Administer medicated feed to provide a dosage of 2.5 - 3.75 g of oxytetracycline per 100 lb of fish daily for 10 days (see finfish mixing directions below). If mortality is not reduced by the fifth day of treatment, the diagnosis should be reexamined.
Warning: Do not liberate or slaughter salmonids for food during treatment or for 21 days following last feeding of medicated feed.
PACIFIC SALMON For marking of skeletal tissue. Administer medicated feed as the sole ration to salmon not over 30 g body weight to provide a dosage of 11.35 g of oxytetracycline per 100 lb of fish (250 mg per kg of fish) daily for 4 consecutive days.
Warning: Do not liberate for at least 7 days following last feeding of medicated feed .
FRESHWATER-REARED SALMONIDS For the control of mortality in freshwater-reared salmonids due to coldwater disease associated with Flavobacterium psychrophilum . Administer medicated feed to provide a dosage of 3.75 g of oxytetracycline per 100 lb of fish daily for 10 days (see finfish mixing directions below).

MIXING DIRECTIONS-Finfish

Note that feeding rates may vary depending on the size and health of the fish. Feeding rates should be chosen to ensure that all fish in the rearing unit are adequately medicated.
Use the table below to calculate the amount of Terramycin 200 for Fish to use at your feeding rate.
Feeding Rate* To achieve a dose rate of 2.5 - 3.75 g/100 pounds of fish
pounds/100 pounds (%) Terramycin in Finished Feed Terramycin 200 for Fish per ton of feed Total biomass that one ton of medicated feed will treat**
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 15 (g/ton) 5,000 - 7,500 2,500 - 3,750 1,667 - 2,500 1,250 - 1,875 1,000 - 1,500 833 - 1,250 714 - 1071 625 - 938 556 - 833 500 - 750 333 - 500 (pounds) 25.00 - 37.50 12.50 - 18.75 8.33 - 12.50 6.25 - 9.38 5.00 - 7.50 4.17 - 6.25 3.57 - 5.36 3.13 - 4.69 2.78 - 4.17 2.50 - 3.75 1.67 - 2.50 (pounds) 200,000 100,000 66,667 50,000 40,000 33,333 28,571 25,000 22,222 20,000 13,333
* To calculate g Terramycin per ton finished feed at other feeding rates: (desired dose rate/feeding rate) x 2000
To calculate Terramycin 200 for Fish per ton at other feeding rates: g Terramycin per ton finished feed/200
Example: at a feeding rate of 2.5% (2.5 pounds per 100 pounds), with a desired dose of 3.75 g/100 pounds: 3.75 g per 100 lb/2.5 lb per 100 lb = 1.5 g per lb x 2000 lb = 3000 g Terramycin/ton
3000 g Terramycin per ton/200 g Terramycin per lb of Terramycin 200 for Fish = 15 pounds Terramycin per ton of feed
** To calculate total required medicated feed for the 10 day treatment period, multiply total estimated rearing unit biomass by
10 and divide by the pounds of medicated feed needed at your feeding rate
Example: at a feeding rate of 2% in a unit containing 5,000 pounds of fish biomass:
5,000 lb x 10 = 50,000 lb/100,000 lb per ton = 0.5 tons

MIXING DIRECTIONS-Lobsters

Mix 10 pounds of Terramycin 200 for Fish per ton of feed to achieve the dose rate of 1 g/lb.
