Description
Neomycin is a broad-spectrum bactericidal aminoglycosidic antibiotic with particular activity against certain members of the Enterobacteriaceae e.g. Escherichia coli. Its mode of action is at the ribosomal level. When administered orally, only a fraction (<5%) is absorbed systemically, the remainder remains as the active compound in the gastrointestinal tract of the animal. Neomycin is not inactivated by enzymes or food. These pharmacological properties lead to neomycin being an efficacious antibiotic in the prevention and treatment of enteric infections caused by bacteria sensitive to neomycin.
Treatment of gastrointestinal infections caused by bacteria sensitive to neomycin in piglets and poultry.
Piglets: 2.04g to 3.06g Neocin 49% Powder / 100kg body weight every 12 hours for 3 to 5 consecutive days.
Poultry: 4.08g to 6.12g Neocin 49% Powder / 10 litres of drinking water for 3 to 5 consecutive days.
