Ceftiofur Sodium Sterile Powder for Injection
Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of premium veterinary cephalosporins. We provide high-purity Ceftiofur Sodium Sterile Powder, sourced from WHO–GMP certified sterile facilities. This advanced 3rd Generation Cephalosporin is a top export to intensive dairy farms and feedlots in the USA, Brazil, Turkey, and Southeast Asia, widely preferred because it offers potent broad-spectrum activity with zero to minimal milk withdrawal periods.
Product Overview
This formulation contains Ceftiofur Sodium, a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including β-lactamase-producing strains.
The “Dairy-Safe” Specialist:
- Zero Milk Withdrawal: In many regulatory jurisdictions, this molecule allows for zero milk discard times when used according to label, making it the #1 choice for lactating dairy cows.
- Respiratory Potency: specifically engineered to target pathogens causing Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) and Swine Respiratory Disease (SRD).
- Active Metabolite: Rapidly metabolized into desfuroylceftiofur, which maintains high antibacterial concentrations in infected tissues (especially lung tissue).
- Bactericidal: Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, causing rapid cell death.
