What is Flavomycin?
Flavomycin® is a microflora manager consisting of a granular fermentation product of Streptomyces ghanaensis. Flavomycin® improves performance and is active against a broad spectrum of bacteria while enforcing the natural defence system by sparing beneficial gut bacteria.
What is bambermycin used for?
Bambermycin is a performance-enhancing antibiotic intended and available solely for use in animal nutrition. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit the synthesis of the bacterial wall. Bambermycin is predominately effective against Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria.
What is Avilamycin?
Avilamycin is an orthosomycin antibiotic complex produced by the fermentation of Streptomyces viridochromogenes. Avilamycin is intended for use as a veterinary medicine in chickens, turkeys, pigs and rabbits to control bacterial enteric infections.
Is salinomycin an antibiotic?
Salinomycin is a 750 Da monocarboxylic polyether antibiotic with unique tricyclic spiroketal ring systems and an unsaturated six-membered ring. The molecular formula of salinomycin is C42H70O11.
What class of drug is salinomycin?
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as diterpene glycosides. These are diterpenoids in which an isoprene unit is glycosylated.

Are coccidiostats antibiotics?
Chemical and ionophore coccidiostats are available to combat coccidiosis. Ionophores are defined as antibiotics, whilst chemical anticoccidials are not antibiotics and may be used to combat coccidiosis in poultry labelled “raised without antibiotics”.
Are coccidiostats ionophores?
Ionophore coccidiostats are defined as lipophilic chelating agents that transport cations across cell membranes, and this mechanism is not only efficient against coccidian, but it can act also against the mammalian cells.
What is the function of coccidiostats?
Coccidiostats are antiprotozoal agents that act on coccidia parasites by inhibiting reproduction and retarding the development of the parasite in a host cell. They are most commonly used in poultry populations by addition in the feed at the authorized levels and observing the prescribed hygiene requirements.
