Tilmicosin Phosphate

Tilmicosin Phosphate appears as a white, crystalline, odorless powder, soluble in water, with higher solubility in organic solvents such as methanol and ethanol. It is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic derived from tylosin, known for its prolonged action and targeted efficacy against bacterial infections in livestock. Its chemical structure provides increased stability and a high affinity for lung tissues and macrophages, making it a preferred choice for treating respiratory infections.

Applications:

1. Veterinary Industry:

   • Primarily used to treat respiratory infections in cattle, sheep, and poultry caused by Gram-positive bacteria and certain Gram-negative strains.
   • Effective against Pasteurella multocida, Mannheimia haemolytica, and Mycoplasma spp.
   • Administered through medicated feed premixes, injections, or drinking water solutions.

2. Animal Feed Additive:

   • Helps improve overall herd health by reducing economic losses associated with chronic respiratory diseases.
   • Promotes growth and feed conversion efficiency by preventing subclinical infections.

3. Scientific Research:

   • Used in pharmacokinetic studies to evaluate its behavior in animal bodies.
   • Serves as a reference in the development of new veterinary antimicrobials.
