HydroDoxx

To be administered in drinking water.

Chickens (broilers): 20 mg of doxycycline (equivalent to 40 mg of the veterinary medicinal product) / kg BW / day for 3 - 5 days

Fattening pigs: 10 mg of doxycycline (equivalent to 20 mg of the veterinary medicinal product) / kg b.w / day for 5 days.

For the preparation of the medicated water the body weight of the animals to be treated and their actual daily water intake should be taken into due account. Consumption may vary depending on factors like age, state of health, breed, husbandry system. Based on the recommended dose, and the number and weight of the animals to be treated, the exact daily amount of hydroDoxx should be calculated according to the following formula:

To ensure a correct dosage body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing.

The uptake of medicated water is dependent on the clinical conditions of the animals. In order to obtain the correct dosage the concentration in drinking water may have to be adjusted. Do not use at concentrations lower than 0.23 g of powder /l in drinking water with pH higher or equal to 7.5 to avoid precipitation.

Sufficient access to the system of water supply should be available for the animals to be treated to ensure adequate water consumption. No other source of drinking water should be available during the medication period.

The use of suitably calibrated weighing equipment is recommended if part packs are used. The daily amount is to be added to the drinking water such that all medication will be consumed in 24 hours. Medicated drinking water should be freshly prepared every 24 hours. It is recommended to prepare a concentrated pre-solution - approximately 100 grams product per litre drinking water - and to dilute this further to therapeutic concentrations if required. Alternatively, the concentrated solution can be used in a proportional water medicator.
