Zorabel is to be administered in drinking water. The recommended dosage is 7 mg toltrazuril per kg of body weight, equivalent to 28 ml of Zorabel per 100 kg liveweight, daily, for 2 days.
The treatment is to be given either continuously over 24 hours or over 8 hours per day. For continuous treatment over 24 hours, the volume of Zorabel to be added per litre of drinking water, in ml, is:
0.28 x mean liveweight (kg) of birds to be treated |
mean water consumption (litres) per bird over 24 hours |
For treatment over 8 hours per day, the volume of Zorabel to be added per litre of drinking water, in ml, is:
0.28 x mean liveweight (kg) of birds to be treated |
mean water consumption (litres) per bird over 8 hours |
Zorabel should be dissolved in drinking water by gentle mixing before its administration. Acidic water may cause precipitation of the active ingredient at recommended doses. The solution should be prepared daily. At concentrations ranging from 1 to 3 ml of Zorabel per litre of water, solubility is assured over the treatment period. At concentrations greater than 3 ml of Zorabel per litre of water, there may be precipitation. Sufficient access to the medicated water for adequate water consumption should be available for the birds under treatment. No other source of drinking water should be available during the period of medication. In free-range systems, birds should be kept in the house during treatment.
