Enrofloxacin
ANTIBACTERIALS
Not veterinary advice. This is reference material, not veterinary advice, and it contains no dosages on purpose. Dose, course length and withdrawal all depend on the specific product, the formulation and the bird — the label on the bottle and your veterinarian govern, not this page.
- Treats
- Bacterial infections including E. coli and Salmonella
- Route
- Drinking water
- Withdrawal, indicative
- Studies indicate roughly 3–7 days
One review found withdrawal did not exceed 5 days against EU and Chilean residue limits; others report 3–7. Formulation and residue limit both move the number — follow the label.
What to know
- A fluoroquinolone, and a class of high importance in human medicine. Many countries restrict or ban its use in poultry for exactly that reason.
- Prescription territory. Do not use it as a routine preventive.
- Residues are an export problem as much as a food-safety one.
Before you sell
Withdrawal periods shown here are indicative ranges drawn from published studies. They vary by formulation, dose, route, tissue and the residue limit being applied — the same molecule can differ by weeks between products. Never sell or slaughter birds on a figure from a website.
