Tylan 200 in water

[gardenchix]

Does anyone know if you can use injectable tylan 200 in drinking water ? If so do you know dosage per gallon of water ? For upper respiratory infection

You can but I suggest giving it orally so you're sure they're getting the proper dose. When chickens have a respiratory infection they tend to stop eating and drinking. To give it orally the dosage is 0.06ml per pound 3x a day for 5 days.

If they do have a respiratory infection be sure.you close your flock. No new birds in and no birds go out.

I don't put in water. You can't measure how much they're getting that way. When I did it I used tylan 200 and gave them 0.05ml per lb 3 times a day for 5 days orally.

You are better off giving it by direct dose as posted by @Mamatomany123 . Only sick or symptomatic birds should be treated. If you need something for the water, Tylosin powder can be ordered here:

Dosage is 1 tsp per gallon of water for 3-5 days.

Also, watch to make sure they're eating and drinking. I had a few that wouldn't eat or drink so I made a mash and hand fed them a for a few days. Just mix some water with some feed, pinch some up, and get it in their beaks.

Now is that the injectable Tylan 200? You just put in a Syringe at 0.05ml and gave them that orally?

Yes,it is the injectable. You need to figure it hw much your birds weigh. My girls are round 7-8 lbs so I gave them .4mls through a Syringe. Make sure you don't put it in their windpipe. You want to get the Syringe past the windpipe and squirt it to the side to be sure they don't spit it out or inhale it.

Just realized you're not the OP. Are your birds sick?

 

[Robind15]

Yes. I went from having 12 to 26 chickens now. Six of them got it BAD. I ended up calling the vet. She said it was Mycoplasma. I now only have one young EE that’s bad. She has her perky momments but is still too weak. All my birds are on antibiotics and probiotics. They have vitamins now in their feed.
