I'm 99% sure tsc does not carry a feed for this. I know they have a powder to put into the water but I don't know about a feed. What is the name your looking at?
You seem to be in the same shoes I was when first starting I did the same thing and ended up with issues as well.....you learn things fast after that. What you are looking for in medicated feed is called CTC it comes in a crumble or a powder type form to be fed. Now do you only or plan to only breed once a year??? If so you want to feed this medicated feed with some grain out a month before breeding and I would do it all threw out being bred. Some only give the last month but not everything will follow the time frame on what should go on. It says they will abort the last month but just because we say it should doesn't mean its gonna listen....know what I mean? Now I breed all threw the year so I feed the medicated feed all year long. I don't know for sure what has been going on here this year but I had a few bloody tails...2 are getting bags so I think they were just settling but not the other 2 so I figured the stronger were not allowing them to get enough of the meds and grain. I went and ground some grain and made a mix of the grain CTC and some salt up and now keep it out free choice and knock on wood seems to be working. I also when I do my 1 month per birth shots and feet trimming go ahead and give them a good dose of LA 200 since I have my hands on them. I have also learned anyone new that comes here not only stays away from the herd but also gets treated as though they have chlamydia so they also get a round of LA 200 before they step foot with the rest. Again knock on wood but this all seems to be working for me and hope this helps.

I think I can order it but will have to do math since what I get comes in a 50lb bag and is 10gram.
