Efficacy of one-shot Marbofloxacin treatment on development of porcine pleuropneumonia
Actinobacillus (A.) pleuropneumoniae is one of the main important respiratory tract pathogens in pork production. Because of no or limited cross protection between different serotypes the disease control by vaccination is mostly hampered. In consequence high levels of antibiotics are used for combating outbreaks and limit spreading of disease. As the responsible use of antibiotics is increasingly under official control, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a high dose one-shot treatment with a concentration-dependent antibiotic on disease progression and success of therapy.
