For the prevention and control of enzootic pneumonia, and scours caused by organisms (e.g. Lawsonia intracellularis) sensitive to tylosin, in pigs.

For the control of pneumonia in cattle associated with mycoplasmata and Pasteurella multocida sensitive to tylosin.

For information regarding swine dysentery see section 4.5.

Dose to be administered and administration route

For oral administration.

Recommendations for use in chickens and turkeys:

Tylan Soluble is administered in the drinking water at a concentration of 0.5 g per litre.

As an aid in the control of outbreaks of necrotic enteritis caused by Clostridium perfringens in chickens use Tylan in the drinking water for 5 days at a concentration of 0.15 g per litre water (150ppm), to provide 20-50 mg/kg bw, depending on the age and the water consumption of the birds.

Recommendations for use in pigs:

Tylan Soluble is administered in the drinking water to provide 25 mg tylosin/kg bodyweight. This may normally be achieved by adding 0.25g per litre.

Recommendations for use in calves:

One gram of tylosin activity per calf administered orally twice daily for seven to fourteen days. The tylosin tartrate may be incorporated into the milk or reconstituted milk replacer at the time of feeding.

To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid under-dosing.Recommended programmes

The intake of medicated water depends on the clinical condition of the animals. In order to obtain the correct dosage, the concentration of Tylan Soluble has to be adjusted accordingly.
