How often can I give my pigs antibiotics? What are the basic medications for pig and their administering circle ?

Dr Stafford, BVetMed, MRCVS · Accepted Answer

You should only give your pigs antibiotics for a medical reason diagnosed by a vet. Then the length and frequency of dosing will be determined by the severity and type of condition. Usually it involves a daily injection for 5 days up to 2 weeks. Unfortunately I cannot legally give you specific information about prescription drugs, but your vet will be able to advise you. There are various antibiotics and antinflammatories of use in swine.
