PULMOTIL^®

An effective tool for pigs at-risk of respiratory disease

Healthy, heavier nursery pigs improve returns all the way to market. But respiratory disease that slows growth and increases variation can cost you plenty. Respiratory disease:

• Is the #1 cause of nursery death¹
• Reduces feed intake²
• Increases susceptibility to enteric disease²
• Increases trim loss at processing from lung adhesions

Nursery performance measurements as well as mortality and morbidity rates can indicate health risk factors for nursery pigs. Common secondary infections also increase respiratory disease risk.

Pulmotil controls respiratory disease associated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia (APP) and Pasteurella multocida to protect at-risk pigs and, by controlling respiratory disease in at-risk nursery pigs, Pulmotil can help reduce mortality³ and lower medication costs.⁴

By controlling respiratory disease pigs treated with Pulmotil are able to perform to their full genetic potential, thus gaining weight and utilizing feed as any normal, healthy animal would.

The label contains complete use information, including cautions and warnings. Always read, understand and follow the label and use directions.
