(Guide-dose volume is equivalent to 0.25 ml per 5 kg daily).
If dose volume exceeds 20 ml in cattle or 10 ml in sheep and pigs it should be divided and injected in two sites.
Normal aseptic precautions should be observed.
An appropriately graduated syringe should be used to allow accurate administration of the required dose volume. This is particularly important when injecting small volumes.
