Virginiamycin is an antibiotic registered for use in cattle, sheep, broiler chickens, turkeys, horses, pigs and horses. It is widely used as a growth promotant in growing pigs, broilers and turkeys or for reducing lactic acidosis in sheep and cattle or for preventing necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens. Another use of virginiamycin is for preventing laminitis, a condition in horses where the hooves become inflamed.
