| Species | Grams bacitracin per ton of feed | Indications for use |
|---|---|---|
| Broiler and replacement chickens | 4 - 50 | For increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency. |
| 50 | As an aid in prevention of necrotic enteritis caused or complicated by Clostridium spp. or other organisms susceptible to bacitracin methylene disalicylate. | |
| 100 - 200 | As an aid in control of necrotic enteritis caused or complicated by Clostridium spp. or other organisms susceptible to bacitracin methylene disalicylate. | |
| CAUTION: To control a necrotic enteritis outbreak, start medication at the first clinical signs of disease. The dosage range permitted provides for different levels based on severity of the infection. Consult a poultry diagnostic laboratory or pathologist to determine the diagnosis and advice regarding the optimal level of drug. Administer continuously for 5 - 7 days or as long as clinical signs persist, and then reduce medication to prevention level (50 g/ton). | ||
| Laying hens | 10 - 25 | For increased egg production and improved feed efficiency during the first seven months of production. |
| Growing turkeys | 4 - 50 | For increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency. |
| 200 | As an aid in control of transmissible enteritis in growing turkeys complicated by organisms susceptible to bacitracin methylene disalicylate. | |
| Pheasants | 4 - 50 | For increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency. |
| Quail | 5 - 20 | For increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency in quail not over 5 weeks of age. |
| 200 | For prevention of ulcerative enteritis in growing quail due to Clostridium colinum susceptible to bacitracin methylene disalicylate. Feed continuously as the sole ration. | |
| Growing/finishing swine | 10 - 30 | For increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency. |
| 250 | For control of swine dysentery (bloody scours) associated with Treponema hyodysenteriae in pigs up to 250 lbs body weight. Feed 250 grams per ton of complete feed on premises with a history of swine dysentery, but where signs of the disease have not yet occurred or following an approved treatment of the disease condition. | |
| The 250 g/ton level will provide 5 to 7 mg/lb in swine weighing 40 to 250 lbs. | ||
| CAUTION: Diagnosis should be confirmed by a veterinarian when results are not satisfactory. Feed containing an approved level of bacitracin methylene disalicylate should be the sole ration. | ||
| Pregnant sows | 250 | For control of clostridial enteritis caused by C. perfringens in suckling piglets when fed to sows from 14 days before through 21 days after farrowing on premises with a history of clostridial scours. |
| CAUTION: Diagnosis should be confirmed by a veterinarian when results are not satisfactory. Feed containing an approved level of bacitracin methylene disalicylate should be the sole ration. | ||
| Feedlot beef cattle | mg/head/day | |
| 70 (continuously) | For reduction in the number of liver condemnations due to abscesses in feedlot beef cattle. | |
| 250 (5 days in 30) | For reduction in the number of liver condemnations due to abscesses in feedlot beef cattle. |
