Tilmicosin phosphate
Indication
1. As an aid in reducing the severity of swine respiratory disease (SRD) associated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida when fed to pigs approximately 7 days prior to anticipated disease outbreak.1
2. As an aid in reducing the severity of porcine polyserositis and arthritis associated with Haemophilus parasuis (Glasser’s Disease) when fed to pigs approximately 7 days prior to anticipated outbreak.1
3. For the reduction of bovine respiratory disease (BRD) morbidity associated with Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida and/or Histophilus somni in groups of feedlot beef cattle experiencing an outbreak of BRD.2
4. For the reduction in severity of respiratory disease caused by Pasteurella multocida in rabbits.
Instruction
Must be thoroughly mixed in feeds before use.
Indication 1: Thoroughly mix 1.0 kg Pulmotil Premix into 999 kg non-medicated swine feed (to provide 200 g tilmicosin activity per tonne in complete feed).
Indication 2: Thoroughly mix 2.0 kg Pulmotil Premix into 998 kg non-medicated swine feed (to provide 400 g tilmicosin activity per tonne in complete feed).
Indication 3: Pulmotil Premix should be blended into an intermediate mix (premix or supplement) and then mixed into the complete diet [total mixed ration (TMR)] to supply 12.5 mg tilmicosin per kg of body weight (BW). The following is the calculation to determine the concentration of tilmicosin in the complete feed and the intermediate mix.
1) Calculate the amount (mg) of tilmicosin activity required per head per day.
• body weight (kg) X 12.5 mg/kg BW
2) Calculate the dry matter intake (DMI) in kg per head per day.
• body weight (kg) X estimated DMI as a percent of BW
3) Calculate the concentration (mg/kg) in the complete diet (TMR).
• amount (mg) of tilmicosin required per head per day divided by the DMI (kg)
4) Calculate the concentration of tilmicosin in the intermediate mix (mg/kg = g/tonne).
• concentration in the complete diet (mg/kg) divided by the intended inclusion rate (%) of the intermediate mix in the complete diet
5) Calculate the amount of Pulmotil Premix (kg) to be added per tonne (1000 kg) of the intermediate mix.
• concentration of tilmicosin (g/tonne) in the intermediate mix divided by the Pulmotil Premix concentration (200 g tilmicosin per kg)
