COLI-TIALIN

COLI-TIALIN is an antimicrobial veterinary medication commonly used to treat infections caused by bacteria such as Escherichia coli in livestock, particularly in swine and poultry. This medication generally contains a combination of antibiotics, often including colistin sulfate, which is effective against Gram-negative bacteria by disrupting their cell walls, leading to bacterial death.

Key Uses of Coli-Tialin:

• Swine: Often used to manage and control enteric infections like colibacillosis in young pigs, caused by strains of E. coli, which can lead to severe diarrhea and dehydration.
• Poultry: Used in cases of bacterial infections impacting the digestive tract, which can significantly affect growth and feed conversion efficiency in flocks.

Benefits

• Targeted Action Against Gram-Negative Bacteria: Colistin in COLI-TIALIN specifically targets Gram-negative bacteria, making it effective against intestinal pathogens.
• Supports Gut Health: Helps reduce bacterial load in the gut, promoting better nutrient absorption and overall health.

Dosage and Administration

Administration is typically done orally via drinking water or feed, depending on the species and the specific infection. Dosage and duration should always be determined by a veterinarian to ensure safe and effective use.

Important Considerations

• Veterinary Supervision: Always consult a veterinarian for the correct dosage and administration.
• Resistance Management: Due to the critical importance of colistin in treating certain bacterial infections. It should be use judiciously to avoid contributing to antibiotic resistance.

This medication is typically available through veterinary suppliers and is often regulate, so a prescription may be necessary.
