Efficacy of long acting oxytetracycline R for control of MMA syndrome in sows and neonatal disease in pigs was investigated using 80 Large White, Landrace, Duroc, as well as crossbred sows. Total of 40 sows which came to farrowing were randomized, selected and treated with long acting oxytetracycline on the day of parturition while another 40 sows served as control. Incidences of MMA syndrome in treated sows were much lower than those in the control ( 7.5 % VS 25 % ) ( P 0.01 ). Piglet scours during the first 2 days of life were significantly higher ( P 0.01 ) in the control than in the treated group. Other traits studied such as incidences of piglet mortality during the first 21 days were similar in the two groups as well as litter performance and causes of piglet mortality. TM/LA injectable solution was effective in controlling MMA syndrome in sows and scours in piglets when given at farrowing or as soon as possible post farrowing I/M injection at 20 ml/sow and 1 ml (200 mg.)/kg for piglet.
