The following microorganisms are very sensitive to thiamphenicol:

Streptococcus, Pasteurella, Shigella, Brucella, Pseudomonas and Erysipelothrix.

Composition:

Each one ml contains:  Thiamphenicol 250 mg.

Target species:

  2. Medicated water should be consumed within 12 hrs.
Contra – Indication:
  • Not used for layers producing eggs for human consumption.
