Abstract
Twenty-two pig farms in States of Selangor and Negeri Sembilan were interviewed based on prepared questionnaires. The objectives of this study were to determine the handling, storage, dispensing, costs and the types of veterinary pharmaceutical products used in these pig farms. The most common antimicrobials used were chloramphenicol, neomycin, kanamycin, tetracycline ampicillin, sulphonamides, streptomycin and tylosin. 55% of the farms surveyed did not any veterinary supervision. Furthermore, it was noted that Department of Veterinary Services seldom provide its services to these farms. Naturally, pharmaceutical companies provided the most technical services to these pig farms. The calculated cost index was between $1. 90, and $2. 20. Finally, further legislation, more regulatory agencies and more consumer educati9n might help check abuses.
