BMD Soluble Dosage Help

[paratoke]

Can someone help me mix BMD Soluble in a regular gallon waterer? The instructions are for mixing with a "proportioner" so I'm having trouble converting. I found old threads with links to mixing guidelines, but all the links are dead. I want to give the prevention dose of 100 mg/gal. Anyone have info on this? Thanks!

Here is the product sheet if that helps.

For 100 mg/gal you would use 0.28 grams of that product per gallon of water. If you have some way to accurately weigh the product such as a scale that weighs grams, I can convert that into a volume measurement, but without that you have to go by weight.

Thanks @pibb! I don't have a scale unfortunately. I emailed Meyer Hatchery and they said 1/8th tsp per gallon, which seams awfully low to me. I guess they know what they are talking about though.

That would mean it has a density of 0.46, so yes that sounds close. I'd go with that.

Funny that there is no withdrawal info.

Funny that there is no withdrawal info.

I thought that was interesting too. This is what the website says "Not absorbed from the intestinal tract, thus no withdrawal period needed."

This says Bacitracin is known for causing kidney damage when given internally but also states there is no withdrawal period.
