What Tylan Soluble Powder 100g is

Tylan Soluble Powder 100g is a prescription-only antibiotic medicine containing tylosin. It is designed for use in drinking water as part of a targeted treatment plan for pigs and poultry, and may be used in other licensed food-producing species according to the product’s datasheet and your vet’s advice.

Because Tylan Soluble Powder 100g is an antibiotic, it must only be used when your vet has diagnosed, or strongly suspects, an infection that is likely to respond to tylosin.

How Tylan Soluble Powder 100g works

Tylan Soluble Powder 100g contains tylosin, a macrolide antibiotic. Macrolides work by:

• Interfering with bacterial protein synthesis

• Helping to stop the growth of susceptible bacteria

• Allowing the animal’s immune system to clear infection more effectively

Your vet will decide if Tylan Soluble Powder 100g is appropriate based on:

• The clinical signs seen in the group or flock

• Farm history and previous culture and sensitivity results

• Responsible use guidelines for antibiotics in food-producing animals

Which animals Tylan Soluble Powder 100g is for

Tylan Soluble Powder 100g is licensed for use in specified food-producing species, typically including:

• Pigs – via drinking water

• Chickens and other poultry – via drinking water systems

• Other labelled species, as set out in the official product information

Your vet will confirm exactly which species on your farm may receive Tylan Soluble Powder 100g and for which conditions. It must not be used off-licence without clear veterinary direction under the prescribing cascade.

How Tylan Soluble Powder 100g is used on farm

Always follow the written instructions from your vet and the label on the tub. In general, your vet will:

• Calculate the total mg tylosin per kg bodyweight required

• Estimate the average weight of animals in the group

• Assess typical daily water intake (or milk intake where applicable)

• Provide clear directions on how much Tylan Soluble Powder 100g to dissolve per litre of water

Key practical points include:

• Measure the required amount of Tylan Soluble Powder 100g accurately using scales or the approved scoop

• Mix thoroughly in a suitable volume of water before adding to the main system, as advised

• Offer only medicated water to the treated group during the dosing period, unless your vet advises otherwise

• Prepare fresh medicated water at the interval specified by your vet and the product datasheet

If you are ever unsure about calculations or preparation, stop and contact your vet before continuing treatment.

Responsible use and monitoring

During a course of Tylan Soluble Powder 100g you should:

• Observe animals closely for changes in appetite, demeanour and faeces

• Watch water intake, as reduced drinking may change the dose received

• Re-check weight estimates for growing animals in longer courses

• Contact your vet promptly if:

  • Signs do not improve within the expected timeframe

  • Problems worsen, spread or recur quickly

  • You have concerns about any animal’s condition

Tylan Soluble Powder 100g should always be used alongside good biosecurity, hygiene and vaccination plans, not as a stand-alone solution.

Withdrawal periods and records

Because Tylan Soluble Powder 100g is used in food-producing animals, strict withdrawal periods apply. Your vet will write the correct meat and egg withdrawal times on the prescription and, where relevant, your farm treatment records.

You must:

• Record every use of Tylan Soluble Powder 100g (date, animal group, dose, duration and batch number)

• Clearly mark pens or flocks under treatment

• Ensure no animal goes to slaughter, and no eggs enter the food chain (if applicable), before the full withdrawal time has passed

If you are uncertain about dates, confirm them with your vet before moving animals or sending produce off farm.
