avilamycin a

Avilamycin A is an antibiotic.1 It is active against veterinary isolates of C. perfringens (MICs = ≤0.06-0.5 mg/L) and B. hyodysenteriae (MICs = 12.5-100 μg/ml).1,2 Dietary administration of avilamycin A (15 and 30 ppm) reduces mortality in a broiler cockerel model of C. perfringens infection.3 Formulations containing avilamycin A have been used in the prevention of necrotic enteritis in livestock. |1.
