Aflatoxin B2-13C17(AFB2-13C17) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of AFB2by GC- or LC-MS. AFB2is a mycotoxin that has been found inA. terricola.1It induces hepatic autophagy and apoptosis in broiler chickens when administered at doses of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 mg kg.2AFB2(0.5 and 1 mg animal) also induces parenchymal cell hyperplasia in rats.3 1.Moubasher, A.H., el-Kady, I.A., and Shoriet, A.Toxigenic Aspergilli isolated from different sources in EgyptAnn.

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.

Phenelfamycin E is an antibiotic originally isolated from Streptomyces. It is active against β-hemolytic Streptoccus, S. pneumoniae, C. difficile, C. perfringens, and P. magnus128 μg/ml). Phenelfamycin E (4-64 mg/kg) increases survival in a mouse model of lethal S. pyogenes infection in a dose-dependent manner. Dietary administration of phenelfamycin E increases body weight in chickens.
Furaltadone L-tartrate (Altafur L-tartrate), a nitrofuran antimicrobial agent, is potentially useful for researching Salmonella enteritidis infections in chickens. It demonstrates both inhibitory and bactericidal properties against Staphylococci in vitro.
