Baytril® 100 (Enrofloxacin)

For the treatment and control of swine respiratory disease (SRD) associated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus parasuis, Streptococcus suis, Bordetella bronchiseptica, and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyo). For the control of colibacillosis in groups or pens of weaned pigs where colibacillosis associated with Escherichia coli (E. coli) has been diagnosed.

The Reliable SRD Solution

  • Quick.
  • Reliable.
  • Effective.

A Full Value Solution

  • Baytril is highly bioavailable, reaching the lungs quickly for effective treatment. Baytril’s active ingredient, enrofloxacin, binds to DNA gyrase in Gram negative bacteria and topoisomerase IV in Gram positive bacteria, making it bactericidal and concentration-dependent which differentiates it from cephalosporins and macrolides.
  • Early SRD intervention is critical to assure good nursery pig health and to support the subsequent profitability in the finishing phase.
