| Chickens/Turkeys | 2,000 | 10 | 3.9 |
| Swine | 250 | 1 | 3.1 |
*This table applies only if the water medicating pump is set to deliver 1 ounce of stock solution per gallon of drinking water.
Honey Bees: Mix 200 mg tylosin in 20 g confectioners/powdered sugar. Use immediately.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Chickens should be treated for three days; however, treatment may be administered for one to five days depending upon severity of infection. Treated chickens must consume enough medicated water to provide 50 mg per pound of body weight per day. Only medicated water should be available to the birds.
Turkeys should be treated for three days; however, treatment may be administered for two to five days depending upon severity of infection. Treated turkeys must consume enough medicated water to provide 60 mg per pound of body weight per day. Only medicated water should be available to the birds.
Swine: For the treatment and control of swine dysentery medicate with 250 mg tylosin per gallon in drinking water for 3 to 10 days, depending upon severity of infection. Alternatively, medicate with 250 mg tylosin per gallon in drinking water for 3 to 10 days, followed by 40 to 100 g tylosin per ton of complete feed (Type C medicated feed manufactured from tylosin phosphate Type A medicated article) for 2 to 6 weeks. For control of porcine proliferative enteropathies (PPE, ileitis) medicate with 250 mg tylosin per gallon in drinking water for 3 to 1 0 days, followed by 40 to 1 00 g of tylosin per ton of complete feed (Type C medicated feed manufactured from tylosin phosphate Type A medicated article) for 2 to 6 weeks. Swine must consume enough medicated water to provide a therapeutic dose. Only medicated water (250 mg tylosin per gallon) should be available while medicating with Tylosin Tartrate Soluble Powder.
Honey Bee colonies should receive three treatments administered as a dust in confectioners/powdered sugar. The 200 mg dose is applied (dusted) over the top bars of the brood chamber once weekly for 3 weeks.
RESIDUE WARNINGS: Chickens must not be slaughtered for food within 24 hours after treatment. Turkeys must not be slaughtered for food within five days after treatment. Swine must not be slaughtered for food within 48 hours after treatment. Do not use in layers producing eggs for human consumption. Honey Bees: The drug should be fed early in the spring or fall and consumed by the bees before the main honey flow begins, to avoid contamination of production honey. Complete treatments at least 4 weeks prior to main honey flow.
