Linco-Extra: Advanced Antibacterial Solution for Joint Infections, Respiratory Diseases, and Enteritis in Swine and Poultry

In modern livestock and poultry production, bacterial infections are a constant threat to health, productivity, and profitability. Diseases like arthritis, pneumonia, necrotic enteritis, and dysentery can spread rapidly, reduce growth rates, and result in high treatment costs and mortality.

To address these challenges, Sakan Vietnam presents Linco-Extra—a powerful, broad-spectrum antibacterial solution formulated with Lincomycin hydrochloride. Designed to tackle a range of Gram-positive bacterial infections, Linco-Extra is especially effective in pigs and poultry suffering from respiratory illness, joint swelling, and enteric disorders.

What is Linco-Extra?

Linco-Extra is a therapeutic powder formulated for oral administration via drinking water or mixed feed. It contains Lincomycin hydrochloride, a lincosamide-class antibiotic known for its deep tissue penetration and strong activity against anaerobic and Gram-positive bacteria.

Composition (Per 100 g):

• Lincomycin hydrochloride: 40 g

• Excipients: q.s. to 100 g

This potent formulation ensures fast absorption and consistent action against target pathogens.

How Linco-Extra Works

Lincomycin acts by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis at the 50S ribosomal subunit. This stops bacteria from replicating and allows the animal’s immune system to clear the infection effectively. Its unique mechanism makes it effective against:

• Mycoplasma spp.

• Streptococcus spp.

• Staphylococcus spp.

• Clostridium spp.

• Erysipelothrix

• Salmonella spp.

Thanks to its excellent bioavailability and tissue distribution, Linco-Extra is ideal for deep-seated infections in joints, lungs, intestines, and respiratory tissues.

Key Benefits of Linco-Extra

✅ 1. Effective Treatment of Joint Infections

Joint inflammation (arthritis) in pigs and poultry can be debilitating, leading to lameness, slow growth, and reduced feed intake. Linco-Extra targets pathogens like Streptococcus and Mycoplasma, rapidly reducing swelling and restoring mobility.

✅ 2. Powerful Respiratory Support

Respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, CRD, C-CRD, and infectious coryza are common in broilers, layers, and swine, especially in high-density environments. Linco-Extra helps relieve symptoms like:

• Coughing

• Labored breathing

• Nasal discharge

• Wheezing and gasping

This leads to better oxygen intake, improved energy levels, and overall performance.

✅ 3. Controls Necrotic Enteritis and Dysentery

Gut infections caused by Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella, or E. coli can result in necrotic enteritis, bloody diarrhea, and high mortality in poultry and swine. Linco-Extra helps:

• Restore gut integrity

• Reduce inflammation

• Improve feed conversion ratio

• Minimize production losses

✅ 4. Broad-Spectrum Bacterial Coverage

From systemic bacterial infections to localized gut or respiratory issues, Linco-Extra provides broad-spectrum antibacterial protection with one simple formulation—eliminating the need for multiple medications.

✅ 5. No Withdrawal Time for Swine

A significant advantage of Linco-Extra is its zero withdrawal period for pigs—meaning pork can be marketed immediately after the treatment ends, with no waiting time. For chickens, the withdrawal period is only 5 days.

Indications for Use

Linco-Extra is indicated for the treatment and prevention of infections caused by bacteria sensitive to Lincomycin, including:

• Arthritis

• Pneumonia

• CRD (Chronic Respiratory Disease)

• C-CRD (Complicated CRD)

• Coryza (infectious rhinitis)

• Pasteurellosis (hemorrhagic septicemia)

• Necrotic enteritis

• Salmonellosis

• White and red dysentery

Contraindications

• Do not use in animals hypersensitive to Lincomycin or other lincosamides

• Not for use in:

  • Ruminants (e.g., cattle, goats, sheep)

  • Horses, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, rabbits

  • Egg-laying birds producing commercial eggs

These animals have unique gastrointestinal flora that may react adversely to Lincomycin.

Withdrawal Times

• Swine: 0 days

• Chickens: 5 days before slaughter

This short withdrawal period makes Linco-Extra suitable for intensive production operations where market timing is crucial.
