Abstract
Abstract Manganese complexes of various monovalent and divalent polyether antibiotics are provided which act as coccidiostats and growth promoting agents when administered to food-producing animals such as cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. Soluble manganese salt is added to a fermentation beer containing the polyether antibiotics to form an insoluble, recoverable biomass containing the desired manganese antibiotic complex. This biomass, in a dried form, can be given orally to animals such as cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. The subject manganese complexes include: linear monovalent and divalent polyethers (monensin, nigericin, lasalocid, lysocellin, etc.); non-glycolic monovalent monoglycoside polyethers (septamycin, dianemycin, lenoremycin, carriomycin and antibiotic A-204); mononitrogen-containing divalent pyrrole ethers (calcimycin, X-14547, etc.); polynitrogen-containing divalent pyrrole ethers (A-23187, etc.); glycolic monovalent monoglycoside polyethers (etheromycin, etc.); other polyether antibiotics including ionomycin, aabomycin, disnerycin, duamycin, BL-580, K-41, SF-1195, M-4164A, A-32887, 30,504RP, 38,986, 44,161, 47,433, 47,434 and 47,224. The above manganese complexes are also active agents for improving cardiovascular function in animals. Purified manganese-containing antibiotic complexes can be extracted from the biomass using suitable organic solvents, followed by crystallization or precipitation of the purified complexes. The purified products can be administered as boluses, subcutaneous implants, or as injectable preparations.
