoms.
2. Prevention of diarrhea
Tylosin is often used as a preventive medicine in farms, especially during the weaning or stress period of piglets, to help reduce the risk of bacterial infection and prevent diarrhea from occurring.
3. Promote recovery
For pigs already suffering from diarrhea, the use of Tylenol tartrate can speed up recovery, reduce the duration of the disease, and help improve appetite and overall health.
