200 g/lb |
CAUTION: Federal law restricts medicated feed containing this veterinary feed directive (VFD) drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.
Terramycin 200 for Fish Caution
For use in manufacturing medicated fish and lobster feeds only. For use in dry feeds only. Not for use in liquid feed supplements.
Terramycin 200 for Fish Caution
Certain components of animal feeds, including medicated articles, possess properties that may be a potential health hazard or a source of personal discomfort to certain individuals who are exposed to them. Human exposure should, therefore, be minimized by observing the general industry standards for occupational health and safety.
Precautions such as the following should be considered: dust masks or respirators and protective clothing should be worn; dust-arresting equipment and adequate ventilation should be utilized; personal hygiene should be observed; wash before eating or leaving a work site; be alert for signs of allergic reactions-seek prompt medical treatment if such reactions are suspected.
For incorporation into feed pellets: At manufacture of a Type C medicated feed containing oxytetracycline: a) Terramycin® 200 for Fish (oxytetracycline dihydrate) is added to other feed ingredients in the mixer prior to extrusion, b) the ingredients are mixed thoroughly to ensure homogeneity, c) the mixture is steam pelleted or extruded and pellets are dried, d) medicated feed pellets are mixed/coated with a predetermined amount of fish or vegetable oil, and e) at the completion of mixing, the product is transferred to a storage tank for packaging or transport.
For surface-coating (top-coating) onto feed pellets: At manufacture of a Type C medicated feed containing oxytetracycline: a) add a known quantity of fish feed into a mixer, b) weigh out Terramycin® 200 for Fish (oxytetracycline dihydrate), c) mix Terramycin® 200 for Fish (oxytetracycline dihydrate) with feed pellets, d) medicated feed pellets are mixed/coated with a predetermined amount of fish or vegetable oil, and e) at the completion of mixing, the product is transferred to a storage tank for packaging or transport.

FEEDING DIRECTIONS |
|
LOBSTER |
For control of gaffkemia caused by Aerococcus viridans. |
Administer 1 g/lb of medicated feed as sole ration for 5 consecutive days (see lobster mixing directions below). |
|
Warning: Withdraw medicated feed 30 days before harvesting lobsters. |
|
Use with caution in recirculating aquaculture systems due to the potential for impacts on the biofilter. Monitor water quality parameters (e.g., ammonia, nitrate) during and after treatment. Consider bypassing biofilter if possible.
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.

* To calculate g oxytetracycline 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 oxytetracycline 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 oxytetracycline/ton
3000 g oxytetracycline per ton/200 g oxytetracycline per lb of Terramycin 200 for Fish = 15 pounds Terramycin 200 for Fish 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.
