Dosage & Administration
For oral administration.

- The product should be administered to small quantities of feed for immediate consumption by individual animals. Larger groups should be treated with medicated feeding stuff.
- The product should be mixed thoroughly into a part of the daily feed ration and should be administered prior to the feeding. It should be ensured that the calculated dose is completely taken up by the animals.
- If animals don’t recover within 3 days after oral medication, diagnosis should be reconsidered and treatment should be changed, if necessary.
- To ensure the correct dosage and to avoid possible under-dosing, the bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible.
