The uptake of medicated feed depends on the clinical condition of the animals. In order to obtain a correct dosage the concentration of tilmicosin has to be adjusted accordingly.
Use the following formula:
Kg product/tonne feed =
Dose rate (mg/kg bodyweight)x bodyweight (kg)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Daily feed intake (kg) x premix strength (g/kg)
Pigs: Administer in the feed at a dose of 8 to 16 mg/kg body weight/day of tilmicosin (equivalent to 200 to 400 ppm in the feed) for a period of 15 to 21 days.

To ensure thorough dispersion of the product, it should first be mixed with a suitable quantity of feed before incorporation into the finished feed.
