Feed continuously as the sole ration when feeding Tylan. Diagnosis should be confirmed by a veterinarian when results are not satisfactory.
- For maintaining weight gains and feed efficiency in the presence of atrophic rhinitis: Feed 100 g of tylosin per ton (2.5 pounds Tylan 40 per ton) of complete feed. Feed continuously as the sole ration.
- For control of swine dysentery: Feed 100 g of tylosin per ton (2.5 pounds Tylan 40 per ton) of complete feed for at least three weeks. Follow with 40 g tylosin per ton (1 pound Tylan 40 per ton) of complete feed until pigs reach market weight.
