Chlortetracycline Premix 15%

Product Name: Chlortetracycline PremixMain Ingredient: ChlortetracyclineDescription: This product is a brown or brownish granule (powder) without lumps or mildew.Specification: 1000g: 150g (1.5 billion units); 1000g: 200g (2 billion units)Pharmacological Action:This product belongs to the tetracycline class of drugs, which primarily inhibits the protein synthesis of susceptible microorganisms. It has a broad antibacterial spectrum, inhibiting Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, spirochetes, rickettsiae, mycoplasmas, chlamydiae, and some protozoa. Chlortetracycline mainly binds to the A site of the 30S subunit of microorganisms, thereby interfering with the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the 30S subunit and preventing it from entering the acceptor site on the mRNA, inhibiting the elongation of the peptide chain during protein synthesis; Chlortetracycline can also prevent the release of the synthesized protein peptide chain.

Indications and Usage: Used to treat post-weaning piglet diarrhea, pig asthma, and proliferative enteritis.

Introduction of Chlortetracycline Premix: 

Chlortetracycline Premix is a veterinary medicine used to prevent and treat bacterial infections in poultry and livestock. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the tetracycline family and is highly effective against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as some intracellular organisms. The premix formulation makes it easy to administer and provides a uniform dose to the animals. This article provides a detailed overview of Chlortetracycline Premix, including its properties, mechanism of action, uses, dosage, and precautions.Properties:Chlortetracycline Premix is a yellow-brown to light-brown powder, with a characteristic odor. The active ingredient is chlortetracycline, which is present in the form of chlortetracycline hydrochloride. The premix is formulated to provide a concentration of 10% chlortetracycline hydrochloride. It is soluble in water and has a pH of 2.5-3.5.Mechanism of Action:Chlortetracycline acts by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria. It binds to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, preventing the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A site, thus blocking the elongation of the polypeptide chain. This leads to the inhibition of bacterial growth and replication, ultimately resulting in bacterial death. Chlortetracycline is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Mycoplasma spp. and Rickettsia spp.Uses:Chlortetracycline Premix is primarily used to treat and prevent bacterial infections in poultry and livestock, including swine, cattle, sheep, and goats. It is effective against a variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory infections, enteritis, and mastitis. It is also used to improve growth performance and feed efficiency in animals.Dosage:The recommended dosage of Chlortetracycline Premix depends on the animal species, weight, and the severity of the infection. The premix is usually added to the animal\'s feed at a concentration of 50-100 mg of chlortetracycline per kg of body weight per day, for a period of 5-7 days. For prevention purposes, a lower concentration of 20-50 mg/kg body weight/day may be used. The premix should be thoroughly mixed with the feed to ensure a uniform distribution.Precautions:Chlortetracycline should be used with caution in animals with liver or kidney disease, as it may exacerbate the condition. It should also be avoided in pregnant or lactating animals, as it can affect fetal development and milk production. Chlortetracycline should not be used in animals that are hypersensitive to tetracyclines. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of feed or water sources with the premix.Conclusion:Chlortetracycline Premix is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat and prevent bacterial infections in poultry and livestock. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis, making it effective against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The premix formulation makes it easy to administer and provides a uniform dose to the animals. However, precautions should be taken when using Chlortetracycline to ensure the safety and efficacy of the treatment.
