Abstract
Eighteen aborted sows naturally infected with B. suis biovar. 2 were allotted in
two groups each of 9 animals. All sows were treated with oxytetracycline given in feed (20
mg/Kg BW daily) during 45 days after abortion, and the half of animals received a combined
intramuscular treatment with gentamicin (4 g/day) during the last 15 days of treatment. Ten
days after treatment, sows were slaughtered and several lymph nodes, uterus and spleen
submitted to bacteriological studies. All animals treated with oxytetracycline alone were
found infected in one or more necropsy samples. By contrast, 100% of the animals receiving
the combined treatment with gentamicin were fully cured from infection. In conclusion,
monotherapy with oxytetracycline is not effective enough against B. suis biovar. 2 infection in
sows, while combining this treatment regime with gentamicin during 15 days is fully effective
against infection.
