Salinomycin 12% Granular Feed Grade
Salinomycin 12% Granular Feed Grade is an ionophore antibiotic widely used as a coccidiostat in poultry and livestock feed. It helps control and prevent coccidiosis, a parasitic disease affecting the intestinal tract of animals, thereby improving growth performance and feed efficiency. This granular formulation ensures uniform mixing in feed and stable dosage delivery.
Primary Uses
Animal Feed Additive
Incorporated into poultry feed to prevent and control coccidiosis infections.
Used in cattle and swine feed to improve feed efficiency and promote growth by controlling intestinal parasites.
Helps reduce mortality and morbidity rates related to coccidial infections in livestock production.
Veterinary Medicine
Employed as a prophylactic agent in commercial animal farming operations.
Secondary Uses
Research & Development
Studied for potential anticancer and anti-biofilm properties in medical research.
Agriculture
Investigated as a potential agent for soil pathogen control due to its antimicrobial activity.
