Uses

FINFISH  For the marking of skeletal tissues in finfish fry and fingerlings.

                Immerse in 200-700 mg oxytetracycline HCL (buffered)/L of water for 2-6 hours.  Solution should be tested on a small number of fish

                before full-scale use.  See Residue Warnings.

                DISPOSAL OF TREATED WATERS:  Do not discharge marking immersion water containing oxytetracycline into surface waters.

                ADVERSE REACTIONS:  Oxytetracycline HCL will acidify the water.  The pH should be maintained at an acceptable level for fish

                by the addition of a buffer.  Monitor water quality and temperature.

RESIDUE WARNINGS: Do not administer to cattle or sheep within 5 days of slaughter.  Zero day withdrawal in chickens, turkeys and swine.  Do not administer to chickens or turkeys producing eggs for human consumption.  A milk discard period has not been established for this product in lactating dairy cattle.  Do not use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older.  An additional withdrawal time beyond the grow-out period is not needed for finfish.  For honey bees, the drug should be fed early in the spring or fall and consumed by the bees before main honey flow begins to avoid contamination of production honey.  Remove at least 6 weeks prior to main honey flow.
