Sulfachloropyridazine Sodium

Sulfachloropyridazine Sodium

Sulfachloropyridazine Sodium is a fast-acting, broad-spectrum sulfonamide antibiotic and anticoccidial agent, highly valued in intensive livestock farming. It is particularly renowned for its potent efficacy against Escherichia coli (colibacillosis) and Salmonella infections, as well as coccidiosis caused by Eimeria species. As the sodium salt form, it features excellent water solubility, allowing for rapid preparation and absorption via drinking water systems. This ensures quick therapeutic blood levels, making it an ideal choice for treating acute outbreaks where animals may have reduced feed intake but continue to drink. Sulfachloropyridazine Sodium is a critical tool for managing severe enteritis and septicemia in poultry and swine, helping to reduce mortality and restore production performance.
