INDICATIONS & USAGE SECTION
Species Dose 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
Brachyspira 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.
mg/head/day 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: 70 For reduction in the number of liver condemnations due to
(continuously) abscesses in feedlot beef cattle.
250 For reduction in the number of liver condemnations due to
(continuously) abscesses in feedlot beef cattle.
Note: Where minimum levels are shown, increase the antibiotic concentration within approved range when
necessary to fit the feeding program, and to insure adequate levels of antibiotic in the complete ration.
