Was enrofloxacin the only fluoroquinolone approved for use in poultry?
No, sarafloxacin hydrochloride was also approved for use in poultry. Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, IL, is the sponsor of two NADAs for sarafloxacin hydrochloride. NADA 141-017, Sara Flox WSP, was approved August 18, 1995, for the control of mortality in growing turkeys and broiler chickens associated with E. coli organisms. NADA 141-018, Sara Flox Injection, was approved October 12, 1995, for the control of early chick mortality associated with E. coli organisms in chickens and turkeys. Abbott Laboratories voluntarily requested withdrawal of these NADAs, and therefore, these NADAs are not covered by the NOH.
