AIVLOSIN®- THE NEW ILEITIS THERAPY FOR PIGS - A PRACTITIONER'S VIEW
R.M. Kelly

Abstract
The clinical and economic effects of Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy (PPE) are described by the author. PPE, or Ileitis, is common on modern pig units and more so, perhaps, on higher health premises. This could be due to the absence of competitive gut pathogens. Controlled treatment trials were carried out on selected infected groups, using either Tylosin or Aivlosin®. Results indicated that those groups treated with Aivlosin® showed increased body weight at slaughter.
