Kathy, could you explain post number 202 better? Even I don't get it.
One has two choices, Corid powder or Corid liquid. The FDA and the mfg say this:
FDA recommendations:
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/animaldrugsatfda/details.cfm?dn=013-149
"Chickens
Indications: For the treatment of coccidiosis.
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."
And this link has these instructions:
http://www.drugs.com/vet/amprol-9-6-solution-can.html
"Poultry - as Soon As Caecal Coccidiosis Is Diagnosed, Give 0.024% Amprolium In The Drinking Water For 5 To 7 Days. Continue The Treatment With 0.006% Amprolium Medicated Water For An Additional One To Two Weeks. No Other Source Of Drinking Water Should Be Available To The Birds During This Time."
So one needs to decide if they have a moderate or severe outbreak and treat accordingly for 5-7 days, then another 7 days at the "preventative" dose (0.006%). I always treat for a severe outbreak (0.024%), but some people are more conservative, so I thought I should include all the data.
With me so far? All doses are per US gallon. Make fresh daily and medicated water needs to be only source of water (no puddle, creeks, ponds, etc).
Treat with for 5-7 days:
The severe outbreak dose (.024%) for Corid Powder is
1.5 teaspoons
The severe outbreak dose (.024%) for Corid liquid is 2 teaspoon.
or for 5-7 days:
The moderate outbreak dose (.012%) for Corid Powder is
3/4 teaspoon.
The moderate outbreak dose (.012%) for Corid liquid is 1 teaspoon.
followed by for for 5-7 days:
The preventative dose (.006%) for Corid Powder is
1/3 teaspoon.
The preventative dose (.006%) for Corid liquid is 1/2 teaspoon.
Total number of days = 12 to 14
