[A comparison of the effectiveness of furazolidone and apramycin in the control of colibacillosis in weaned piglets].

To compare the effectiveness of furazolidone and apramycin (Apralan) in the treatment of oedema disease in pigs, a trial was made on a commercial farm on which colibacillosis was a recurrent problem. Medicated feed containing 100 ppm of apramycin and 400 ppm of furazolidone respectively was given for three weeks after weaning. 112 Piglets were distributed over 10 battery houses at random. Results are summarized in Figure 1.
