Licospectin is a combination of Lincomycin and Spectinomycin.

Dosage of the single drugs:
Lincomycin: 50 mg / pigeon / day = 1 g / 1 liter drinkingwater
Spectinomycin: 100 mg / pigeon / day = 2 g / 1 liter water

It depends on the sort of bacteries. How long these drugs have to be used. Usually it is 5-7 days. In case of Mycoplasmosis you might have to use it longer than that.

The dosage of the drug-combination Linco-Spectin has to be calculated regarding the concentration of the two parts per gram Linco-Spectin powder (important: Lincomycin : Spectinomycin must be 1 : 2)
