CTC is chlortetrycycline (sp) for which aureomycin is a brand name. IMO-doubt you could get enough oral CTC consumption to be effective with pinkeye. Just my 2 cents worth.
Good luck & happy trails.

We don't have a pinkeye problem. Never have. As the subject line said "prevention". Would be nice to head a problem off. Oh, and we do treat for flys. Poor herd management. I don't think so.

Usually CTC used for prevention of pinkeye is fed at 560 mg/lb in a mineral mix. That's equivalent to 1120 g/ton. Some producers will use higher levels than that such as 1400 mg/lb to assist with respiratory issues as well. You must be sure that you blend this very well.

Sorry, I should have added that this rate is designed for 4 oz. intake since some minerals are designed for more or less the medication would have to be adjusted accordingly.
