For Control and Treatment of Swine Dysentery - Administer GEN-GARD Soluble Powder in drinking water at the recommended level of 50 mg per gallon (1 pkt. or 1 scoop/120 gallons) for three consecutive days.
The concentration of the medication should be adjusted in extremely hot or cold weather to ensure a gentamicin dosage of approximately 0.5 mg/lb/day for 3 days for colibacillosis or 1.0 mg/lb/day for 3 days for swine dysentery. A 50-lb. pig will, under average conditions consume 0.9 gallon of water per day.
For swine dysentery, if the condition recurs, the medication may be repeated. Because of the tendency for the disease to recur on a premise with a history of swine dysentery, a control program should be used following treatment.
