Dose to be administered and administration route
For oral administration.
The product is given by oral administration at a rate of 75mg/kg bodyweight of fish, daily for initially 4 days. After the initial treatment, mortalities should be assessed and a further 4 days treatment course should be administered if necessary.
The product is for administration only through the feed by mixing with manufactured feed prior to feeding. Feeding rates will vary according to the water temperature and it may therefore be more convenient to medicate on the basis of a fixed rate, e.g. 1% of bodyweight, with the extra daily feed requirement being met by unmedicated food.
The following inclusion rates will provide the recommended dose.

Sufficient quantity should be mixed into the medicated food until it is slightly dampened.
