Tylan egg dip for hatching eggs

[chickenlee]

Hi there,

Does anybody have experience using a Tylan based dip as a pre-treatment for hatching eggs to reduce transmission of mycoplasma to the chicks? I am looking for details on how to prepare the Tylan solution (ie. how much tylan soluble powder per litre of water), and feedback on how your hatch turned out.

Never heard of it but maybe someone else has.

I have not heard of using Tylan, but I have heard of using Oxine, and we use that here.


ETA: Tylan is not a surface disinfectant, so it wouldn't do any good to waste it on dipping eggs. Oxine is a surface disinfectant, that is not harmful to the egg or animals.http://www.shagbarkbantams.com/oxine.htm
