Tylan 50, Tylan 200 and Tylan Powder Dosing.

What I am sure of is that most chicken people aren't giving enough! Most give less than 50mg!

I treat sinus infections with injectable Tylan at a dose of 1 cc for adult birds and 1/2 cc for younger birds. Anything under 2 months I use neochlor on. These doses work well, often one dose does the job. I've only had it once where I treated twice because I thought it was a little more serious. I've also just treated a Swinhoe hen this past week @ the 1/2 cc dose and results were amazing. Swelling occurred over night, and after treatment swelling was gone completely in less than 24 hours.

Tylan 50 or Tylan 200?

With Tylan 200:
1cc for a full sized large adult male is 33mg/kg
1cc for a full sized small female is 66mg/kg

1/2cc is 100mg, but I don't remember what one under two months weighs, although I think I had one around six weeks old that weighed about 800 grams, so for something that size, that dose is about 110mg/kg.

Note that I'm not saying that the dose is correct or incorrect, just trying to show what dose has been given.

Maybe that is why Tylan didn't work well for me, I wasn't giving enough of it.

Maybe... Could also be that the infection was from something like E. coli. Tylan is used mainly to treat gram positive infections or something like mycoplasma. If I remember correctly, your culture/sensitivity report showed gram negative bacteria that were resistant to tylosin (Tylan). In that case, would not matter how much you gave, it never would have worked.

200. When you weigh a male, are you weighing it with or without train, makes a big difference.

Without.

Train weight, that's a good point, so I will re-weigh my boys and see how much they have gained since I weighed them last.

@Arbor , here are the weights of some of mine from 1-1-15. I will re-weigh the ones in bold. FWIW, a quick search showed that the weight of a train is equal to 300 grams.
