For the administration through the drinking water milk or milk replacer, the exact daily amount of product should be calculated, based on the recommended dose, and the number and weight of the animals to be treated, according to the following formula:

mg product / kg body weight / day	x	Mean body weight (kg) of animals to be treated	=	.... mg product per litre drinking water /milk/milk replacer
Mean daily water/milk/milk replacer consumption (litre) per animal

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

The uptake of medicated water/milk /milk replacer depends on several factors including clinical conditions of the animals and the local conditions such as ambient temperature and humidity.

In order to obtain the correct dosage, drinking water/milk/milk replacer uptake has to be monitored and the concentration of paromomycin has to be adjusted accordingly. Medicated drinking water/milk/milk replacer and any stock solutions should be freshly prepared. Any remaining quantities of medicated fluids should be removed after 6 hours (in milk/milk replacer) or 24 hours (in water).

To assure administration of the exact daily amount of product suitably calibrated weighing equipment should be used.

For the administration of the product commercially available dosing pumps can be used. The solubility of the product has been tested at the maximum concentration of 95 g/L.
