Amprolium 9.6% Solution


It should say 0.024%, not 0.014%

http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary...lDrugProducts/FOIADrugSummaries/ucm148849.htm
"K. Recommended Dosage:
Give amprolium at the 0.012% level (8 fl oz per 50 gallons) as soon as coccidiosis is diagnosed and continue for 3 to 5 days. (In severe outbreaks, give amprolium at the 0.024% level.) Continue with 0.006% amprolium medicated water for an additional 1 to 2 weeks. No other source of drinking water should be available to the birds during this time. Use as the source of amprolium."

"USE DIRECTIONS: Give amprolium at the 0.012% level (10 oz AmproMed™ P FOR POULTRY per 128 Gallons) as soon as coccidiosis is diagnosed and continue for three to five days. (In severe outbreaks, give amprolium at the 0.024% level.) Continue with 0.006% amprolium medicated water for an additional 1 to 2 weeks. No other source of drinking water should be available to the birds during this time."

Can anyone confirm if this is what is in Gail Damerow's Chicken Health Handbook?



Should be on page 206 in this book:


If it really does say that, it's a mistake.

Per the FDA:
Amount: Administer at the 0.012 percent level in drinking water as soon as coccidiosis is diagnosed and continue for 3 to 5 days (in severe outbreaks, give amprolium at the 0.024 percent level); continue with 0.006 percent amprolium-medicated water for an additional 1 to 2 weeks."

0.024 % = no less than 1.5 teaspoons per gallon
0.012 % = no less than 3/4 teaspoons per gallon
0.006 % = 1/3 teaspoon per gallon

The Denagard dose listed on the Twin City Poultry website is *wrong*. Will post more info later. This is not the first mistake on their site I have seen.

Hmm. I dosed mine with 15ml per gallon, is that OK?


The mfg suggests 2 ml per liter, so it's a little under 8 ml per US gallon. Not sure where Twin City got their info. Did your chickens drink it? 15 ml probably won't hurt them. :D

I wish that Twin City would show the source for their dosing info.

Having said that, I will find the data sheets that say to give the 2 ml per liter.

I'm sure they'll be okay.

Another from Gail Damerow:

Amounts of 1% ivermectin given orally suggested are quite a bit more than most vets would suggest using. Additionally, my ivermectin experiment suggested that 1% ivermectin is *not* water soluble.

Found this on the My Pet Chicken website:


I think most people will think that it means to mix two tablespoons of the powder to one gallon, but it doesn't. The directions say to mix one whole bag to one gallon, then two tablespoons of that gallon per gallon.

Quote:
ADMINISTRATION IN DRINKING WATER
Prepare a 12.0% stock solution by adding the contents of this package to one gallon of water.
DOSAGE: CATTLE, CALVES AND SWINE

1st day: 6 tablespoons (3 fl oz) for each 100 lb body weight, providing approximately 108 mg/lb (237.6 mg/kg) body weight.
2nd, 3rd, 4th days: 3 tablespoons (1 1/2 fl oz) for each 100 lb body weight, providing approximately 54 mg/lb (118.8 mg/kg) body weight.
DOSAGE: POULTRY: Add 2 tablespoons (1 fl oz) to each gallon, or one gallon of stock solution to 128 gallons. Following administration directions, this will provide a recommended dose of approximately 58 to 85 mg/lb/day (128 to 187 mg/kg/day) body weight in chickens and 50 to 124 mg/lb/day (110 to 273 mg/kg/day) body weight in turkeys, depending upon the dosage, age, class of chickens or turkeys, ambient temperature and other factors.
