Monensin Sodium 40% Premix
CAS NO.: 17090-79-8
Specification: 20%, 40% Premix
Characteristics: Yellow-brown or grayish in powder or granular.
PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION
Monensin is a polyether antibiotic of the ionophore group. It exerts an anticoccidial action against Eimeria tenella, E. acervulina, E. praecox, E. mitis, E. brunetti, E. maxima, E. necatrix in chickens and chickens reared for laying. It is also applied for the prophylactic control of E. gallopavoris, E. meleagrimitis and E. adenoeides affecting turkeys for fattening (up to 16 weeks of age). Its action is connected with the formation of lipophilic complexes with monovalent ions (sodium and potassium), making the membranes of the coccidial cells permeable to the ions mentioned; hence the active sodium and potassium transport is disturbed. Sodium and chloride are accumulated into the cells of the parasites, drawing water into merozoites and sporozoites, causing their swelling and rupture. An additional influence is the impeded transport of carbohydrate and the active sporozoite glycolysis provoked by monensin. Applied at the recommended dosage levels in fowls, monensin is practically not absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and is not deposited in muscles and internal organs. Nevertheless, a withdrawal period of 1 day is recommended for slaughter of treated chickens for human consumption. The safety margin of the antibiotic is narrow; therefore it must be applied at the accurate dosage levels.
