Manufacturer of Veterinary Medicine for Pigs

Veterinary medicine for pigs encompasses products specifically designed and approved for treating, preventing, or managing health conditions in pigs. Pigs are livestock animals primarily kept on farms mainly for the purpose of meat production, and breeding. They may also be kept at animal centers and zoos.

AdvaCare Pharma is a trusted global manufacturer of veterinary medicines including a variety of treatments for pigs. These livestock medicine for pigs and piglets have various forms depending on the specific needs and conditions, such as:

• Oral drugs for pigs like oral suspensions, oral solutions, or soluble powders. The pig will typically ingest the medication, and it is then absorbed into the bloodstream through the digestive system.
• Premixes and granules for pigs containing essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and medications, are administered orally by being mixed into the animal's feed. Vitamins for pigs can help with nutritional deficiencies, parasite infestations, metabolic disorders, and overall health.
• Injectable medications can be applied intramuscularly, intravenously, or subcutaneously. Injectable medicine for piglets and adult pigs are often used when immediate therapeutic effects are required.
• Topical pig medicines can come as dip solutions. These medicine for pigs are applied externally to treat skin conditions or external parasite infestations.

Some common indications of veterinary medicine for pigs include:

• Respiratory infections such as swine influenza, porcine respiratory disease complex, or pneumonia
• Gastrointestinal disorders and digestive issues like diarrhea, gastric ulcers, or enteritis
• Internal and external parasitic infestations including lice, mites, and mange, or roundworms and coccidia that can cause gastrointestinal disturbances
• Reproductive disorders such as infertility, metritis (uterine infection), or mastitis (inflammation of mammary glands)

Transitioning from general treatments, the specificity of veterinary medicine for piglets and pigs has evolved tremendously to address a wide array of health concerns.

Among the most vital are antibiotics for pigs, specifically designed to treat bacterial infections and prevent complications arising from surgery or injury. For instance, oxytetracycline for pigs is a broad-spectrum antibiotic frequently employed to combat various bacterial strains effectively. Furthermore, with viral outbreaks like swine influenza, the development and application of a swine flu vaccine have become instrumental in curbing its spread and protecting pig populations.

Another grave concern in pig farming is classical swine fever (formerly known as hog cholera), a highly contagious viral disease. Vaccines and prompt treatment are vital in managing and preventing classical swine fever and similar outbreaks. Finally, recognizing and addressing subtle health issues is also crucial. Treatment for loss of appetite in pigs, often a symptom of underlying health problems, ensures that these animals maintain optimal health and productivity.

Veterinary medicine for pigs covers a wide range of indications with different causes of health problems. Livestock and pig medicine can be grouped according to the common cause of a health condition.

Bacterial infections in pigs can lead to a number of conditions and symptoms. Antibiotics for pigs are essential in maintaining livestock health and supporting farmers. An example of a common bacterial infection is swine respiratory disease complex. This is a respiratory infection caused by multiple bacterial pathogens, including Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, and Streptococcus suis. Symptoms of classical swine fever and the like include coughing, difficulty breathing, fever, reduced appetite, and poor growth. Treatment involves antibiotic medication for swine such as penicillin or ceftiofur, which target specific bacterial pathogens. Swine flu vaccines also help prevent such outbreaks from happening in the first place.

Another common bacterial infection is porcine colibacillosis caused by Escherichia coli bacteria and commonly affects young pigs. It can result in diarrhea, dehydration, reduced weight gain, and even mortality. Treatment includes antibiotics for pigs like ampicillin or trimethoprim-sulfadiazine.

One final example is a streptococcal infection. Streptococcus suis is a common pathogen causing infections in pigs. It potentially leads to various health problems, like meningitis, arthritis, and septicemia. Clinical signs may include fever, lameness, neurological signs, and reduced activity. Treatment involves the use of antibiotics for pigs such as penicillin, amoxicillin, tetracycline, or oxytetracycline for pigs.

Antibiotics for pigs are key livestock drugs for targeting various types of bacterial infections, such as the ones described above. Their mechanism depends on the specific pig medication used. They may inhibit bacterial growth, disrupt their cellular processes, or interfere with essential metabolic pathways, ultimately eliminating the infection and promoting the pig's recovery. Our veterinary range contains medicine for pigs such as: - Fortified Penicillin G Procaine + Penicillin Sodium for Injection (ForProCare™) - Ceftiofur HCL + Ketoprofen Suspension for Injection (CefproCare™) - Sulfadiazine + Trimethoprim Oral Solution (SultriCare™) - Amoxicillin Soluble Powder (AmoxiCare™) - Oxytetracycline Injection (OxyCare™)

Nutritional deficiencies can have detrimental effects on the health and well-being of livestock. Vitamin C deficiency, for instance, can lead to scurvy, characterized by poor growth, weakness, joint pain, swollen gums, and hemorrhages. Vitamin C, one of the most popular vitamins for pigs, acts as a coenzyme in various metabolic processes and plays a crucial role in collagen synthesis and immune function. Treatment involves providing a vitamin C-rich diet or administering supportive vitamins for pigs.

Iron deficiency anemia is a common nutritional problem in young pigs, particularly those on a sow's milk-only diet. It can result in anemia, weakness, reduced growth, and poor vitality. Treatment involves providing supplemental iron medicine for pigs. Iron supplementation helps restore normal red blood cell production and improves the pig's overall health.

A final example is calcium deficiency (Hypocalcemia), which can occur due to inadequate dietary intake or improper calcium metabolism. It can lead to muscle weakness, tremors, stiffness, difficulty standing, and reduced milk production in lactating sows. Treatment involves providing vitamins for pigs such as calcium supplements or adjusting the diet to ensure adequate calcium intake.

Nutritional supplement treatments can help farmers balance the nutrient intake of their livestock, provide treatment of loss of appetite in pigs and piglets, and prevent deficiencies like the examples mentioned. Included in our range of vitamins for pigs are these nutritional medicine for piglets and adult pigs: - Calcium Borogluconate Injection (CaborCare™) - Multivitamin Soluble Powder (VitaCare™) - Multimineral Premix (MinalCare™) - Multivitamin Injection (VitaCare™) - Vitamin E + Selenium Oral Solution (SelVitECare™)

Parasitic infestations can be a significant health concern in pigs, affecting their overall well-being and productivity. One common example is a roundworm infestation (ascaridiasis). Roundworms are common intestinal parasites in pigs. Pigs can become infected by ingesting the eggs present in contaminated feed, water, or soil. Symptoms of roundworm infestation include poor growth, diarrhea, coughing, and a pot-bellied appearance. Infected pigs may also show reduced feed intake and anemia. Treatment involves deworming pig medicines such as benzimidazoles or macrocyclic lactones, which kill the parasites by interfering with their metabolism and inhibiting their ability to absorb nutrients.

A second example is mange, a parasitic skin disease caused by mites (Sarcoptes scabiei or Demodex spp). Infected pigs may exhibit intense itching, hair loss, crusty skin, and scabs. Mange can lead to secondary bacterial infections and weight loss. Treatment involves antibiotics and topical or injectable parasiticidal medications, such as macrocyclic lactones or amitraz. These medications for pigs kill the mites and help alleviate the skin symptoms.

Antiparasitic livestock drugs aim to eliminate parasite infestations, whether internal or external. Among our range of antiparasitical medicine for pigs are the following: - Ivermectin Premix (IverCare™) - Amitraz Dip Solution (TrazCare™) - Fenbendazole Premix (FenbenCare™) - Tetramisole Boluses (TetramCare™) - Furazolidone Tablets (FuraCare™)
