The active ingredient of 3-Nitro, roxarsone, is an organic arsenical and has been safely used for more than 5 decades to effectively improve the health and productivity of swine.

Roxarsone is an organic compound containing 1 atom of arsenic, a characteristic that often triggers confusion since arsenic is commonly associated with poisons. However, the arsenic in poisons is inorganic, whereas the arsenic in roxarsone is organically bound. Organic compounds always contain carbon, while inorganic compounds do not. This seemingly subtle difference is why roxarsone is safe for producers, production animals, consumers, and the environment.

3-Nitro continues to be a valuable tool for enhancing the health and production efficiency of
swine, without the risk of cross-resistance with human medications.

3-Nitro is the reliable non-antibiotic feed additive that helps increase the rate of weight gain and improve feed efficiency of pigs by promoting a healthy gut, enhancing absorption of nutrients from the feed.

Because 3-Nitro is not an antibiotic and is not used in human medicine, it delivers consistent performance without concern for the development of cross-resistance with other antimicrobials. In addition, 3-Nitro is approved for use in combination with BMD® and ChlorMax®.
