DOSAGE AND
ADMINISTRATION
DOSAGE: CATTLE,
CALVES AND SWINE
1st Day:
6 tablespoons (3 fl oz) for each 100 lb body weight, providing approximately
112.5 mg/lb (247.5 mg/kg) body weight.
2nd, 3rd, and 4th
Days: 3 tablespoons (1½ fl oz)
for each 100 lb body weight, providing approximately 56.25 mg/lb (123.75 mg/kg)
body weight.
DOSAGE: POULTRY
Add 2 tablespoons (1
fl oz) to each gallon of drinking water, or the contents of this container to 16
gallons. Following administration directions below, this will provide a
recommended dose of approximately 61 to 89 mg/lb/day (134 to 196 mg/kg/day) body
weight in chickens and 53 to 130 mg/lb/day (117 to 286 mg/kg/day) body weight in
turkeys, depending upon the dosage, age and class of chickens or turkeys,
ambient temperature, and other factors.
ADMINISTRATION:
CATTLE, CALVES AND SWINE
Add the required dose
given above to that amount of water that will be consumed in 1 day; consumption
should be carefully checked. Factors such as temperature, humidity and disease
will cause variable fluid intake. As a generalization, the above animals will
consume approximately 1 gallon per 100 lb body weight per day.
ADMINISTRATION:
CHICKENS AND TURKEYS
Add the required dose
given above to that amount of water that will be consumed in 1 day. Water
consumption should be carefully checked to insure adequate drug intake. As a
generalization, 100 turkeys will drink 1 gallon of water per day for each week
of age; chickens will consume one-half this amount.
Infectious Coryza
(in chickens): Medicate for 2
consecutive days.
Acute Fowl Cholera
and Pullorum Disease (in chickens):
Medicate for 6 consecutive days.
Coccidiosis (in
chickens and turkeys): Medicate
as above for 2 days, then reduce amount of Sulmet Drinking Water Solution to
one-half above for 4 additional days.
WARNING
DO NOT MEDICATE
CHICKENS OR TURKEYS PRODUCING EGGS FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. TO AVOID DRUG RESIDUES
IN EDIBLE FLESH - WITHDRAW MEDICATION FROM CHICKENS AND TURKEYS TEN (10) DAYS
PRIOR TO SLAUGHTER FOR FOOD.
TREATED CATTLE MUST
NOT BE SLAUGHTERED FOR AT LEAST TEN (10) DAYS AFTER THE LAST DOSE. EXCEEDING
FIVE (5) CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF TREATMENT MAY CAUSE VIOLATIVE TISSUE RESIDUE TO
REMAIN BEYOND THE WITHDRAWAL TIME. DO NOT USE IN CALVES UNDER ONE (1) MONTH OF
AGE OR CALVES BEING FED AN ALL-MILK DIET. USE IN THESE CLASSES OF CALVES MAY
CAUSE VIOLATIVE RESIDUES TO REMAIN BEYOND THE WITHDRAWAL TIME. DO NOT USE IN
FEMALE DAIRY CATTLE 20 MONTHS OF AGE OR OLDER. USE OF SULFAMETHAZINE IN THIS
CLASS OF CATTLE MAY CAUSE MILK RESIDUES.
WITHDRAW MEDICATION
FROM SWINE FIFTEEN (15) DAYS PRIOR TO SLAUGHTER FOR FOOD.
CAUTION
For best advice in
control and treatment of animal disease, consult a veterinarian.
Have only medicated
water available during treatment, and check carefully to insure adequate Sulmet
dosage and water intake. Cattle and calves not drinking or eating must be dosed
by drench or with Sulmet Oblets. For best results, treat sick animals
individually.
In poultry, consult a
veterinarian or poultry pathologist for diagnosis. For control of outbreaks of
disease, medication should be initiated as soon as the diagnosis is determined.
Medicated cattle,
swine, chickens and turkeys must actually consume enough medicated water which
provides the recommended dosages.
Sulmet works fast. If
symptoms persist after using this preparation for 2 or 3 days, consult a
veterinarian. Excessive dosage may cause toxic reactions; follow above dosage
and administration instructions carefully. Hatchability of eggs laid during
medication with sulfas and for short periods thereafter, may be adversely
affected. Treatment of all diseases should be instituted early. Treatment should
continue 24 to 48 hours beyond the remission of disease symptoms, but not to
exceed a total of 5 consecutive days in cattle or swine. |
