Zusammenfassung: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. La presente invencion se refiere a una formulacion para una composicion veterinaria oral que contiene un agente antimicrobiano de fluoroquinolona o una sal farmaceuticamente aceptable del mismo y un metodo para tratar una infeccion microbiana en un rumiante. La presente composicion veterinaria, cuando se administra oralmente a un animal rumiante que realiza la rumiacion (v.gr., tina vaca o becerro de engorda) permite que la fluoroquinolona se absorba facil y extensamente desde el rumen en la sangre circulante y provee una duracion inesperadamente extendida del nivel sanguineo antimicrobiano terapeutico.
