INDICATIONS:
CHICKENS
As an aid in the treatment of caecal coccidiosis in growing chickens and laying birds.
CALVES
As an aid in the treatment of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria bovis and E. zuernii in calves.
USE DIRECTIONS:
CHICKENS
As soon as caecal coccidiosis is diagnosed, give 0.024% amprolium in the drinking water for 5 to 7 days.
Continue treatment with 0.006% amprolium medicated water for an additional one to two weeks.
No other source of drinking water should be available to the birds during this time.
Use as the sole source of amprolium.
CALVES
0.012% amprolium in drinking water for 5 days. At the usual rate of water consumption, this will provide a daily intake of approximately 10 mg of amprolium per kg of body weight. Give as the sole source of water during the treatment period.
NOTE
When one or more calves show signs of coccidiosis, it is likely that the rest of the group have been exposed, and all calves in the group should be treated.
WARNING:
Treated calves must not be slaughtered for use in food for at least 7 days after the latest treatment with this drug.
No withdrawal period is required for meat or eggs when chickens are treated according to the label.
When handling the product, avoid oral exposure and direct contact with skin or eyes.
Keep out of reach of children.
CAUTIONS:
CHICKENS
If no improvement is noted within 3 days, have the diagnosis reconfirmed and follow the instructions of your veterinarian or poultry pathologist. Losses may result from intercurrent disease or other conditions affecting drug intake which can contribute to the virulence of coccidiosis under field conditions.
CALVES
For an appropriate diagnosis, a microscopic examination of the feces should be done before treatment. When treating outbreaks, drug should be administered promptly after diagnosis is determined.
Do not use in calves intended for future breeding
