Chlortetracycline

Chlortetracycline is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in animals, primarily livestock such as cattle, pigs, and poultry. It works by stopping bacteria from producing essential proteins, which prevents the bacteria from growing and spreading. This helps control infections like respiratory diseases, intestinal infections, and other bacterial illnesses in farm animals. While effective, it’s important to use it responsibly to avoid promoting antibiotic resistance. Chlortetracycline is typically administered through feed, water, or injections under veterinary guidance to ensure proper usage and animal health.
