how many teaspoons of teramyacin is equal to 200mg????

[cjeanean]

all I have is a teaspoon to measure with, and the back of the bag says 200mg per gallon of water. How many teaspoons is that???? I seem to remember 1/2 tsp being equal, but I don't remember. Thanks!!!

Okay. How does this 200 mg come? How are you measuring it out?

All I have ever read indicates that one tsp is the amount you will need but do not quote me on that as I do not have a reliable resource link for you on that...pm silkie chicken....she might know for sure but tell her the exact name of the product you are using.

200 milligrams = .007054792 ounce = .04232875 teaspoon

I'd think of it as being 1/25th of a teaspoon.
