Oxy Tetra-A Indications

OXY TETRA-A is a soluble antibiotic powder for swine, cattle, and poultry.

OXY TETRA-A is indicated for the following reasons:

1. To give newborn animals and birds a healthy start.

2. To prevent outbreaks due to stress.

3. To prevent or treat specific diseases (see Dosage and Administration).

4. To improve weight gain.

Oxy Tetra-A Dosage And Administration

OXY TETRA-A may be used in three (3) ways. It may be given as a drench, for individual treatment. It may be given in the water, for the treatment of entire herds. It may also be given in the feed.

Note: Fresh solutions should be prepared daily. It is also important to ensure adequate fluid intake, as amounts are based on average daily intakes. This also applies to feeds, where adequate intake is needed to ensure proper dosing.

Swine:

Scours: For treatment, use two (2) teaspoons per 45 kg of body weight in 2 1/4 kg of feed or 4.5 L of water. Treat for 4-5 days. In the case of newborn pigs, mix 2-3 teaspoons per 30 mL of water and give one (1) teaspoon of this mixture twice a day for three (3) days. Prevention levels should be one-half (1/2) of those used for treatment.

Respiratory Diseases: For treatment, use four (4) teaspoons per 45 kg of body weight or 4.5 L of water and give for 4-5 days.

Atrophic Rhinitis: As an aid in maintaining weight gain in the presence of this disease, mix 2-4 teaspoons per 4.5 L of water and give continuously (OXY TETRA-A will not act on the organism causing this disease).

Leptospirosis: Mix six (6) teaspoons per 4.5 L of water and give continuously, as an aid in reducing urinary shedding of leptospiral organisms, reducing the incidence of abortion, increasing survival, and weaning of healthier pigs.

Cattle and Calves:

Scours: For treatment, use two (2) teaspoons per 45 kg in 60-90 mL of water or milk as a drench. For herds, use one (1) teaspoon per 4.5 L of water. Treat for 4-5 days. For prevention, use one-half (1/2) of the above dosage.

Respiratory Diseases: For treatment or prevention, use 2-4 teaspoons per 45 kg of body weight in drinking water or in 60-90 mL of water or milk as a drench. For herds, use 1-2 teaspoons per 4.5 L of drinking water.

Chickens and Turkeys:

Chronic Respiratory Disease: Use two (2) teaspoons per 4.5 L of drinking water or 2 1/4 kg of feed and administer from onset until a few days after the symptoms disappear.

Blue Comb: For treatment, give two (2) teaspoons per 4.5 L of drinking water or 2 1/4 kg feed for five (5) days or until a few days after symptoms disappear. For prevention, use one-half (1/2) of the treatment level.

Synovitis: Give two (2) teaspoons per 4.5 L of drinking water or 2 1/4 kg of feed.

Stress Conditions: When moving birds, vaccinating, or when birds are exposed to extreme temperature changes, give one (1) teaspoon per 4.5 L of drinking water. This is recommended as an aid in preventing diseases caused by susceptible organisms.

Water and Feed Consumption Table: The table is designed to give approximate consumption levels in order to determine the amount of OXY TETRA-A powder required. Care must be taken to ensure adequate intake. The amounts below are for approximate daily intake for feed and water.

For Automatic Medicators: Prepare a stock solution by mixing 400 g of OXY TETRA-A with 2 L of water. Each ounce of this stock will deliver one-quarter (1/4) teaspoon of OXY TETRA-A.
