History & Evaluation

Significant developments in the field of antimicrobial agents in veterinary medicine have occurred in the past. The early use of natural substances containing a microbe-killing component sparked further research to produce a more targeted and valuable drug.

In the 1940s, the discovery of penicillin significantly advanced veterinary medicine, and further investigations helped to find an increasingly large number of antimicrobial agents.

These drugs are strictly tested to meet safety and performance standards, giving veterinarians an essential tool for fighting animal infectious diseases.
