摘要

Feed specifically intended for the prevention of diarrhea and dysentery in swine without the degradation of stomach flora containing salinomycin. The feed is used to improve growth, and can be used as a standalone feed or as a solid or liquid concentrate as well as a galenic substance administered orally as a tablet, capsule, paste, granular substance, powder, juice, syrup or bolus, possibly dissolved in water or in a liquid feed agent. Salinomycin in feed is in the form of dry mycelium, crude product or pure substance, salts and salinomycin esters being physiologically supported by the animal. Alkaline salts, especially potassium, sodium or ammonium salts, or alkaline earth salts, preferably magnesium and calcium, are used. Also, alkali metal esters of 1-8 carbon atoms, as well as benzyl esters can be used. The salomycin concentration, including salt or ester, is selected at a value corresponding to a dosage of 0.02-5.0 mg / kg body weight of the animal per day. For this purpose a feed having a galenic concentration of 0.5 ... 500 g / ton, a concentrate having a concentration of 0.1 ... 10% or a galenic preparation having a concentration of 4 ... mg, to a unit of substance to be administered. Feed is used in animal husbandry and especially in pig breeding.
