• Disease control: Carbadox is used to control and prevent bacterial diseases in pigs, such as swine dysentery and bacterial swine enteritis. It is added to feed to control enteric pathogens known to cause diarrhea (“scours”).
• Growth promotion: It is used as a feed additive to promote growth and improve feed efficiency in pigs. This means pigs gain weight more quickly and use their feed more efficiently. 

ADMINISTRATION

• Feed additive: The most common method of administration is by adding carbadox to the feed of pigs.
• Concentration: The concentration in the feed is typically higher during early growth phases and may be reduced or stopped later, according to studies
