Overview

Field trial compares iron and toltrazuril treatment routes in piglets, suggesting intramuscular administration enhances growth.

Key Points

  • Intramuscular treatment increased average daily weight gain by 20 g compared to oral treatment.
  • Piglets receiving intramuscular toltrazuril and iron gleptoferron showed greater treatment efficacy.
  • Diarrhoea was more frequent among piglets treated orally, although not significantly different.
  • This trial is the first to confirm improved outcomes for intramuscular versus oral toltrazuril treatment.
