Product Overview
Ceftiofur HCl is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic developed specifically for veterinary use. It has broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens commonly found in livestock.
Ceftiofur inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Its active metabolite, desfuroylceftiofur, maintains antimicrobial activity. It is widely used in cattle, swine, and poultry.
