Dose to be administered and administration route

The uptake of medicated feed depends on the clinical condition of the animals. In order to obtain a correct dosage the concentration of tilmicosin has to be adjusted accordingly.

Use the following formula:

Pigs

Administer in the feed at a dose of 8 to 16 mg/kg body weight/day of tilmicosin (equivalent to 200 to 400 ppm in the feed) for a period of 15 to 21 days.

Indication	Dose of tilmicosin	Duration of treatment	Inclusion rate in feed
Prevention and treatment of respiratory disease	8-16 mg/kg bodyweight/day	15 to 21 days	2-4 kg product/tonne

Rabbits

Administer in the feed at 12 mg/kg body weight/day of tilmicosin (equivalent to 200 ppm in the feed) for 7 days.

Indication	Dose of tilmicosin	Duration of treatment	Inclusion rate in feed
Prevention and treatment of respiratory disease	12 mg/kg bodyweight/day	7 days	2 kg product/tonne

To ensure thorough dispersion of the product, it should first be mixed with a suitable quantity of feed before incorporation into the finished feed.

This product can be incorporated into pelleted feed, preconditioned for the minimum time-period at a temperature not exceeding 75°C

Adverse reactions

In very rare cases (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals), feed intake may decrease (including feed refusal) in animals receiving medicated feed. This effect is transient.
