Oxine AH

[amanda_rimo]

Hello, does anyone have the correct measurements for mixing Oxine AH into a spray bottle with water to mist over the ducks and their area? I would greatly appreciate it

According to the lable: Place 3 1/4 fl oz of Oxine® concentrate into a clean plastic pail or container, to this solution add 1 gallon of clean potable water.

You have to add some other crystals too. Please study this pdf of the lable

That sounds like a lot to add. And I’m pretty sure you don’t add the crystals bc then it activated it and makes it toxic to the ducks? @Miss Lydia

You don't use the crystals just the Oxine I use a 3/4 cup measuring cup and add it to 1 gallon of water.
Here is what I go by
https://shagbarkbantams.com/the-many-uses-of-oxine-ah-animal-health/
point the spray bottle above their heads and let the mist gently fall on their faces.
@Jenbirdee uses it to treat her duck who had aspergillosis.

If you have a duck having difficulty breathing nebulizing would be a good idea.

Do you mist the whole area they are in as well? Like their run? Does anyone deal with what seems like mold growing on the dirty from when it gets super wet and then dries?

I spray down my roosts everyday that my chickens roost on. After I clean the shaving for wet poop I spray the shavings. I haven't seen mold on the dirt here but mine are not penned. I think taking a rake and going over this dirt a couple times a week might help and maybe try white vinegar mixed with water sprayed on the dirt It won't hurt the ducks and is alot cheaper than Oxine ah. I have never tried using white vinegar and water to spray down the dirt but I use white vinegar to clean my water buckets and pools

3/4 cup is 6oz. Miss Lydia's recipe uses more than the label

 

[Miss Lydia]

Shagbark bantams rec 6.5 oz I use 6 I’ve used this for years with no problems at all.

i fill my spray bottle to 22 ounces and add 2 tablespoons of the oxine. It comes out to the same mixture as 6 ounces per gallon.
