In today’s swine production clear diagnosis from enteric symptoms is often difficult because of the prevalence of concurrent infections.

This is especially valid for the most important enteric diseases in the growing and finishing period, like Swine Dysentery, Ileitis and Colitis.

As demonstrated by Thomson, the incidence of such mixed infections is significant and can result in poor growth and feed conversion efficiency (FCE).
It is therefore important that medication covers not only single pathogens but is effective against those enteric diseases that most severely affect the health status of growing and finishing pigs.

ECONOR (valnemulin), the most advanced form of pleuromutilin, is an antibiotic premix for the prevention and treatment of the three key enteric disease problems – Swine Dysentery, Ileitis and Spirochaetal Coliti
