  • CAUTION:

    CAUTION: Federal law restricts medicated feed containing this veterinary feed directive (VFD) drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

    CAUTION: For use in manufacturing medicated fish and lobster feeds only. For use in dry feeds only. Not for use in liquid feed supplements.

    CAUTION: Certain components of animal feeds, including medicated premixes, possess properties that may be a potential health hazard or a source of personal discomfort to certain individuals who are exposed to them. Human exposure should, therefore, be minimized by observing the general industry standards for occupational health and safety.

    Precautions such as the following should be considered: dust masks or respirators and protective clothing should be worn; dust-arresting equipment and adequate ventilation should be utilized; personal hygiene should be observed; wash before eating or leaving a work site; be alert for signs of allergic reactions—seek prompt medical treatment if such reactions are suspected.

  • MIXING DIRECTIONS—Finfish

    Note that feeding rates may vary depending on the size and health of the fish. Feeding rates should be chosen to ensure that all fish in the rearing unit are adequately medicated.

    Use the table below to calculate the amount of Terramycin 200 for Fish to use at your feeding rate.

    * To calculate g Terramycin per ton finished feed at other feeding rates: (desired dose rate/feeding rate) x 2000

    To calculate Terramycin 200 for Fish per ton at other feeding rates: g Terramycin per ton finished feed/200

    Example: at a feeding rate of 2.5% (2.5 pounds per 100 pounds), with a desired dose of 3.75 g/100 pounds: 3.75 g per 100 lb/2.5 lb per 100 lb = 1.5 g per lb x 2000 lb = 3000 g Terramycin/ton

    3000 g Terramycin per ton/200 g Terramycin per lb of Terramycin 200 for Fish = 15 pounds Terramycin per ton of feed

    ** To calculate total required medicated feed for the 10 day treatment period, multiply total estimated rearing unit biomass by 10 and divide by the pounds of medicated feed needed at your feeding rate

    Example: at a feeding rate of 2% in a unit containing 5,000 pounds of fish biomass:

    5,000 lb x 10 = 50,000 lb/100,000 lb per ton = 0.5 tons

    MIXING DIRECTIONS—Lobsters

    Mix 10 pounds of Terramycin 200 for Fish per ton of feed to achieve the dose rate of 1 g/lb.
