Denagard Dosage

[ChicKat]

Many websites, including the one mentioned, sell products for poultry that aren't approved for use in poultry, some are even banned (Baytril, Cipro, metronidazole). It's up to us to do our homework and decide if it's worth using such drugs. We should also verify dosing info from places like Twin City as often the directions listed are *not* correct.

-Kathy

Right on target...but the twin cities directions are correct - right? We say 1TBSP/gallon or 1/2TBSP for gallon - and that's the same as 3teasp/gallon or 1 1/2teasp per gallon.

The Twin cities price is really good/fair IMO - and the size would be convenient too for most people and the cash outlay is less......

Quote: Is that correct? Have you seen any info published from the mfg on treating poultry with it? I looked awhile ago and can't remember what I found. Gonna look again!

Product Type
Oral antibiotic intended for preventive and therapeutic in feed medication in pigs and poultry.
Description and Composition
DENAGARD Premixes are manufactured with a gel-coated tiamulin hydrogen fumarate concentrate. Gel-coating of the active substance improves stability, reduces dustiness and ensures consistent mixing and dispersal in finished feed. DENAGARD Premix for medicated feed contains 20 mg (2% Premix) or 100 mg (10% Premix) tiamulin hydrogen fumarate per gram of product.

If I have read the above correctly, I think the treatment when using the 12.5% solution is 2ml per liter and preventative is 1ml per liter, which is a little less than 8ml per gallon and 4ml per gallon.

Here is the link to the sales info in UK -
http://www.thepoultrysite.com/focus/contents/novartis/novartis_poultry1.pdf

it says:
The dosage for chickens and turkeys is 25 mg tiamulin/kg bodyweight or 100mls of Denagard 12.5% Oral Solution for 500 kgs of bird. Denagard should be administered continuously in the drinking water at a level of 0.025% (250ppm) for 3-5 days to chickens and 5 days to turkey

ETA - I did speak with a very qualified vet about using the product. One reason it isn't 'approved' in the USA is that to FDA trials/tests cost hundreds-of-thousands-of-dollars. Also want to add - I appreciate the info that you provide -- I see your postings a lot on BYC.
