For use in drinking water.

Chickens

The recommended dosage is 13.1 mg amoxicillin (equivalent to 18.8 mg veterinary medicinal product) per kg body weight daily for 3 consecutive days or in severe cases for 5 consecutive days.

Ducks

Recommended dosage is 17.4 mg amoxicillin (equivalent to 25 mg veterinary medicinal product) per kg body weight daily for 3 consecutive days.

Turkeys

Recommended dosage is 13.1-17.4 mg amoxicillin (equivalent to 18.8 to 25 mg veterinary medicinal product) per kg body weight daily for 3 consecutive days or in severe cases for 5 consecutive days.

Prepare the solution with fresh tap water immediately before use. Any unused medicated water should be discarded after 12 hours. In order to ensure consumption of the medicated water, animals should not have access to other water supplies whilst being treated. The following formula may be used to calculate the required concentration of product (in milligrams of product per litre drinking water):

To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing. The uptake of medicated water depends on the clinical condition of the birds. In order to obtain the correct dosage the concentration of amoxicillin has to be adjusted taking into account water intake. After the end of the medication period the water supply system should be cleaned appropriately to avoid intake of sub-therapeutic amounts of the active substance. Maximum solubility of the product in water of at least 10 °C is approximately 6 g/l within 10 minutes. At lower temperatures (4° C), the maximum solubility is approximately 5 g/l within 10 minutes.

The calculated dose should be measured out with calibrated scales.

For stock solutions and when using a proportioner, take care not to exceed the maximum solubility which can be achieved under the given conditions. Adjust flow rate settings of the dosing pump according to concentration of the stock solution and water intake of the animals to be treated
