Tylan 200 is an older macrolide still common for foot rot and as a lower-cost pneumonia option. It is dosed daily (1 mL per 25 lb, IM) rather than as a one-shot, and carries a 21-day slaughter withdrawal from the last injection.
As with any daily-dosed antibiotic, the withdrawal counts from the final dose of the course — and the label caps treatment at 5 days and 10 mL per IM site.
What the label requires
- Slaughter withdrawal: 21 days from the last daily injection.
- Daily dosing — the clock starts at the end of the course, not the beginning.
- IM only, max 10 mL per site; do not treat more than 5 consecutive days.
Always follow the label on your bottle and your veterinarian's directions. Extra-label use — any different dose, route, or frequency — voids the withdrawal above; your vet sets the interval instead, usually via FARAD. When in doubt, hold longer.
