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.
