Producers who have used Tylan®Sulfa-G™ know how
effectively it controls respiratory diseases like atrophic rhinitis 1
and bacterial pneumonia (like Pasteurella) 2 . But there’s more
to Tylan Sulfa-G than just good disease control.
Tylan Feed Medication (“The Feed/Money Saver”) is
proven to boost a pig’s gam and feed conversion, and, in
combination with Sulfa-G (sulfamethazine Granurolls)
provides effective respiratory disease control.
Now we give you the Tylan Sulfa-G Challenge: Compare it
to your other starter/grower medications. We believe you’ll like
what you see. For disease control, that might mean less
coughing and sneezing, or a better slaughter check.
As to resulting performance, Tylan Sulfa-G can mean faster
gains on less feed, for more efficiency in practically all units.
(Results of TRAC Clinics indicate that almost every herd has
respiratory disease.) It all means a better return on your
medication investment.
The challenge to you is to try the product; the challenge to
us is to deliver on our word: Tylan Sulfa-G really works.
For more information, ask your feed man or Blanco
representative about the Challenge. We're ready for you.
1 For lowering the incidence end seventy of Bordetalla bronchisapttca rhinitis
