Usage Chlortetracycline was the first reported member of the tetracycline class, isolated from Streptomyces aureofaciens in 1948. Chlortetracyclines heralded the early wave of antibiotic discoveries from microbes and after 50 years are still widely used as pharmaceuticals. Chlortetracycline is a pigment and, like most pigments, is extremely sensitive to environmental and storage conditions. Commercial chlortetracycline may contain significant levels of degradation products.
Chlortetracycline (trade name Aureomycin, Lederle) is a tetracycline antibiotic, the first tetracycline to be identified. It was discovered in 1945 by Benjamin Minge Duggar working at Lederle Laboratories under the supervision of Yellapragada Subbarow. Duggar identified the antibiotic as the product of an actinomycete he cultured from a soil sample collected from Sanborn Field at the University of Missouri. The organism was named Streptomyces aureofaciens and the isolated drug, Aureomycin, because of their golden color.
In veterinary medicine, chlortetracycline is commonly used to treat conjunctivitis in cats.
CTC (chlortetracycline) 4G Crumbles, CTC 8G Crumbles, and CTC 10G Crumbles are to be mixed into ruminant rations to aid in the prevention and treatment of many livestock diseases.
In sheep CTC will increase the rate of weight gain and improve feed efficiency, and reduce the incidence of (vibrionic) abortion caused by Campylobacter fetus infection.
When To Use CTC Crumbles
Feed CTC Crumbles at the level recommended to obtain the desired performance and to aid in the prevention and reduction of various disease problems.
