Species
Pigs (Piglet 3 - 5 days old).
Cattle (calves on dairy farms).
Sheep (lambs).
Indications
Pigs:
For the prevention of clinical signs of coccidiosis in neonatal piglets (3 – 5 days) on farms with a confirmed history of coccidiosis caused by Cystoisospora suis.
Cattle:
For the prevention of clinical signs of coccidiosis and reduction of oocyst shedding in housed calves replacing cows producing milk for human consumption (dairy cows) on farms with a confirmed history of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria bovis or Eimeria zuernii.
Sheep:
For the prevention of clinical signs of coccidiosis and reduction of oocyst shedding in lambs on farms with a confirmed history of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria crandallis and Eimeria ovinoidalis.
Dose to be administered and administration route
For oral use.
The oral suspension must be shaken before use.
To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
To obtain maximum benefit, animals should be treated before the expected onset of clinical signs, i.e. in the prepatent period.
Pigs:
Individual animal treatment.
Each piglet should be treated on day 3 to 5 of life with a single oral dose of 20 mg toltrazuril per kg body weight corresponding to 0.4 ml oral suspension per kg body weight.
Due to the small volumes required to treat individual piglets, use of dosing equipment with a dose accuracy of 0.1 ml is recommended.
Cattle:
Each animal should be treated with a single oral dose of 15 mg toltrazuril/kg body weight corresponding to 3.0 ml oral suspension per 10 kg body weight.
If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be grouped according to their body weight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid under- or over-dosing.
Sheep:
Each animal should be treated with a single oral dose of 20 mg toltrazuril/kg body weight corresponding to 0.4 ml oral suspension per kg body weight.
If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be grouped according to their body weight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid under- or over-dosing.
