Baycox 2.5% Oral Solution
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Baycox does not interfere with the development of immunity against coccidiosis. As with all anticoccidials, prolonged use may result in the development of resistant strains.
Dilutions more concentrated than 1:1,000 (1 ml Baycox 2.5% to 1 litre drinking water) may result in precipitation. Predilution is not recommended. Baycox is compatible with coccidiostats and amoebostats. A three - five fold overdosage is readily tolerated without any symptoms. If the recommended dose is exceeded beyond 3 - 5 times there is a decrease in water intake.
Consumer Safety.
Do not slaughter birds for human consumption during treatment or for a period of 18 days following last administration.
Do not use in birds producing eggs for human consumption.
User Safety
Baycox is an alkaline solution.
Wear synthetic rubber gloves when handling the product.
Wash any splashes from skin and eyes immediately with water.
Wash hands and exposed skin after use.
Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst using the product.
Environmental Safety
Only make up sufficient drinking water for requirements. Wash out empty container with water 3 times when medicating birds and add washings to drinking water.
Store litter from treated houses as long as possible. Do not apply to agricultural land at a rate greater than 2 tonnes/hectare/year. If spreading within an NVZ ensure that the NVZ action program rules are complied with.
The principle metabolite of toltrazuril is persistent and mobile in groundwater. Disposal of manure from treated birds of all species is therefore likely to require prior authorisation from the local environmental regulatory authority. The local office of the Environment Agency, SEPA or Environment and Heritage Service of Northern Ireland should be contacted in good time before disposing of manure from treated birds.
Any unused product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with national requirements.
