Piglets after weaning, from the age of 21 days to 10 weeks.
Prevention of post-weaning diarrhoea in piglets.

By administering the medicated premix, piglet manure may become white to yellowish, but the situation returns to normal after cessation of treatment.
The medicated premix is administered orally by incorporation into fodder.
The recommended dose is 100 mg zinc oxide/kg body weight for 14 days.
Colistop Premix is given to piglets from weaning (from the age of 21 days) to the age of 10 weeks.
Since the preventive treatment begins after weaning (21 days of age) and the average weight of the piglets is about 7 kg body weight with an average daily consumption of approximately 0.225 kg of fodder, the recommended dose of Colistop Premix in the final fodder is 3100 mg of Colistop Premix per kg of fodder (equivalent to 2500 mg zinc per kg of fodder). This dose corresponds to 3.1 kg of Colistop Premix per tonne of fodder.
The amount of fodder ingested depends on the clinical condition of the animal so the fodder concentration must be adjusted to ensure proper dosing. Mix thoroughly to ensure homogeneous distribution of the premix in the fodder.
Meat and offal: 28 days.
This product does not require any special use conditions. Store in the original package. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the label.
Shelf life of the veterinary medicinal product as packaged for sale: 2 years. Shelf-life after first opening the immediate packaging: 28 days. Shelf-life after incorporation into fodder: 28 days.
The administration of zinc-oxide medicated premix may alter certain biological parameters such as alkaline phosphatase, alpha-amylase activity, but these return to normal after discontinuation of therapy.
Since zinc accumulates in the soil, it is recommended to rotate every two years the land on which the piglet manure is spread.
