Vetmulin 12.5% 1 Liter
Vetmulin® (tiamulin hydrogen fumarate) Liquid Concentrate is a solution used only in preparing medicated drinking water for swine.
Benefits
Effective in the treatment of swine dysentery and swine pneumonia.
Comprised of the active ingredient tiamulin hydrogen fumarate, Vetmulin 12.5% is a bio-equivalent product to Denagard®.
Indication
When administered in the drinking water for five consecutive days, Vetmulin® is an effective treatment of swine dysentery associated with Brachyspira (formerly Serpulina or Treponema) hyodysenteriae and swine pneumonia due to Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, susceptible to tiamulin.
Residue Warnings: Withdraw medicated water 3 days before slaughter after treatment at 3.5 mg per pound body weight and 7 days before slaughter after treatment at 10.5 mg per pound body weight.
Use Directions:
The concentration of tiamulin hydrogen fumarate in the drinking water must be adjusted to compensate for variation in water consumption due to weight or size of the pig, environmental temperature and other factors. It is important that pigs receive the proper drug dose, 3.5 mg tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per pound for swine dysentery or 10.5 mg tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per pound for swine pneumonia, each day for 5 consecutive days.
Directions for preparing Vetmulin medicated solutions
Determine the amount of Vetmulin Liquid Concentrate needed to medicate the desired volume of drinking water at the proper concentration.
Carefully measure out this amount, add it to the water and stir to thoroughly mix.
1. Prepare fresh medicated drinking water every day for the 5 day treatment period. |
|||
2. Water medicated with Vetmulin should be the only source of drinking water during the treatment period. |
|||
*3. Increase or decrease dilution rate as required to obtain proper daily drug dose. Directions for using VetmulinIn medicated proportioners: One liter of Vetmulin Liquid Concentrate mixed with water to make 4.3 gallons of stock solution and this stock solution metered at one fluid ounce per gallon will provide 227 mg of tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per gallon to 550 gallons of drinking water for treatment of swine dysentery. Three liters of Vetmulin Liquid Concentrate mixed with water to make 4.3 gallons of stock solution and this stock solution metered at one fluid ounce per gallon will provide 681 mg tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per gallon to a total of 550 gallons of drinking water for treatment of swine pneumonia. In barrels or tanks: One liter (1000 mL) of Vetmulin Liquid Concentrate will medicate 550 gallons of drinking water at 227 mg per gallon for treatment of swine dysentery or 183 gallons at 681 mg per gallon for treatment of swine pneumonia. Measure Vetmulin Liquid Concentrate carefully, pour into the proper amount of water and thoroughly mix. The concentration of tiamulin hydrogen fumarate in the stock solution and in the drinking water delivered must be adjusted to compensate for variation in water consumption by pigs due to body weight, environmental and other factors. It is important that the pigs receive the proper drug dose of 3.5 mg of tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per pound of body weight daily for 5 consecutive days for treatment of swine dysentery or a dose of 10.5 mg per pound body weight daily for 5 consecutive days for treatment of swine pneumonia. |
