Virbac Phenix CTC 20% 25Kg

Phenix CTC 20% is a premium chlortetracycline-based medicated premix engineered for the prevention and treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections in poultry and pigs. As a powerful member of the tetracycline family, it acts by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, making it the primary choice for controlling respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases in high-density farming environments.

Key Performance Features

• Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Highly effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Mycoplasma, Pasteurella, and certain large viruses.
• Superior Feed Stability: Specially formulated to remain stable during the steam-pelleting process, ensuring the medication reaches the animal at the intended dosage.
• Rapid Systemic Absorption: Once ingested, the active ingredient is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, targeting infection sites in the lungs and intestines.
• Concentrated 20% Formulation: Provides a potent therapeutic dose (200g of Chlortetracycline HCl per kg) in an easy-to-mix granular format.

Ideal Applications

• Poultry Health (Broilers & Layers): The first line of defense against Chronic Respiratory Disease (CRD), Bluecomb (Non-specific Infectious Enteritis), and infectious synovitis.
• Swine Respiratory Management: Extremely effective in controlling Bacterial Pneumonia and Enzootic Pneumonia in growing pigs.
• Enteritis Control: Used to manage and prevent Necrotic Enteritis and other bacterial scours caused by susceptible organisms.
• Stress Period Prophylaxis: Often administered during high-stress periods such as transport, vaccination, or extreme weather changes to prevent secondary infections.

Product Benefits

• Cost-Effective Mass Medication: Allows for the treatment of entire flocks or herds through existing feed infrastructure, reducing labor and animal stress.
• Granular "Low-Dust" Mix: The physical properties of the premix ensure a uniform distribution throughout the feed, preventing "settling" during transport.
• Proven Safety Profile: Decades of clinical use in the South African agricultural market have established CTC as a reliable and predictable therapeutic tool.

Pro Tip: For maximum efficacy, always ensure the feed is thoroughly mixed. If you are using high-calcium diets (especially in layers), be aware that calcium can bind to tetracyclines and slightly reduce absorption; consult your nutritionist to adjust dosages if necessary. Strictly observe the withdrawal periods before slaughter to ensure food safety.
