Chickens (broilers): 10-20mg of doxycycline/kg BW/ day for 3-5 days (i.e. 0.5-1.0 ml of product/litre of drinking water/day)

Pigs: 10mg of doxycycline/kg BW/ day for 5 days (i.e. 1 ml of product/10kg BW/day)

Medicated water should be the only drinking source.

To ensure a correct dosage bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing. The uptake of medicated water depends on the clinical condition of the animals. In order to obtain the correct dosage the concentration of doxycycline has to be adjusted accordingly.Use appropriate and properly calibrated dosing equipment. The medicated water is only usable for 24 hours and should be made freshly every day. The remaining medicated water should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements. If no improvement in clinical signs is seen within the treatment duration,the diagnosis should be reviewed and treatment changed.
