BOTANICAL EXTRACT FROM NATURAL GUAIACUM PLANT SPECIES IN A CONCENTRATED EXPECTORANT FOR DRINKING WATER SOLUTIONS
MucuSol®
Concentrated Liquid Expectorant for Poultry and Swine
MucuSol® from Animal Science Products is a liquid expectorant administered through drinking water to help reduce respiratory congestion associated with excess mucus and phlegm in poultry and swine.
Containing guaifenesin, MucuSol is designed to support mucus clearance and respiratory function when animals face respiratory challenges.
How MucuSol Works
The respiratory tract relies on mucus and tiny hair-like structures called cilia to help remove trapped particles and irritants. Normally, cilia move mucus along the respiratory tract as part of its natural clearance system.
During respiratory challenges, mucus can become excessive, thick, and difficult to clear. This can interfere with normal ciliary movement and contribute to airway congestion.
Guaifenesin, the active ingredient described in MucuSol's technical literature, helps make mucus less viscous and elastic while supporting mucociliary transport.
Respiratory Support Mechanisms
- Mucus thinning: Helps reduce mucus viscosity and elasticity to support clearance.
- Ciliary transport: Supports the movement of mucus and trapped material through the respiratory tract.
- Respiratory congestion: Helps loosen accumulated secretions associated with respiratory challenges.
Research: MucuSol and Tracheal Cilia Protection
E. coli Airsacculitis Challenge in Broiler Chickens
A Southern Poultry Research Group study evaluated MucuSol in 1,250 male Ross broilers under a combined live respiratory vaccine and pathogenic E. coli challenge.
The study compared a challenged control group with two MucuSol drinking-water programs: a prevention program beginning before respiratory vaccination and an intervention program beginning after vaccination.
Subsequent tracheal histology examined the condition of the respiratory lining and cilia.

Lower Tracheal Deciliation Scores
Day 36 | Broiler E. coli airsacculitis challenge
Source: MucuSol Preserves Tracheal Cilia under E. coli Airsacculitis Challenge in Broilers , Figure 1.
Both MucuSol programs showed lower deciliation scores than the challenged control group. Tissue images also showed more continuous cilia coverage in MucuSol-treated birds.
The report further describes reduced pericarditis lesion scores and airsacculitis-related mortality in the prevention group. These findings were obtained under the conditions of the reported broiler challenge study and should not be interpreted as guaranteed results across all production environments.
MucuSol and Avian Metapneumovirus (AMPV) Challenges
Avian Metapneumovirus and associated secondary bacterial challenges can affect the respiratory tract's normal mucus-clearance mechanisms.
The ASP technical report Unblock Productivity Pressures During AMPV Challenges explains how respiratory challenges can impair ciliary movement and contribute to mucus accumulation.
It also reviews research involving guaifenesin and MucuSol, including findings related to ciliary transport, mucus properties, and respiratory congestion.
MucuSol is presented as a non-antibiotic expectorant support tool within poultry respiratory management programs, not as a replacement for vaccination, biosecurity, or veterinary oversight.

Concentrated expectorant for drinking water solutions.
MucuSol is a liquid product developed for use in the drinking water of your poultry and swine populations as an aid in reducing respiratory congestion from mucus (phlegm). In houses with lots of dust and gas and poor quality air, animals can develop a dry cough, which is not productive – meaning it irritates the respiratory tract further instead of dislodging phlegm and expelling the irritant. MucuSol is a stable water-miscible syrup that delivers more phlegm-loosening power to eliminate the congestion during respiratory problems.
The Benefits of MucuSol
Poultry and Swine
MucuSol contains the richest concentration of water-soluble guaifenesin, the most recognized expectorant for animal use. The potent expectorant increases mucus volume and thins phlegm in the airway. By pulling water into the respiratory tract, MucuSol lubricates and stimulates the flow of secretions, allowing cilia to carry irritants up and generating a hearty cough to send them out. Other benefits include:
- Thins mucus, lubricates and drains respiratory tract
- Makes cough more productive
- Improves respiratory efficiency
- Reduces breathing discomfort
- Helps expel trapped irritants and infectious agents in mucus.
- Most soluble form of the premier mucolytic agent Guaifenesin
The Features of MucuSol
No competitive product on the market today conveniently achieves the same level of active ingredient in the finished drinking water solution as MucuSol.
