intermediates for livestock health
Intermediates are used to manufacture livestock antibiotics used in animal husbandry. They can be used for therapeutic treatment in ill animals, treatment of a group of animals (when at least one is diagnosed with an infection), or as a preventative treatment. Livestock antibiotics are a key tool to treat disease and to safeguard animal health in cattle, sheep, horses, and goats.
key building blocks for livestock antibiotics

3,5-Lupetidine (3,5-Dimethylpiperidine) is an intermediate used in synthesis of Tilmicosin, a generic veterinary macrolide antibiotic, particularly useful in bovine respiratory disease. Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the leading cause of mortality in feedlot cattle and can lead to significant losses for beef producers.
3,5-Lutidine (3,5-Dimethylpyridine) is an essential building block in the veterinary antibiotic Tilmicosin. This macrolide antibiotic is useful in treatment and prevention of pneumonia and respiratory diseases in swine, cattle, and sheep. Outbreaks of pneumonia in sheep are common, as the infection can be caused by a variety of factors to include dusty conditions, hot weather, and excessive crowding.
