Product Description
Cefquinome Sulfate Suspension 2.5% is a veterinary cephalosporin antibiotic designed for the treatment of bacterial infections in swine production systems.
Cefquinome belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics and provides strong antibacterial activity against a wide range of clinically important livestock pathogens.
On many commercial pig farms, respiratory and reproductive infections can spread rapidly during periods of stress, overcrowding, transportation, or weak biosecurity management.
In practical veterinary use, cefquinome products are commonly selected for severe bacterial infections where reliable broad-spectrum antibacterial activity is required.
Target Animals
- Piglets
- Sows
- Swine
Indications
Used for infections caused by cefquinome-sensitive bacteria, including:
- Respiratory diseases
- Haemophilus infections
- Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia
- Streptococcal infections
- Uteritis
- Mastitis
- Postpartum hypogalactia
- Meningitis
- Epidermatitis
The product is commonly applied for bacterial disease management in intensive swine production systems.

Precautions
- Shake well before use
- Use sterile injection equipment
- Avoid unnecessary antibiotic overuse
- Follow proper dosage calculations
- Respect withdrawal periods carefully
- Avoid product contact in sensitive individuals
Good farm hygiene, ventilation management, and biosecurity systems are also important for reducing bacterial disease pressure in swine operations.
Common Antibiotic Mistakes on Livestock Farms
FAQ
What infections can Cefquinome Sulfate Suspension 2.5% treat?
It is commonly used for respiratory, reproductive, skin, and systemic bacterial infections in swine.
Why should suspension products be shaken before use?
Suspension products may settle during storage. Shaking helps maintain uniform concentration before injection.
Can this product be used for respiratory disease in pigs?
Yes. It is commonly used for respiratory infections associated with Haemophilus, Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia, and streptococcal infections.
Why are withdrawal periods important?
Withdrawal periods help prevent antibiotic residues from remaining in meat intended for human consumption.
Why is farm biosecurity important during bacterial outbreaks?
Poor ventilation, overcrowding, transportation stress, and weak sanitation systems often increase bacterial disease pressure on swine farms.
