Neomycin sulfate feed grade is a type of antibiotic commonly used in livestock and poultry production. It belongs to the aminoglycoside class of antibiotics and is primarily used to prevent and treat bacterial infections in animals.
Neomycin sulfate feed grade is effective against a wide range of Gram-negative bacteria, including E. coli and Salmonella, which can cause diseases in animals. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacterial cells, which ultimately leads to their death and the control of infections.
This antibiotic is commonly added to animal feed to ensure uniform distribution and consumption by the animals.
