Enrofloxacin

Enrofloxacin (CAS 93106-60-6) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic active ingredient used exclusively in veterinary medicine. It targets a broad spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial pathogens in production animals and companion animals.

Procurement demand is driven primarily by veterinary pharmaceutical manufacturers and licensed feed additive formulators. This active pharmaceutical ingredient is used in injectable and oral veterinary formulations to treat respiratory and systemic bacterial infections.

In cattle, swine, and poultry, it serves as a critical intervention for urinary and respiratory health. In companion animal medicine, it is formulated into tablets and ear drops for dogs and cats under prescription-only distribution frameworks.

Poultry producers in markets where its use remains approved incorporate it into drinking water concentrates for flock-level treatment programs. Contract manufacturers sourcing for generic veterinary drug production represent a significant buyer segment.

The material is supplied as an off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder in bulk quantities. Standard grades include pharmaceutical-grade material meeting USP and EP specifications for industrial use.

Certificates of analysis confirm purity typically at 98% or above by HPLC for all batches. Packaging ranges from kilogram-scale laboratory quantities to multi-kilogram drums for large-scale industrial API manufacturing requirements.
