If you observe non-specific symptoms of a viral or bacterial disease (lethargy, respiratory distress, diarrhea, etc.) and suspect a viral or bacterial infection, use LOBAMAX Poultry as a first-line treatment. Do not wait until animals become weaker or stop drinking. You take no risk: LOBAMAX Poultry is non-toxic and does not induce resistance.

LOBAMAX Poultry is non-toxic and does not cause resistance.

No, LOBAMAX Poultry does not induce any bacterial resistance.

Yes. It is the only treatment effective against viruses. It should be used at the first signs of infection, while the animal is still able to drink, to prevent secondary bacterial infections.

In 2019, antibiotic resistance caused approximately 1.05 million deaths in Africa.
In some sub-Saharan African countries, more than 100 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants are attributed to bacterial resistance.
More than 30% of newborns with sepsis die due to antibiotic resistance.
32.2% of hospitalized children carry enterobacteria resistant to broad-spectrum cephalosporins, and 53.8% are discharged carrying multidrug-resistant bacteria.
If no action is taken, deaths linked to antimicrobial resistance could quadruple in Africa by 2050, reaching 4.1 million per year.
Globally, antimicrobial resistance could cause nearly 39 million deaths between 2025 and 2050, with a high concentration in Africa and South Asia.
Fourteen African countries, including Senegal, are currently facing an alarming increase in resistant infections, according to a major study conducted by Africa CDC.

Use LOBAMAX Poultry as a first-line treatment in all poultry farms.
Prioritize responsible and non-systematic use of antibiotics, only when clearly indicated.
In bacterial diseases, verify bacterial sensitivity through an antibiogram whenever possible.
Limit antibiotic use as much as possible.
Manage inflammation to improve animal comfort and recovery.
Promote preventive alternatives such as vaccination, improved biosecurity, adapted nutrition, and functional feeds.
Train farmers on the risks of improper antibiotic use and good farming practices, including compliance with indications and dosages.

LOBAMAX Poultry can be used from the earliest age. There are no contraindications in chicks.

There is no need to combine LOBAMAX Poultry with antibiotics, as it is already effective against bacteria. In addition, it does not induce resistance and is non-toxic. Using antibiotics simultaneously with LOBAMAX Poultry increases the risk of antimicrobial resistance and generates unnecessary treatment costs.
