Indications
In weaned piglets: in herds where infection has been confirmed; treatment of infections caused by Streptococcus suis susceptible to amoxicillin.
Dose to be administered and administration route
For oral administration only after incorporation in feed.In-feed use at the final dose 15 mg amoxicillin/ kg b.w./ day, during 14 consecutive days.
In the case of an altered feed intake (clinical status, weight class, age, environment), adjust the incorporation rate in order to guarantee an intake of 15 mg amoxicillin/kg b.w./day.
According to the recommended dose, the number and animals weight to be treated, the exact dose of medicinal product to be incorporated in the feed should be calculated using the following formula:
During the granulation, mixture should not reach a temperature above 60ºC.
Body weight should be evaluated accurately to avoid underdosing.
Feed intake depends on the clinical condition of the animal, thus the concentration in the feed should be adjusted to assure the correct dosage. Mix well to ensure homogeneous distribution.
The medicated feed should be the only source of feed during the 14 days of treatment, which represents the maximum period of treatment with the product.
A manufacturer who is approved to incorporate directly at any concentration, veterinary medicinal products or premixtures containing such products must be responsible for mixing when incorporation is less than 2 kg per tonne for final feed.
