Spectrum of activity:
Oxytetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, with bacteriostatic action againsta largenumber of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. The requirement of all vitamins varies not only with the different periods of growth and physiological functions (pregnancy, lactation), but also widely with the nutrition. Vitamin A plays an important role in the protection of the epithelial tissues (including retina, skin) and the mucous membranes, and therefore as a protection against general infections. Vitamin D3 takes care for a regular process of the calcium-phosphorous metabolism. Vitamin E plays an important role in protecting the stability of vitamin A and general as an antioxidant. The B-vitamins participate in the formation of enzymes and are indispensable for the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates and for the normal growth of muscular and nervous tissues. Vitamin C is not an essential nutritional factor in domestic animals, for it is synthesized by all species (except guinea-pigs, man, monkeys). Vitamin C is essential as a coenzyme in certain oxidative processes, it is necessary for normal folic acid function and it is also essential for normal wound healing, and maintaining normal capillary function. Vitamin K is essential for the biosynthesis of blood clotting factors. Nicotinic acid and folic acid are (reduced to) coenzymes involved in respectively electron transfer reactions in the respiratory chain and DNA-synthesis. Pantothenic acid is also an essential trace element.
