Tylan Antibiotics for Chickens

In chickens, Tylan powder treats chronic respiratory disease resulting from infection with tylosin-sensitive Mycoplasma gallisepticum. The antibiotic powder helps maintain feed efficiency and weight gains in turkeys with infectious sinusitis caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum, and it aids in the control and treatment of swine dysentery caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae when followed immediately by TYLAN Type A. It also helps control porcine proliferative enteropathies resulting from infection with Lawsonia intracellularis when followed immediately by TYLAN Type A. Tylan Soluble Powder also controls Paenibacillus larvae in honeybees.
