Description

Flumequine is a synthetic antibacterial agent belonging to the quinolone class, specifically developed for veterinary applications. Its primary value lies in its potent efficacy against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative bacteria, making it a critical tool for managing bacterial infections in livestock and aquaculture. This product is essential for manufacturers in the animal health sector, particularly for formulating medicated feed and water treatments to ensure herd health and food safety. Flumequine CAS NO 42835-25-6 is supplied to meet the stringent quality demands of pharmaceutical and veterinary ingredient supply chains.

Application

• Veterinary Pharmaceuticals: Primary active ingredient in oral formulations for the treatment of bacterial enteritis and respiratory infections in swine, poultry, and cattle.
• Aquaculture Health Management: Used in medicated feed to control systemic bacterial diseases, such as furunculosis, in farmed fish like salmon and trout.
• Medicated Feed Premixes: Incorporated into feed additives to prevent and treat bacterial outbreaks in intensive livestock farming operations.
• Poultry Industry: Administration via drinking water to combat E. coli and Salmonella infections in broilers and layers.
• Companion Animal Care: Found in certain topical or oral preparations for dogs and cats under veterinary prescription.
• Intermediate for Synthesis: Serves as a key chemical intermediate in the research and development of newer quinolone derivatives.
