I’m not in a situation that I need to treat at this time but I am looking for suggestions to natural treatments or supplements for respiratory infections. I want to have it on hand. Something where I don’t have to pull eggs as I am finally getting eggs enough to sell. Thank you for your suggestions!
So it clearly states the meat withdrawal is 24 hours, but the egg withdrawal is prohibited to use in layers.
It is made from fermenting bacteria found in the soil, so there is no natural analogous treatment. But there are natural foods with antibiotic properties. You could start there.
For example grape products (fermented), moringa, yogurt, cinnamin, turmeric, and honey. I found those from a search. I would add a couple more to the try-out list like ginger, tocash, boldo, and eucoluptol. A couple more ideas are honeydew extract, and a hydrogen peroxide drench. These are just ideas.
It's too bad for you that tyloson is not for use in humans, or else they would allow an egg withdrawal period.
Just as an overview, but it clearly states tylin cant be used in laying hens:
"Tylosin phosphate is a macrolide antibiotic found naturally as a fermentation product of Streptomyces fradiae. Tylosin tartrate exerts potent antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Tylosin phosphate is widely used as a feed additive for promoting animal growth. Tylosin phosphate is used for veterinary purposes against bacterial dysentery and respiratory diseases in poultry, pigs and cattle.
Directions For Use
Chickens should be treated for three days; however, treatment may be administered for one to five days depending upon severity of infection. Treated chickens must consume enough medicated water to provide 50 mg per pound of body weight per day. Only medicated water should be available to the birds.
RESIDUE WARNINGS: Chickens must not be slaughtered for food within 24 hours after treatment. Turkeys must not be slaughtered for food within five days after treatment. Swine must not be slaughtered for food within 48 hours after treatment. Do not use in layers producing eggs for human consumption. Honey Bees: The drug should be fed early in the spring or fall and consumed by the bees before the main honey flow begins, to avoid contamination of production honey. Complete treatments at least 4 weeks prior to main honey flow."
