Aurofac® 100 Granular:  Dosage and administration
 
 
Aurofac® 100 Granular
Dosage and administration
The recommended dose rates are as follows:
Pigs:
10–20 mg/kg bodyweight daily
Broilers:
Layers:
20–30 mg/kg bodyweight daily
20-25 mg/kg bodyweight daily
Turkeys:
10–30 mg/kg bodyweight daily
Ducks:
10–30 mg/kg bodyweight daily
These dose rates can usually be achieved by mixing 3.0 kg of Aurofac® 100 Granular per tonne of complete feed to give a concentration of 300 ppm chlortetracycline hydrochloride. However, the correct incorporation rate should always be calculated based on the feed consumption rates of the animals to be treated.
The medicated feed should be supplied to the affected pen(s) or group(s) of pigs, chickens, turkeys or ducks. Treatment should be continued for a period of five to seven days for respiratory or systemic infections. During the treatment period, only feed medicated with Aurofac® 100 Granular should be supplied.
To ensure thorough dispersion of the product, it should first be mixed with a suitable quantity of feed ingredients before incorporation into the final mix.
