Perhaps FARAD should modify this page to say which drugs are flat out banned for use in food animals. I know that metronidazole cannot be used, ever, but the fluoroquinolone, enrofloxacin, can be used in beef and swine.

The Denagard dose listed on the Twin City Poultry website is *wrong*. Will post more info later. This is not the first mistake on their site I have seen.

Hmm. I dosed mine with 15ml per gallon, is that OK?
The mfg suggests 2 ml per liter, so it's a little under 8 ml per US gallon. Not sure where Twin City got their info. Did your chickens drink it? 15 ml probably won't hurt them.
I wish that Twin City would show the source for their dosing info.
Having said that, I will find the data sheets that say to give the 2 ml per liter.

Yes they did. Goodness, I hope they are OK. :/
