POULTRY - As an aid in the treatment of caecal coccidiosis in growing chickens and laying birds.
CALVES - As an aid in the treatment of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria bovis and E. zuernii in calves.
Use Directions
POULTRY - As soon as caecal coccidiosis is diagnosed, give 0.024% amprolium in the drinking water for 5 to 7 days. Continue treatment with 0.006% amprolium medicated water for an additional one to two weeks.
No other source of drinking water should be available to the birds during this time.
Use as the sole source of amprolium.
CALVES - 0.012% amprolium in drinking water for 5 days. At the usual rate of water consumption, this will provide a daily intake of approximately 10 mg of amprolium per kg of body weight. Give as the sole source of water during the treatment period.
NOTE - When one or more calves show signs of coccidiosis, it is likely that the rest of the group have been exposed, and all calves in the group should be treated.
Amprol 9.6% Solution Caution
1. POULTRY - If no improvement is noted within 3 days, have the diagnosis reconfirmed and follow the instructions of your veterinarian or poultry pathologist. Losses may result from intercurrent disease or other conditions affecting drug intake which can contribute to the virulence of coccidiosis under field conditions.
2. CALVES - For a satisfactory diagnosis, a microscopic examination of the feces should be done before treatment. When treating outbreaks, drug should be administered promptly after diagnosis is determined.
Do not use in calves intended for future breeding.
