Pigs: 35mg sodium salicylate/kg BW/day for 3 to 5 days. Orally in drinking water

Calves: 20mg sodium salicylate/kg BW/ day fro 1 to 3 days. Orally in drinking water or milk(replacer)

The following formula can be used to calculate the concentration of Solacyl® in drinking water or milk:

....mg Solacyl®/kg BW/d X mean body weight (kg) of animals to be treated /mean daily water or milk consumption (l) per animal = ....mg Solacyl® per l drinking water/milk

Alternatively Solacyl® can also be administered with the drinking water as pulse medication. Half of the calculated daily amount of powder is mixed with 5-10 litres of clean water and stirred until evenly dispersed. This solution is then added, whilst stirring, into an amount of drinking water that will be consumed within approximately 3-4 hours and administered twice daily.

Maximum solubility of Solacyl® in water is approximately 100g/litre.

The use of suitably calibrated weighing equipment for the administration of the calculated amount of sodium salicylate is recommended
