Biovit for piglets is a feed additive that includes a number of vitamins, enzymes and antibiotics. It is used to prevent diarrhea in animals, restore the body and cure during illness. In addition, the composition of the preparation promotes the accelerated growth and development of piglets. But it should be introduced into the diet in moderation, since exceeding the dosage also implies certain harm to animals.
Composition
Outwardly, Biovit looks like a brown powder with a fine fraction. It is obtained by drying and grinding the mycelial mass of the antibiotic chlortetracycline. It is one of the main components of the supplement. And in various forms, the drug can occupy from 4% to 12% of the total dry matter.
In addition to the antibiotic, the preparation also includes:
- protein;
- macro and world elements;
- various vitamins necessary for the development of the body;
- vegetable fats;
- enzyme compounds.
The amount of protein in the supplement can vary between 35-45%.
According to the amount of chlortetracycline in the volume of dry matter, three types of the drug are distinguished:
- Biovit-40 (not less than 40 mg);
- Biovit-80 (respectively, 80 mg);
- Biovit-120 (120 mg of myceal mass).
Indications
This food supplement is used to enhance the growth of piglets. In addition, it is used to treat the following ailments of diseases characteristic of young pigs:
- colibacillosis;
- erysipelas septicemia;
- listeriosis;

Biological properties
When biovit is injected inside, chlortetracycline is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream and penetrates into the organs and tissues of the body. The action of chlortetracycline is based on the suppression of protein synthesis on the ribosomes of microorganisms. Chlortetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits the growth and development of many gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms (cocci, pasteurella, Escherichia, Salmonella, Brucella, Clostridium, Leptospira, hemophilus, Listeria, anthrax bacillus, etc.), but weakly or completely inactive against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, acid-fast bacteria, most fungi and viruses. In the blood, its therapeutic concentration is maintained at a high level for about 8 - 12 hours. Chlortetracycline is excreted from the body mainly during the first day, mainly in the urine and feces. Tissue preparations, vitamins and other components contained in biovit, together with chlortetracycline, have a therapeutic, prophylactic and stimulating effect. In small therapeutic doses, biovit has a positive effect on metabolic processes in the body, stimulates phagocytosis, and enhances gas exchange in the lungs. In stimulating doses, it actively accelerates growth, contributes to an increase in resistance to gastrointestinal diseases and a sharp decrease in mortality, an increase in weight gain and an increase in the productivity of farm animals and poultry.
Dosage and method of administration
Biovit is fed daily and excluded from the diet 6 days before slaughter.
The drug is added to the feed. The input rates of Biovita-80 (in grams per 1 animal per day) are presented in the table.

The remedy is given to seven-day-old chicks. It is added to the mash: for fifty chickens - half a teaspoon of powder. Broiler medicine is used once a day for one to two weeks.
Biovit is not used together with Baytril, Enroflon and other antibiotics.
The drug loses its healing properties when heated, so it cannot be put into a hot mash or heat treated.
The therapeutic effect of the drug:
- greatly reduces the mortality of chickens;
- increases average daily weight gain;

First aid kit for broiler chickens at home
To improve the defenses of the body, the chickens are fed with vitamin complexes and medicines for broilers from the first days. These products can be purchased in the form of a first aid kit for chickens. "Veterinary first-aid kit No. 2" is intended for the treatment of the most common diseases of chicks.
- Dyspepsia, enteritis and other diseases. In newly hatched chickens, the digestive system is not yet developed: there are not enough enzymes, the acidity of gastric juice is low. To warn them, you need to adhere to a feeding schedule for the chicks and provide suitable food. To improve digestion, chickens are given ascorbic acid with glucose, probiotics.
- Growth retardation, weakness. Usually occurs in chickens when they are given inadequate or unsuitable feed. Vitamin and mineral supplements are used to accelerate growth and improve the health of chicks.
- Infectious diseases. Immunity in chickens is underdeveloped, so infectious diseases often lie in wait for them. Chickens suffer from salmonellosis, mycoplasmosis, pullorosis. Hypothermia of chicks, non-observance of the temperature regime leads to colds, bronchitis and pneumonia. Antibiotics are used to treat these diseases.
Every poultry farmer should have a first-aid kit for broilers at home with antibiotics, vitamin and mineral preparations, and first aid. Medications may be needed at any time, as medications often need to be given urgently, otherwise the bird can be lost.
