SKF Veterinary Product List in Bangladesh

Eskayef Animal Health is the veterinary arm of Eskayef Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Its range on Arogga covers the working end of a farm pharmacy: zinc and mineral supplements, injectable and water-soluble antibiotics, dewormers, anticoccidials, liver tonics, electrolytes, gut products and udder care. The grid above is the live list, with pack size, current price, and stock on each listing.

What follows is a guide to reading it. Which group a product belongs to, what the form on the label means for how you give it, and the two rules that matter most on a farm: make it up fresh, and respect the withdrawal period.

SKF, SK&F and Eskayef Are the Same Company

Three forms of the name are in common use, and all three are correct. SK&F is the historical form, from SmithKline & French, whose Bangladesh operation became this company. Eskayef is that initialism written out phonetically, and it is the registered name today. SKF is the everyday short form, and it is what appears on most of the pack fronts in this range.

In Bangla script, the same initialism is written এসকেএফ. If you were sent here looking for SK&F veterinary products or an Eskayef animal health list, you are in the right place.

A few product names circulate that are not in this catalogue. If you are after something you saw on a dealer’s shelf and cannot find it in the grid, check the active ingredient rather than the trade name. The same molecule is often listed here under a different one.

Zinc Supplements

Zinc is the deepest part of this range by pack count and the part most farms reorder. It sits behind skin and footpad integrity, gut lining repair and immune response, and a deficiency shows up as poor feathering, slow growth, and birds that do not recover well after a challenge. Two families cover it, and they are not interchangeable.

Xinc B Vet

The oral solution, sold in bottle sizes that scale from a small shed to a commercial house. A 500ml bottle suits a single flock cycle; the larger containers are for farms dosing continuously through a header tank.

Xinc-Care

A separate preparation in its own size ladder, from a small bottle up to a five-litre container. Read the label rather than assuming the two families dose alike; the concentration differs, so a rate worked out for one is the wrong rate for the other.

Both sit on the Electrolytes, Vitamins & Minerals Supplement shelf alongside the rest of the mineral range.

Antibacterials and Anti-Infectives

This is the prescription end of the catalogue. Every product here is an antibiotic or an anti-infective; it is dispensed on a veterinary surgeon’s instruction, and the dose is set by body weight and by the condition being treated. Nothing written here is a substitute for that instruction.

Injectables

Injectable presentations are for individual animals rather than flocks — a sick cow, a valuable breeder, a case that will not drink. They act faster than water dosing because nothing depends on the animal’s appetite.

Water-Soluble Powders and Udder Care

Powders treat a whole herd through the drinking line. The mastitis preparation is the exception in this group — it is dosed to the individual cow, and udder problems need a diagnosis before a product, because the organism involved changes the answer.

The wider shelves are Anti-Infective Preparations and Anti-Bacterial.

Dewormers and Coccidiosis Products

Two different problems that get confused because both show as scour and poor growth. Worms are parasites in the gut wall and are dealt with by an anthelmintic. Coccidiosis is caused by a protozoan and needs an anticoccidial; a dewormer will do nothing for it.

Anthelmintics

Rotating between classes matters here. Using the same active repeatedly builds resistance in the worm population on a holding, and the product that used to work stops working.

Anticoccidials

Coccidiosis is a management problem as much as a treatment one. It builds in damp litter, so the treatment fixes the outbreak and the litter fixes the cause.

Liver Tonics and Metabolic Support

A bird or a cow pushed hard on feed carries a metabolic load, and the liver takes most of it. Liver tonics are given as support during and after that load rather than as a treatment for a diagnosed liver disease, which is a different conversation with a vet.

Electrolytes, Vitamins and Minerals

The largest group by listing count, and the one used every cycle rather than only when something goes wrong. Electrolytes go in ahead of a predictable stress — a hot spell, a vaccination day, transport, a feed change — not after the birds are already down.

Solutions and Concentrates

Injections, Sachets and Blocks

The same nutrients reach an animal in three ways. An injection is for a single animal that needs it now. A sachet goes into water or feed. A mineral block is free-choice, left in the shed for cattle to use as they want.

These span Nutritional Preparations and Vitamins & minerals supplements.

Gut Products and Immune Support

Live yeast and gut conditioners work by occupying the gut rather than by killing anything, which is why they are given before a problem and continued through it. They also sit alongside an antibiotic course rather than replacing it.

The relevant shelves are Probiotics & Immunomodulators Preparations and Immunoenhancer & Immune Stimulator.

Reading the Form on the Label

Most of this catalogue comes in more than one form, and the form decides how you use it more than the active ingredient does.

Injection

Individual animals only, and the route matters. IM and IV are not interchangeable; giving an intravenous preparation into muscle can cause a reaction, and the reverse wastes the dose.

Oral Solution

Measured into drinking water for a whole group. The practical limit is that sick birds drink less, so the animals that need it most take in the smallest share.

Powder and Sachet

Either dissolved in water or mixed through feed. A sachet stirred into the top of a sack reaches the birds fed first and nothing after that, which is why feed mixing is done in stages.

Dosing Through Water or Feed

Medicated Water

Make it up fresh every day. Most actives break down in warm water over hours, and a tank left standing overnight in this climate is delivering something weaker than what was measured into it. Birds also need to be thirsty enough to drink the dose, so water is commonly withdrawn for a short period beforehand on veterinary advice.

Feed Mixing

A small sachet cannot be distributed through a full sack in one step. Mix it into a few kilograms first, then fold that premix through the batch. Uneven mixing is the most common reason a correctly chosen product appears not to work.

Withdrawal Periods

Not everything in this range carries a withdrawal period. The supplements, electrolytes and mineral products generally do not. The antibiotics, the anthelmintics and the anticoccidials do, and confusing the two groups is where a farm gets caught out.

Where one applies, it is the number of days that must pass after the last dose before milk, eggs or meat from that animal can be sold. The figure is on the pack, and it is law rather than advice. It changes with the product, the species, and how the dose was given, so no number is printed here. Read it from the pack in your hand and write the date down.

Disinfectants and housing products have no withdrawal period in the same sense but do have contact-time and dilution instructions that matter just as much. Those sit under Disinfectant & Sanitizer.

What Moves the Figure on a Listing

Pack size is the biggest factor, and the per-litre or per-gram cost usually falls as the container gets larger — which is why the same product appears here in four sizes. Beyond that, the form changes it.

An injectable presentation costs more per animal treated than a water-soluble powder, because it is manufactured to a sterile standard. Promotions and stock movement do the rest. The grid above carries the current figure on every listing, so check it there rather than anywhere else.

Where Eskayef Animal Health Sits on Arogga

The brand page is a hub. It gathers everything from this manufacturer in one grid so you can see the range and compare pack sizes. The detail that decides a purchase lives on the individual product page: exact volume, composition, current price, and whether it is in stock today. Open the listing before you order, especially for anything prescription-only, where the pack you receive must match what your vet specified.

For a mixed farm order, it is worth browsing the Anti-Inflammatory Preparations shelf as well, which draws on several manufacturers.

About Eskayef Animal Health

Eskayef Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is a Bangladeshi manufacturer headquartered in Dhaka, with its main production site at Tongi in Gazipur. The company began as the Bangladesh operation of SmithKline & French — the source of the SK&F initials still printed on its packs — and passed into local ownership when it was acquired by Transcom Group in 1990. The present name is that initialism spelled phonetically.

It is one of the country’s larger pharmaceutical manufacturers, and its Tongi facility has held US FDA approval since 2015. The business runs several divisions: human pharmaceuticals, animal health, and crop sciences.

Animal Health is the division behind the veterinary range, which is built around commercial poultry and dairy rather than around pets: zinc and mineral supplements, water-soluble and injectable antibiotics, anthelmintics, anticoccidials, electrolytes, liver tonics, probiotics and udder preparations. Most are supplied in the multiple pack sizes a working farm needs, from a single-flock bottle up to a bulk container.

The division sells through veterinary dealers, feed suppliers and livestock service networks across the country, and its products are widely used in commercial broiler, layer and dairy operations. Arogga lists the range for direct online ordering, which gives smaller farms access to the same packs without going through a regional dealer. Prescription-only items still require a veterinary instruction.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are SKF, SK&F and Eskayef different brands?

No. They are three ways of writing the same company. SK&F is the historical form, Eskayef is the registered name, and SKF is the short form used on most packs.

2. Is there a downloadable PDF of the product list?

No, and a static file would go out of date. The grid above is generated from live stock, so it reflects what can actually be ordered today rather than what was in print when a document was made.

3. Can I use a poultry product on cattle?

Not unless the label says so. Doses are set by body weight and by species, and some actives cleared for one species are not cleared for another. Treat the species on the label as a hard limit.

4. How long after treatment can I sell eggs or milk?

That is the withdrawal period, and it is printed on the pack. It changes by product, species and route, so read it from the pack you bought rather than from a general figure.

5. Do I need a prescription?

For the antibiotics and anti-infectives, yes. Supplements, electrolytes, and mineral blocks are not prescription items, but a vet is still the right person to say whether a supplement is the answer to what you are seeing.

6. Why does the same product come in four sizes?

Because a backyard shed and a commercial house need very different volumes. The larger containers generally work out cheaper per dose, but only if the product is used before its opened shelf life runs out.

7. এসকেএফ ভেটেরিনারি পণ্যের তালিকা কোথায় পাব?

এই পৃষ্ঠার উপরের গ্রিডেই এসকেএফ অ্যানিমেল হেলথের সব পণ্য রয়েছে — জিংক ও মিনারেল সাপ্লিমেন্ট, অ্যান্টিবায়োটিক, কৃমিনাশক, ইলেকট্রোলাইট ও লিভার টনিক। প্রতিটি পণ্যের দাম, প্যাক সাইজ ও স্টক তার নিজস্ব পেজে দেওয়া আছে।
