Abstract

A growth promoting composition for animals containing an erythromycin derivative wherein a dimethylamino radical of the 3'-position is converted into a primary amino radical, a secondary amino radical, a tertiary amino radical other than the dimethyl amino radical, or a quaternary ammonio radical. This composition does not exhibit the antimicrobial activity at all or show the extremely decreased antimicrobial activity, and has the excellent effect to improve the feed efficiency of domestic animals.
