Doxycycline stops the growth of bacteria by allosterically binding to the 30S
prokaryotic ribosomal unit during protein synthesis.
In veterinary medicine, DOXIZER-20 is typically administered orally to cattle, pigs, and poultry. It is effective against respiratory and gastrointestinal infections caused by micro-organisms sensitive to
doxycycline, like E. coli, Salmonella, Mycoplasma, Pasteurella, Bordetella, Streptococcus, Campylobacter and Haemophilus spp. in calves, poultry and pigs.
