5 antibiotics cover things here PenG Oxy LP (LA and water soluable versions of tetracycline too) Tylan, Trivetrin (or equiv as Borgol) and liquid Sulfamethazine. I'll hold off on the more powerful Nuflor and Micotil until I need something more powerful. I can get them, just as we run a nearly closed flock and restrict access by the public so far things have been quite controlable. We don't use much antibiotics anyhow. Just for fun (and I doubt I NEED all this stuff, it's just nice to have) here's as complete a list as I can remember of what meds etc we keep on hand here:
-The 5 antibiotics mentioned, they should cover 95% of bacterial problems here.
-Vitamins AD, E Selenium (we're Sel deficiant here), B complex, Thiamin, B12 and Iron (injectable)
