Claim 1

For the prevention of swine dysentery associated with Brachyspira hyodysenteriae susceptible to tiamulin.

Level of medicating ingredient in a complete feed

31.2 mg/kg (0.00312%) of tiamulin base in the complete feed.

Directions for use in a complete feed

This livestock feed contains a medically important antibiotic. To reduce the development of antimicrobial resistance and maintain effectiveness, use this antibiotic prudently and for the shortest duration required to achieve the desired clinical outcome.

Feed continuously as the sole ration to swine on premises with a history of swine dysentery but where signs of disease have not yet occurred. Feed continuously to prevent reinfection following use of tiamulin at 178.1 mg/kg (0.01781%) tiamulin base for 14 days or following use of tiamulin medicated drinking water for treatment of swine dysentery associated with Brachyspira (formerly Serpulina or Treponema) hyodysenteriae during the risk period of 6 to 8 weeks.

Additional information (not to appear on feed labels)

For feed manufacturers

Add and thoroughly mix into the ration at the following rate to provide 31.2 mg/kg (0.00312%) tiamulin base per metric tonne (1000 kg) of finished (complete) feed:

Warning

  2. When mixing, direct contact with the skin and eyes should be avoided by wearing impermeable rubber gloves and safety glasses. In case of accidental eye contact, irrigate the eyes thoroughly with clean running water immediately. Seek medical advice if irritation persists. When handling the product, inhalation of the dust must be avoided by wearing a disposable half-mask respirator. Contaminated clothing should be removed and any splashes on to the skin should be washed off immediately. Wash hands after use. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice immediately and show the label to the physician. (Required on premix and supplement labels only).
  3. Keep out of reach of children. (Required on premix and supplement labels only)

Caution

  1. Overdoses of tiamulin have sometimes produced transitory salivation, vomiting and an apparent calming effect on the pig. In very rare cases, death has been reported.
