Pigs drink less water when a dose of 300 to 400 mg/litre (1.5 to 2 times the recommended dose) is administered. While this will result in less intake of tilmicosin, it might lead to dehydration of the animals. Replace with untreated water when needed. No symptoms were observed in fowls treated at 375 mg/litre for 5 days. A dose of 75 mg/litre for 10 days resulted in less consistent faeces. No symptoms of overdose were noticed in turkeys treated at 375 mg/litre of drinking water for 3 days. No symptoms were observed at 75 mg/litre for 6 days.
