Denagard 12.5% Dosage Help

[kperki]

Hi,
I am going to do a treatment of Denagard on my flock for MG. I have turkeys and chickens and geese that free range together and I calculated out the weight of my flock at 357lbs and divided by 2.2 to get the kgs at 162kgs. But here is where I got confused. I saw to treat at .025 since its a treatment and I will be using MLs to measure it and put it in by the gallons. Can someone help me with this part and show me the formula so in the future when I do my monthly maintenance at .012 I can also figure it out and know how to do the formula. I have read other things on here and it got confusing and I do not want to do the wrong dose. Also could this hurt the cats if they drank the water? Thanks for any help.

0.025% per gallon is ~946 mg per gallon, I would round up to 1000 mg per gallon.
Denagard is 125 mg per 1 ml
1000 / 125 = 8 ml per gallon.

Does that help?

If you want to give it orally, the dose is 25 mg/kg
1 / 2.2 x 25 / 125 = 0.09 ml per pound.

Thank you so much! It confirms what I calculated after no response but was still not 109% sure. I appreciate the help.

Thank you for this! I posted asking about it and should have just searched!

@casportpony Do you know if you can give Denagard straight from the container, without diluting it? I free-range and it is over 110 degrees here with my free-ranging flock. I have trouble limiting their water sources.

No! It absolutely should be diluted. 1.875 mL/L of water. It's that powerful.

I am just finding this thread and having gotten my first Tiagard shipment today to treat a hen with respiratory issues, how long do I treat? Just until symptoms are gone? TY

I would treat two days past the cessation of symptoms.

I know this is an older post but I have a question. I see you equation for oral dosage which is great! Thank you . I see you told someone we still have to dilute it and then give the .09/lb to the chicken. My question is to make the smallest amount possible since I’m only using on one chicken how much tiaguard should I mix with how much water and then once I mix that is that what I draw up the .09/lb with?
