Doxycycline
ANTIBACTERIALS
Not veterinary advice. This is reference material, not veterinary advice, and it contains no dosages on purpose. Dose, course length and withdrawal all depend on the specific product, the formulation and the bird — the label on the bottle and your veterinarian govern, not this page.
- Treats
- Respiratory and systemic bacterial infection, including mycoplasma
- Route
- Drinking water
- Withdrawal, indicative
- Varies widely by formulation — one study reported up to 28 days
This is the clearest example of why the label matters: published withdrawal times for doxycycline range from about a week to 28 days depending on formulation, dose and the residue limit applied.
What to know
- Binds to calcium — hard water and calcium supplements reduce how much the bird absorbs.
- Widely used against mycoplasma in Pakistani flocks.
Before you sell
Withdrawal periods shown here are indicative ranges drawn from published studies. They vary by formulation, dose, route, tissue and the residue limit being applied — the same molecule can differ by weeks between products. Never sell or slaughter birds on a figure from a website.
