Dosage for Duramycin/Tetracycline??

[casportpony]

For Duramycin 10 the mfg recommends 1/2 tablespoon per gallon for the 400mg dose or 1 tablespoon for the 800mg dose.

Okay. Fine. Whatever dose you gave to your hen worked for whatever she had.

The 3 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon conversion is a standard unit of measure, not a "kitchen spoon". The correct amount is close to three teaspoons, which equals a proper tablespoon. Yes, it should be just shy of a full tablespoon, but like I mentioned in one of my own posts, these medications are manufactured with withstand a little error here and there. So a proper tablespoon per full gallon is the correct dosage.

Thank you for that. I am horrible at math and just reading the other posts made my head spin. The link comes up with the exact info I needed. No math involved...

Gotta love it when the MFG does that, 'cause like you, I hate doing the math!

I want to make just a pint for a single hen. I come up with needing .047 tsp per pint. Anyone have a good way to measure that small an amount. I have a scale that will measure kg but I am not sure I can convert tsp to kg.

Per pint dose is a slightly rounded 1/3 teaspoon. See post 51 for more info.
