* 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
