What is the ratio of Di-Methox, the soluable powder, to water?

[heir_flick]

By volume? (this is for chickens/turkeys. It's cocci season...ugh...) I have one packet of this stuff. 3.34 oz. Does anyone have a nice conversion table or something? Or a recipe?

 

[Glenda L Heywood]

if you can tell me what it says to use in what amt of water
do this
take the amt of oz's divided by the amts of gallons of water

then this gives yoiu the amt to put in a gallon of water

ie: amt od oz's is 16 amt of gallons is 100= .16 oz to gallon of water
any questions email me

 

[Glenda L Heywood]

after doing a google.com search there is many of the Di-Methox medications

it says it is a vet recommeded product

if that is so what did your vet tell you
and just what is the name and what is it for?
Di-Methox has different strengths
so may be you will need to go to a vet and get help

this looks like pretty strong stuff so know what you are doing when using it

This medication now requires a prescription from a veterinarian, but for those that have a pack of it, the chicken dose is about 1 teaspoon per gallon.
