Mixing Directions for Medicated Drinking Water:

Always add the water to the powder. Do not pour the powder into the water. Prepare a fresh Tylan Soluble solution every three days. When mixing and handling tylosin, use protective clothing and impervious gloves. If using a water medicating pump see table below, otherwise mix as follows:

To assure thorough dissolution, first place the contents of one jar in a mixing container and add one gallon of water (3785 mL) to the powder to make a concentrated solution. To make medicated drinking water containing 250 mg/gallon (66 ppm), mix this concentrated solution with water to make 400 gallons (1514 liters) of medicated drinking water. To make medicated drinking water containing 851 to 1,419 mg/gallon (225 to 375 ppm), mix this concentrated solution with water to make from 117 gallons + 51 ounces (444 liters) to 70 gallons + 64 ounces (267 liters) of medicated drinking water, respectively. To make medicated drinking water containing 2,000 mg/gallon (528 ppm), mix this concentrated solution with water to make 50 gallons (189 liters) of medicated drinking water.

Chickens: NE indication: Administer medicated drinking water for a single five day period in broiler chickens. To assure all birds receive the intended medication, only medicated water should be available. These practices should be followed to assure both food safety and responsible antimicrobial drug use in chickens: 1) Use in flocks exhibiting signs of a necrotic enteritis outbreak, for example, increased mortality and lesions characteristic of necrotic enteritis upon necropsy; 2) Administer the full dose and dosing regimen once medication is initiated; 3) Use of Tylan Soluble or another macrolide is not advised if additional therapy is needed beyond the original course of medication. CRD indications: Administer medicated drinking water for three days; however, medicated water may be administered for one to five days depending upon severity of infection. Treated chickens must consume enough medicated water to provide 50 mg per pound of body weight per day. Only medicated water should be available to the birds.

Turkeys: Administer medicated drinking water for three days; however, medicated water may be administered for two to five days depending upon severity of infection. Treated turkeys must consume enough medicated water to provide 60 mg per pound of body weight per day. Only medicated water should be available to the birds.

Swine: SD indication: Administer medicated drinking water for 3 to 10 days, depending upon severity of infection. Alternatively, administer medicated drinking water for 3 to 10 days, followed by 40 to 100 g tylosin per ton of complete feed (Type C medicated feed manufactured from Tylan Type A medicated article) for 2 to 6 weeks. Only medicated water should be available to swine while medicating with Tylan Soluble. PPE indication: Administer medicated drinking water for 3 to 10 days, followed by 40 to 100 g of tylosin per ton of complete feed (Type C medicated feed manufactured from Tylan A medicated article) for 2 to 6 weeks. Only medicated water should be available to swine while medicating with Tylan Soluble.

Honey Bee Colonies: Administer three treatments of medicated confectioners sugar once weekly for 3 weeks. The 200 mg dose is applied (dusted) over the top bars of the brood chamber.

User Safety Warnings: Not for Human Use. Keep Out of Reach of Children. Avoid contact with human skin. Exposure to tylosin may cause a rash.

Residue Warnings: Chickens must not be slaughtered for food within 24 hours after treatment. Do not use in layers producing eggs for human consumption.

Turkeys must not be slaughtered for food within five days after treatment.

Swine must not be slaughtered for food within 48 hours after treatment.

Honey bees: The drug should be fed early in the spring or fall and consumed by the bees before the main honey flow begins, to avoid contamination of production honey. Complete treatments at least 4 weeks prior to main honey flow.
