Duramycin-10 question

It has been recommended that I try giving auction purchased calves Duramycin-10 in their water for the first 3 - 5 days as a preventative measure for scours.
What do you think?

In reading the dosage :
Recommended Dosage Level
Use soluble powder in the drinking water at a drug level of tetracycline hydrochloride per gallon to provide 10 mg/pound of body weight per day in divided doses. (Administer for 3-5 days.)

Can you convert those directions to TSP or ML per 5 gal of water for a 70 lb calf? A 100 lb calf?
Thanks
