AASV Foundation-funded Report Available: Evaluating the Plasma Pharmacokinetics, Efficacy and Tissue Residues of Oral Firocoxib Following Transmammary Delivery from Sows to Piglets

March 2, 2020 — 

The American Association of Swine Veterinarians Foundation (AASVF) funded a project, "Evaluating the plasma pharmacokinetics, efficacy and tissue residues of oral firocoxib following transmammary delivery from sows to piglets," led by Dr Hans Coetzee from Kansas State University. The objectives of the study were to describe the pharmacokinetics (PK) and bioavailability of oral firocoxib in sows, develop and validate a drug regimen for transmammary delivery of oral firocoxib from sows to piglets at processing, and describe the tissue residue concentrations of firocoxib in sows and piglets following oral administration. The final report with detailed findings is available on the AASV Foundation-funded Research page, or view the report directly.
