Corid 9.6% Liquid
Dose measuring for chickens
I was not satisfied with the conversation between US measures and metric measures...it was difficult to get a clearcut US measure amount in my opinion.
For this method use a clean 2 liter soda bottle (it will fill it more than halfway)
Use the mL measures you'll find on most liquid measuring cups. (My Pyrex 2 cup measuring cup has metric on the opposite side from the U.S. measurements.)
Use a dosing syringe that measures in mL units down to 1mL. (These are available at the drug store or pharmacy section of the grocery store.)
See Merck Veterinary Manual Table 3 for use in water:

Treatment calls for
0.012 % to 0.024% solution for 3 to 5 days
Then
0.006% solution for 1 to 2 weeks
Corid manufacturer states (near the bottom of page 2) that there are 96mg (weight) of amprolium per 1mL (volume) of liquid in the solution.

Thus, using the "by weight per volume" solution concentration calculator found here

To get a .012% concentration
96mg (1mL of the liquid) added to 799mL of water equals 800mL
That is not much, so multiply by 2
**2mL Corid liquid in 1598mL of water makes 1600 mL of 0.012% mg/mL solution**
To get a .024% concentration
96mg (1mL of the liquid) added to 399mL of water equals 400mL
That is not much, so multiply by 4
**4mL Corid liquid in 1596mL of water makes 1600 mL of 0.024% mg/mL solution**
To get a .006% concentration
96mg (1mL of the liquid) added to 1599mL of water equals 1600mL
**1mL Corid liquid in 1599mL of water makes 1600mL of 0.006% mg/mL solution**
All of these formulations provide 1600 mL which equals 1.6 liters, so you can mix in a clean 2 liter soda bottle.
