Premoxil

Premoxil is a water-soluble antibiotic powder Battlecock sells for free range and heritage chicken, combining two antibiotics with paracetamol.

What Is Actually In It

Battlecock’s label lists three ingredients in Premoxil: Amoxicillin trihydrate, Tylosin tartrate, and Paracetamol. No per-ingredient amount is published; the label states the ingredient names only. Premoxil is sold as a sachet powder for mixing into drinking water, not as a tablet, and its label names Tylosin tartrate specifically, not a different salt form. Both details are stated here exactly as the manufacturer’s own label presents them.

What the Label Says It Is For

Battlecock’s label describes Premoxil as an “antibiotic medication for free range and heritage chicken,” followed by a list of conditions in Tagalog: gamot sa halak, pisik, sipon, coryza, malaria, lagnat, bulutong, fowl cholera, laway-laway, namamagang mata, nag-luluhang mata, matamlay at walang gana kumain. That is the manufacturer’s own indication text, reproduced here rather than restated as this site’s own claim. Several of the conditions named on that list, including coryza, fowl cholera, and avian malaria, can produce overlapping symptoms that are difficult to tell apart without a veterinarian’s assessment.

Forms It Comes In

Premoxil is a water-soluble powder, sold in sachets. Battlecock’s label gives two mixing instructions depending on disease severity: for a severe case, mix 5 grams (1 sachet) into 1.5 liters of drinking water; for a milder case, mix 5 grams (1 sachet) into 3 liters of drinking water. The label also instructs letting birds thirst before offering the medicated water. That instruction is quoted verbatim in the fact table above, sourced directly from the manufacturer’s own product label, and is not repeated or adjusted in this body text.

Withdrawal Period

Battlecock does not publish a withdrawal period for Premoxil. An absent published figure is not the same as a zero-day withdrawal, and it is not treated as one here, which matters for an antibiotic intended for birds that may later be eaten or produce eggs for consumption. Anyone weighing that timing should ask a veterinarian or agrivet.

What This Page Does Not Tell You

This page transcribes what Battlecock publishes about Premoxil. It does not tell a reader which of the many conditions on the label a bird’s symptoms actually match, or whether antibiotic treatment is the right response to a given presentation. See /blog/antibiotics-for-chickens-philippines for general background on antibiotic use in poultry, and take a bird’s specific symptoms to a veterinarian, an agrivet, or the local agriculture office before deciding on treatment.
