Aquaflor (florfenicol) for ColdWater Disease
Natural Disease Challenge

The results of these trials show the value of using AQUAFLOR (florfenicol) — the first and only antibiotic approved for controlling mortality in freshwater-reared salmonids due to coldwater disease associated with Flavobacterium psychrophilum — in natural disease challenge conditions.

AQUAFLOR demonstrated a statistically significant difference in mortality versus untreated controls.
No moribund fish were observed in treated tanks during the post-treatment observation period, indicating that AQUAFLOR effectively controlled the coldwater disease outbreak.

Mean mortality was controlled by AQUAFLOR within 4-5 days post-treatment versus 29 days in the untreated group.
