florfenicol is an antibiotic which has rapid and long-lasting effect
Method of acction:
it acts by inhibiting the biosynthesis of proteins though union whith the 70S sub-unit of bacterial robosomes
Absence of resistance:
100% sensitivity (studies carried out on thousands of strains show)
Effectiveness:
a highly effective in treating both PRDC and BRD

The low values of MIC against target pathogens show the high degree of effectiveness of forfenicol against the field strains of these micro-organisms.
Acts as a bactericide at concentrations very similar of the MICs
