MIXING DIRECTIONS
FOR SWINE, CALVES AND TURKEYS: 2.52 oz. (two scoops) dissolved in 500 mL (approximately 17 fl oz.) of warm water will provide a stock solution of 100 mg of tetracycline hydrocloride activity per mL. FOR TURKEYS ONLY: This stock solution when metered at approximately 1 oz. per gallon will provide drinking water containing 2,957 mg of tetracycline hydrocloride activity per gallon.
The contents of two scoops are sufficient to deliver the recommended daily dosage levels as follows:
At 25 mg/lb of body weight . . . . 2,040 total lbs. of turkeys to be medicated.
At 10 mg/lb of body weight . . . . 5,100 total lbs. of swine or calves to be medicated.
Individual calf treatment . . . . 5 mL (1 measuring teaspoonful) twice daily for each 100 lbs. of body weight administered as a drench or by dose syringe.
FOR CHICKENS AND TURKEYS: To arrive at the recommended dosages, use the enclosed contents of 2 scoops to prepare stock solutions as follows:
200 mg/gallon – dissolve 2 scoops (2.52 oz.) in 7,570 mL warm water (2 gallons)
400 mg/gallon – dissolve 2 scoops (2.52 oz.) in 3,785 mL warm water (1 gallon)
800 mg/gallon – dissolve 2 scoops (2.52 oz.) in 1,892 mL warm water (0.5 gallon)
These stock solutions should then be metered into drinking water at approximately 1 oz. per gallon.
At 200-800 mg/gallon two scoops will provide 63.8 to 255 gallons of medicated drinking water
