21 C.F.R. § 558.625 Tylosin.
Title 21 - Food and Drugs
(a) Specifications. Tylosin is the antibiotic substance produced by growth of Streptomyces fradiae or the same antibiotic substance produced by any other means. Tylosin, present as the phosphate salt, conforms to the appropriate antibiotic standard. Tylosin contains at least 95 percent tylosin as a combination of tylosin A, tylosin B, tylosin C, and tylosin D of which at least 80 percent is tylosin A as determined by a method entitled “Determination of Factor Content in Tylosin by High Performance Liquid Chromatography,” which is incorporated by reference.
