Linco Actin

The combination of lincomycin and spectinomycin acts as an additive and in some cases synergistic. Spectinomycin acts bacteriostatic or bactericidal, depending on the dose, against mainly Gram-negative bacteria like Campylobacter, E. coli and Salmonella spp. Lincomycin acts bacteriostatic against mainly Gram-positive bacteria like Mycoplasma, Treponema, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus spp. Cross-resistance of lincomycin with macrolides can occur.

Calves: Treatment of respiratory infections, arthritis and omphalitis. Pigs: Treatment of ileitis, Lawsonia intracellularis, hemorrhagic enteritis and colibacillosis, mycoplasma and infectious arthritis. Poultry: Treatment of mycoplasma involving E. Coli, airsacculitis and avian cholera.

Calves: 1 ml / 10kg body weight by intramuscular injection. Two injections at 12 hour intervals on the first day of treatment and then injected daily for 3 to 5 days. Pigs: 1 ml / 10kg body weight by intramuscular injection. Repeat after 24 hours and for up to 5 days, if necessary. Poultry: 1 ml / 5kg body weight by subcutaneous injection once daily for 3 days.
