Overview

Aivlosin is an antibiotic used to treat a number of infectious diseases in pigs, chickens, pheasants and turkeys.

In pigs, Aivlosin is used to treat and for metaphylaxis of several infections caused by bacteria that affect the lungs (i.e. swine enzootic pneumonia) or the intestinal tract (swine dysentery or porcine proliferative enteropathy). Metaphylaxis means giving a medicine to a group of animals, aiming to treat animals sick with an infection while controlling spread of the infection among the rest, some of whom may already be infected. Aivlosin improves the health and weight of the animals but it may not eliminate completely the bacteria that caused lung infection.

In chickens and pheasants, Aivlosin is used for treatment and metaphylaxis of lung infections caused by the bacterium Mycoplasma gallisepticum.

In turkeys, Aivlosin is used to treat lung infections caused by a bacterium, Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale, which can cause illness when it is complicated by other viral and bacterial infections.

Aivlosin contains the active substance tylvalosin (previously called acetylisovaleryltylosin).
