Nifursol（Cat No.:I002206）is a nitrofuran derivative previously used as an antimicrobial agent in veterinary medicine, particularly for preventing and treating infections in poultry caused by Histomonas meleagridis, which leads to blackhead disease. It works by disrupting bacterial DNA synthesis, effectively inhibiting microbial growth. Although effective, nifursol use has been restricted in many regions due to concerns about potential carcinogenic residues in food products from treated animals. Despite its past utility in livestock management, nifursol’s usage has declined as safer alternatives have been developed to meet food safety standards.
