INDICATIONS: GEN-GARD Soluble Powder is recommended for the control and treatment
of colibacillosis in weanling swine caused by strains of E. coli sensitive to gentamicin
and for the control and treatment of swine dysentery associated with Brachyspira
hyodysenteriae.
Dosage & Administration
DOSE: Colibacillosis - 1 level scoop per 240 gallons of drinking water for 3 consecutive days, 0.5 mg/lb/day.
For proportioner use, add 1 level scoop to 2 gallons stock solution and dispense at the rate of 1 oz./gal. drinking
water (25 mg/gal.).
Swine Dysentery - 1 level scoop per 120 gallons of drinking water for 3 consecutive days, 1.0 mg/lb/day.
For proportioner use, add 1 level scoop to 1 gallon stock solution and dispense at the rate of 1 oz./gal. drinking
water (50 mg/gal.).
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: GEN-GARD Soluble Powder is available in a 360 gram
jar. The 360 gram jar contains a scoop that provides approximately 18 grams of product
when level full.
For Control and Treatment of Colibacillosis - Administer GEN-GARD Soluble Powder in
drinking water at the recommended level of 25 mg per gallon (1 scoop/240 gallons) for
three consecutive days.
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 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.
