Denagard Plus performs in the industry
Getting freshly weaned pigs off to a good start means getting them eating and keeping them eating. The first week postweaning is a good predictor of whether any new group of pigs will thrive or struggle to perform. A good start often continues throughout the growth phase and can speed hogs to market weight up to 10 days earlier.
Studies and field trials have demonstrated that weaned pigs fed starter rations containing Denagard
Denagard Plus is the first choice for nursery rations because it's the broadest spectrum, highest performance feed medication program available. Tiamulin, the active ingredient in Denagard 10, is one of the few broad-spectrum products that work systemically in pigs. That broad, systemic activity makes tiamulin highly effective against several swine enteric and respiratory pathogens typically found in modern pig production systems — including the one responsible for ileitis. It's this broad spectrum enteric and respiratory disease control that is actually responsible for driving the exceptional improvements in feed intake, which in turn drives the exceptional weight gain.
By combining Denagard 10 with chlortet-racycline, Denagard Plus offers producers the benefit of two compounds working better together. Denagard Plus is the only concurrent-use feed program to treat and/or control bacterial pneumonia, bacterial enteritis, ileitis and swine dysentery at the same time. That means you get the most broad-spectrum feed antibiotic program available and a powerful tool for building a higher health status herd.
At the same time, Denagard 10 is the only therapeutic antibiotic approved for swine that is unrelated to any human-use antibiotic. That feature provides a unique and increasingly important additional benefit for the swine industry under increasing scrutiny for antibiotic use.
No other feed medication program offers the disease protection, performance benefits and return on investment that Denagard Plus provides. Experience shows and scientific studies verify that Denagard Plus provides positive return on investment wherever it is placed in the nursery. In fact, with Denagard Plus, you'll have the flexibility to use the product at any nursery stage and the confidence that it will protect your pigs and generate positive return on investment.
No wonder more producers trust Denagard Plus in the nursery than any other feed medication.
