Amount(s) to be administered and administration route
For incorporation into dry feed at the registered mill. A manufacturer who is approved to incorporate directly at any concentration, veterinary medicinal products or premixtures containing such products must be responsible for mixing when incorporation is less than 2kg per tonne for final feed.
15 mg of amoxicillin per kg or bodyweight daily for 14 consecutive days.
This dose may be achieved by the addition of:
1) 400 ppm or 8 kg of Stabox per ton of feed in starter feed
2) 300 ppm or 6 kg of Stabox per ton of feed in feed intended for piglets older than 6 weeks.
To ensure thorough dispersion, the product should first be mixed with a suitable quantity of feed before incorporation in the final mix. The product can be incorporated into pelleted feed, preconditioned at a temperature not greater than 80°C, humidity of around 18 per cent and pressure of about 10 bars.
To ensure a correct dosage body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing. The intake of medicated feed depends on the clinical condition of the animal. In order to obtain the correct dosage, the concentration of Stabox has to be adjusted accordingly.
