Indications

Piglets:

For the prevention of clinical signs of cystoisosporosis in neonatal piglets on farms with a confirmed history of cystoisosporosis caused by Cystoisospora suis.

Calves:

Dose to be administered and administration route

Oral use.

Shake well before use.

Piglets:

Individual animal treatment.

Each piglet to be treated on day 3-5 of life with a single oral dose of 20 mg toltrazuril/kg body weight corresponding to 0.4 ml oral suspension per kg body weight.

Treatment during an outbreak will be of limited value for the individual piglet because of damage to the small intestine having already occurred.

Due to the small volumes required to treat individual piglets, use of dosing equipment with a dose accuracy of 0.1 ml is recommended.

Calves:

Each calf should be treated with a single oral dose of 15 mg toltrazuril/kg body weight corresponding to 3 ml oral suspension per 10 kg body weight.

If animals are to be treated collectively, reasonably homogeneous groups should be set up, and all animals of a group should be dosed at the rate corresponding to the heaviest one.

To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
