Waterlogging of areas? Change in perching location due to bullying? Is it dominant or subordinate animals affected?</p> <p>If there is infection present then I will try and culture, if negative culture (or O declines) then amoxyclav is my first line at 125mg/kg but has no set withdrawal - I opt for a minimum of 28d given the long residue levels in livestock. If they insist on being able to eat the eggs promptly then tylan soluble is an option as it has zero egg withdrawal. Main treatment is identifying causative factors and resolving them</p> <p>Marie</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
