I just came here to ask the same question!

I'm pretty sure my 5-week old Cornish Rock X meat birds have coccidiosis (2 dead birds in 2 days, mucousy bloody droppings).

I've called every feed store in my area for either Sulmet or Corid and no one has anything in stock except for Tractor Supply, and they only had ONE 10-oz bag of the 20% Soluble Powder left.

This chart http://www.sheepandgoat.com/articles/coccidtable205.pdf says to treat, you mix 4-oz of powder in 50 gal of water. I'm guessing that would mean 0.08-oz per 1 gallon of water, but how in heck do I measure 0.08-oz of powder??

I don't need 50-gallons of water!

Does anyone who has done Corid treatments have a better way to mix the 20% soluble powder?

Thanks

We used 1/2 tab to 1 1/2 gallons of water. I'm not sure how long to use it though.
I gave the girls my daughter brought over a bath they all had pasty butt, now I'm cleaning all the floor area and coop. I have a dirt floor any one have ideas on how to disinfect it.


My corrid is in a bottle 9.6 oral solution

The Corid 20% soluable powder dosage is 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of water for 5 days. Make it fresh daily, dont add anything to it such as ACV, electrolytes, vitamins etc, and it must be their sole source of treated water to drink.
The Corid 9.6% liquid solution dosage is 9.5cc's per gallon of water for 5 days. It's best to make a fresh batch daily etc...

Does 9.6=1/2 tsp
Nope it does not but found something that would work to measure it.
