Dosage and administration

Mix the appropriate quantity of Elancoban G200 to obtain the recommended levels of monensin, with 20–50 kg of a suitable feed component prior to incorporation into the bulk of the feed to be prepared.

Incorporate only as described below:

Broiler and layer replacement chickens

Elancoban G200 should be mixed thoroughly into broiler and layer replacement feeds at 500 g (0.5kg) or a level up to 625 g (0.625kg) per metric tonne. This will provide monensin equivalent to 100 g or concentrations up to 125 g monensin activity per metric tonne of complete feed (100ppm - 125ppm).

Broiler chickens

Feed containing Elancoban G200 should be fed continuously as the only ration until 3 days before slaughter for human consumption.

Layer replacement chickens

Feed containing Elancoban G200 should be fed continuously from day old up to a maximum of 16 weeks of age.

Turkeys for fattening

It is recommended that 300 g (0.3kg) to 500 g (0.5kg) of Elancoban G200 be thoroughly mixed in one metric tonne of complete turkey feed. This will provide monensin equivalent to 60 to 100 g activity per metric tonne of feed (60ppm - 100ppm). Feed containing Elancoban G200 should be fed continuously as the only ration from day old up to 3 days before slaughter for human consumption, to a maximum of 16 weeks of age.

Contra-indications, warnings, etc

Elancoban G200 should be carefully mixed with the mineral supplement or other feed ingredients prior to the feed being manufactured to ensure even distribution in the final feed.
