The dosage of doxycycline hyclate in birds is 15mg/kg bodyweight daily. Dissolve 1 sachet in 2 litres of deionised or distilled water for pigeons and cage birds. For birds with low daily water intake, such as parakeets, 1 sachet of Ornicure should be dissolved in 0.5 litres of water.

An Ornicure treatment normally lasts 5 days. In case of severe infections, the treatment should be prolonged.

During the racing season, Ornicure can be used prophylactically during 2 consecutive days out of 7 weekly.
