EC gives Baycox Iron EU marketing authorisation
Bayer has launched Baycox Iron (36mg/ml toltrazuril plus 182mg/ml gleptoferron) in Europe, the injectable combination for the prevention of iron deficiency, and for the prevention of clinical signs of coccidiosis in suckling piglets on European farms with a confirmed history of coccidiosis as a result of Cystoisospora suis.
Bayer’s head of swine species marketing, Octavio Orlovsky Eckhardt, said: “A combination therapy that can effectively address these concerns with reduced handling can make a real difference for pig health and well-being.”
Director of the Institute for Animal Hygiene, Animal Welfare and Farm Animal Behaviour, University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Nicole Kemper, said: “Piglets go through intense handling in their first days of life. While this is done to give them a better start to life and protect them from disease, it can also cause a lot of stress. Measures to reduce the need for piglet handling can make an important contribution to enhancing piglet well-being in the farrowing pen.”
