Product Overview
Erythromycin Thiocyanate is a macrolide antibiotic used in veterinary medicine, particularly for poultry and livestock. It is a thiocyanate salt form of erythromycin designed for feed additive applications. Erythromycin was first discovered in 1952 from Saccharopolyspora erythraea and has since become one of the most widely used macrolide antibiotics in both human and veterinary medicine.
In veterinary applications, Erythromycin Thiocyanate demonstrates excellent efficacy against Gram-positive bacteria including Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Clostridium species, as well as mycoplasma infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis through binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. As a feed-grade antibiotic, it is primarily administered through feed for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes in intensive livestock and poultry production.
