4.4
SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES
Medicated drinking water uptake can be affected by the severity of the
disease. In
case of insufficient uptake of water, pigs should be treated
parenterally.
The susceptibility of _Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae_ to antimicrobial
agents is difficult
to test _in vitro_ owing to technical constraints. In addition, there
is a lack of clinical
breakpoints for both _M. hyopneumoniae _and _C. perfringens_. Where
possible, therapy
should be based on local (regional, farm level) epidemiological
information
concerning the response of enzootic pneumonia/necrotic enteritis to
treatment with
lincomycin.
