Abstract
The present invention concerns a formulation for an oral veterinary composition containing a fluoroquinolone antimicrobial agent or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a method of treating a microbial infection in a ruminant. The present veterinary composition, when administered orally to a ruminating animal (e.g., a cow or a feedlot calf), allows the fluoroquinolone to be readily and extensively absorbed from the rumen into the circulating blood and provides an unexpectedly extended duration of therapeutic antimicrobial blood level.
