MIXING DIRECTIONS
NICARB (nicarbazin) 25% should be thoroughly and evenly mixed in the feed in accordance with current good manufacturing practice for feed. Type C medicated feeds should contain 0.01 – 0.02% nicarbazin. Uniformly mix 0.8 – 1.6 pounds of Nicarb 25% with one of the feed ingredients to make at least 10 pounds of premix before final mixing. Mix the resulting premix with feed to make 1 ton (2000 lb) of finished feed containing 0.01 – 0.02% nicarbazin.
SUGGESTED DIRECTIONS FOR FEED TAGS
Use Directions
Use Nicarbazin Type C medicated feed as the only ration from the time chicks are placed on litter until past the time when coccidiosis is ordinarily a hazard.
CAUTION:
Do not feed to laying chickens.
Do not use as a treatment for outbreaks of coccidiosis. Do not use in flushing mashes.
If losses exceed 0.5 percent in a 2-day period, obtain an accurate diagnosis and follow the instructions of your veterinarian or poultry pathologist.
Broilers fed feed medicated with NICARB 25% may show reduced heat tolerance when exposed to high temperature and high humidity to which they have not been accustomed and under severe conditions, fatalities may result. An ample supply of drinking water and adequate ventilation will improve the birds’ tolerance of heat.
WARNING:
Withdraw 4 days before slaughter when used at levels ≤ 0.0125%.
