Freshwater-Reared
Salmonid Health
In freshwater-reared salmonid aquaculture, a bacterial disease can have devastating outcomes for fish health. Take control with AQUAFLOR® (florfenicol) type A medicated feed article.
KEY BENEFITS OF AQUAFLOR
- Reduces mortality and keeps fish on feed for optimal growth and survival
- Broad-spectrum antibiotic developed specifically for aquaculture – not used in human medicine
- Can be fed in any life stage from fingerlings to food fish
- May be used in sinking or floating feeds
- AQUAFLOR is a heat-stable molecule during feed manufacturing, including extrusion, as well as storage
- 15-day withdrawal time for all species at all approved dosages
- Approved for use in recirculating aquaculture systems
In freshwater-reared salmonids, AQUAFLOR is approved for the control of mortality due to Flavobacterium psychrophilum (coldwater disease), furunculosis associated with Aeromonas salmonicida and columnaris disease associated with Flavobacterium columnare.
Palatable
- Fish readily consume medicated feed – studies show palatability compared to unmedicated feed
- Minimize wasted feed while maximizing antibiotic uptake
- Uniform granulation offers more accurate dosage delivery and optimum distribution in the medicated feed
Safe
- No adverse effects on fish behavior or performance, even when fed at 10 times the recommended dose rate1
