The tetracyclines have applications for the treatment of infections in poultry, cattle, sheep, and swine. In some cases, e.g., for therapeutic treatment of large numbers of poultry reared on commercial farms, the antibiotics are added directly to feed or water or can be administered in aerosols. Tetracyclines could be used as growth promotion or growth enhancement. Tetracyclines are used in aquaculture to control infections in salmon, catfish, and lobsters.
