Aquaflor*-L
Description: 2% florfenicol solution for inclusion into fish feed
Active Ingredient: Florfenicol
Formulation: 20mg florfenicol per ml propylene glycol
Pharmacologic Properties: Florfenicol is a broad spectrum antibiotic which is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Florfenicol is both a bacteriostatic and a bactericidal antibiotic. Its activity is due to the inhibition of protein synthesis and results from the binding of bacterial ribosomes in such a way as to prevent ongoing translation of mRNA into protein. Aeromonas salmonicida has been shown to be sensitive to florfenicol concentrations of 1.6  g/ml or less and Edwardsiella ictaluri has an MIC of <= 0.25 g/ml. Target Species: Perciformes (yellowtail, red sea bream, tilapia), Anguillidae (eels) and Clupeiformes.
Key Benefits:
- Liquid to be absorbed on crumbled feed and pellets.
- Highly palatable.
- Well tolerated by fish.
- Effective against a range of bacterial diseases.
- Effective in fresh and salt water.
- Different mode of action vs. other antibiotics used in aquaculture, therefore likely to be effective against multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria.
- Minimal environmental effect.
