Yumamycin 1%

(Maduramicina ammonium)

Maduramicin is a monovalent glycoside polyether ionophore antibiotic. It induces an anticoccidial effect on the asexual forms (sporozoites, merozoites and falciform bodies) of the endogenous development of coccidia (Eimeria tenella, E.acervulina, E.mivati, E.brunetti, E.maxima, E.necatrix) in poultry, some resistant forms to other ionophore antibiotics included. Its anticoccidial activity is due to disorder in ion metabolism (potassium and sodium in particular). It is incompatible with tiamulin.
