Doxylak Forte is LDI’s doxycycline-based antibiotic, sold as a tablet paired with tiamulin and as a powder paired with colistin.
What Is Actually In It
The tablet form carries 100 mg of Doxycycline (as Hyclate) and 50 mg of Tiamulin Hydrogen Fumarate per tablet. The powder form carries 100 mg of Doxycycline Hydrochloride and 50,000 IU of Colistin Sulfate per gram. Those four figures are transcribed exactly as LDI publishes them for each respective form.
What the Label Says It Is For
LDI’s tablet label states it treats “respiratory, intestinal and urogenital tract infections in gamefowls,” naming Chronic Respiratory Disease (CRD) and Colibacillosis specifically. The powder label adds Coryza, Infectious Bronchitis, Salmonellosis, Fowl Cholera, Clostridial Infections and Urogenital Tract Infections. Both are the manufacturer’s own indications for the two forms. See our antibiotics for chickens guide for general background.
Forms It Comes In
LDI sells Doxylak Forte as a tablet, dosed once daily for 3 to 5 days, and as a water-soluble powder, dosed at 5 g per 4 L of drinking water for 5 to 7 days.
Withdrawal Period
LDI publishes a withdrawal period of 12 days for Doxylak Forte, meaning 12 days should pass between the last dose and slaughter. The manufacturer does not publish a separate egg withdrawal figure.
What This Page Does Not Tell You
This page transcribes what LDI publishes about Doxylak Forte. It does not tell a reader whether a flock’s symptoms match CRD, Colibacillosis, or any of the other conditions on the label, several of which overlap in presentation. Bring your flock’s symptoms to a veterinarian, an agrivet, or the local agriculture office before deciding on treatment.
