Used primarily in veterinary medicine as an antibiotic to treat and prevent bacterial infections in animals, such as respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urinary tract diseases, particularly in livestock and poultry. It is effective against a range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, helping to control diseases that can impact animal health and productivity. Additionally, it is used as a feed additive to promote growth and improve nutrient absorption efficiency. Suitable for pets and economic animals such as pigs, cattle, buffalo, and poultry. It is sometimes employed in research settings as a selective agent in microbiological studies to inhibit bacterial growth in culture media. Its application is crucial in ensuring the health of agricultural animals and supporting food safety. However, it should be used under the guidance of a veterinarian to prevent antibiotic resistance and potential side effects.
