[Effect of tylosin in pigs].
The effect of tylosine and sulphadimidine, chlortetracycline, and bacitracin in feed was studied in 1275 piglets from 120 litters; the values obtained were compared with the control group given no antibiotics. Three Tylan injections were applied to a half of the animals on the 2nd, 5th, and 28th day after birth. The Tylan program did not lead to any significant reduction of piglet mortality before the 50th day of life. In neither of the groups did Tylan injections reduce mortality at the level of statistical significance. From the age of 56 days, the Tylan-application program provides statistically significant weight gains, as compared with other groups. The group with Czechoslovak antibiotics had the same weight as the group fed without antibiotics. The occurrence of pathological and anatomic findings on lungs showed no statistically significant differences in the two groups. The presence of tylosine in blood could not be ascertained after the oral application of even much higher doses than those used in the Tylan-application program. Small incidence of rhinitis does not allow for drawing any conclusions concerning the effects of Tylan.
