LINCOMIX®

(lincomycin) TYPE A MEDICATED ARTICLE

HEALTHIER PIGS. IMPROVED ECONOMIC OUTCOMES.

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae) has challenged swine veterinarians and producers for decades, and the disease remains a legitimate challenge. Various surveys suggest U.S. herd prevalence exceeds 50%,1 and according to recent research from Iowa State University, M. hyopneumoniae was the third-most common cause of swine pneumonia from 2003 to 2014.

LINCOMIX from Zoetis is now approved at a range of 100 to 200 grams per ton for the reduction in severity of effects of respiratory disease associated with M. hyopneumoniae. It is the only U.S. Type A Medicated Article with an approved M. hyopneumoniae claim. When the product is administered at 100 g/ton, producers and veterinarians can also control ileitis.

CAUTION: Federal law restricts medicated feed containing this veterinary feed directive (VFD) drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

  • Key Benefits
    • LINCOMIX is approved for both the reduction of severity of effects of respiratory disease associated with M. hyopneumoniae and for the control of ileitis.
    • LINCOMIX now has a broader dosage range for M. hyopneumoniae, allowing veterinarians and herd managers to manage M. hyopneumoniae based on feeding budgets and timing of symptoms.
    • LINCOMIX has a zero-day withdrawal requirement and no export restrictions.
    • LINCOMIX is backed by value-added services from Zoetis, including:
      • STOMP Diagnostics from Zoetis to both validate a VFD and to identify timing of the M. hyopneumoniae challenge so pigs are treated based on when the disease threat is greatest.
      • Nutritional services to help illustrate how LINCOMIX fits into your feeding ration.
      • Feed assays so you can be confident LINCOMIX is administered within rations as intended.
    • LINCOMIX is complemented by a broad range of M. hyopneumoniae management solutions from Zoetis, including vaccines and anti-infectives to help manage the disease based on each farm’s M. hyopneumoniae goals.
