Contraindications

Precautions

Use should be based on susceptibility testing of bacteria isolated from the farm where possible, or on local/regional/farm epidemiological susceptibility information. Do not use to compensate for poor hygiene or management. Deviating from the instructions may increase antimicrobial resistance and cross-resistance. Official national and regional antimicrobial policies should be considered. Avoid combining with bacteriostatic antibiotics.
