Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Activity
Tilmicosin, the active ingredient in Tilmitreat, is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic with potent activity. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, exerting a bacteriostatic effect that can become bactericidal at higher concentrations. This makes Tilmitreat highly effective in controlling respiratory pathogens that commonly afflict poultry flocks.
Pharmacokinetics and Administration
Tilmitreat is typically administered orally via drinking water, allowing easy mass medication of poultry flocks. After administration, tilmicosin reaches peak blood concentrations within hours and concentrates in lung tissues, targeting the site of infection directly.
Advantages of Tilmitreat
- Long-acting macrolide antibiotic with excellent tissue penetration, especially in respiratory tissues.
- Effective against a wide range of poultry pathogens, including difficult-to-treat mycoplasmas and clostridia.
- Easy oral administration via drinking water, facilitating flock-wide treatment.
- Improves clinical outcomes by reducing mortality, respiratory signs, and bacterial load.
Tilmitreat, with its active ingredient Tilmicosin Phosphate, represents an advanced and reliable treatment option for managing respiratory and systemic bacterial diseases in poultry. Its potent antibacterial spectrum, targeted tissue distribution, and ease of administration make it a valuable asset for poultry producers aiming to maintain flock health, reduce losses, and enhance productivity.
