Schering-Plough has launched Nuflor injectable and Nuflor Drinking Water Concentrate for the prevention of major respiratory diseases in pigs, such as those caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) and Pasteurella multocida.

Ross Kelly, BVMS, MRCVS, UK Pig Team Manager said: "These diseases can rapidly kill pigs, so the increased scope given by Nuflor Injection and Nuflor DWC to rapidly treat infection and now to prevent infection effectively can halt the spread and result in a swift recovery. Combined with good management the negative impact on growth, feed conversion efficiency and overall cost of production can be greatly reduced.”
