Florfenicol: A Powerful Protector in Modern Livestock, Poultry, and Aquaculture

Florfenicol (CAS No.: 73231-34-6) is an outstanding broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the amphenicol class. Its structure has been optimized to effectively overcome the potential bone marrow suppression side effects associated with traditional chloramphenicol-like drugs. In the field of modern veterinary antibiotics, Florfenicol holds a central position in livestock medicationpoultry medication, and aquaculture medication due to its high efficacy and safety profile. It acts by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, rapidly killing or inhibiting a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, demonstrating significant efficacy against common pathogens like Salmonella, Pasteurella, and Streptococcus.

Unique Mechanism of Action and Broad Indications

Florfenicol's mechanism of action involves binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, thereby blocking peptide chain elongation and ultimately inhibiting protein synthesis. This unique mechanism confers potent antibacterial activity, making it an ideal choice for bacterial infection treatment across various applications:

  • Livestock and Poultry: Widely used in pigs, cattle, sheep, and other animals to effectively control and treat bacterial respiratory diseases (e.g., porcine pleuropneumonia, bovine respiratory disease complex), enteric infections (e.g., E. coli disease, salmonellosis), as well as mastitis and metritis.

  • Aquaculture: In the farming of fish, shrimp, and other aquatic animals, Florfenicol demonstrates excellent preventive and curative effects against prevalent diseases such as bacterial septicemia, gill rot, and enteritis, making it one of the key drugs for ensuring healthy aquaculture.
