Pigs and chickens (broilers)
Pigs Treatment and prevention (in populations where the diagnosis has been confirmed) at group level, when there are clinical signs of chronic respiratory disease (pleuropneumonia) caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida.
Chickens (broilers) - The treatment and prevention (in populations where the diagnosis has been confirmed) at group level, when clinical signs of the following are present:
enteritis (colibacillosis) caused by E. coli.
respiratory diseases (mycoplasma) caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum.
Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substances or to product excipients. Do not use in poultry laying eggs for human consumption. Do not use in hogs for reproduction.
In pigs, during treatment, a reduction in water consumption and the occurrence of the following side effects can occur: erythema/perianal and rectal oedema, transient diarrhoea, constipation and dark brown faeces. These reactions are transient and reversible.
Administration: oral, in drinking water.
Pigs - Administer a dose of 15 mg active substance/kg body weight/day, i.e., 0.15 mL of product 0.15%/kg body weight/day, for 5 consecutive days. The amount of Florcrid 100 mg/mL solution (CSF) will be calculated based on the Total Body Weight (TBW) of the population to be treated and the Total Water Consumption (TWC) of the population in 24 hours using the following formula: CSF (L) = [15xTBW (kg)]/[100xTWC (L))] per 1000 L medicated tank water.
Chickens (broilers) - Administer a dose of 30 mg active substance/kg body weight/day, i.e., 0.3 mL of product/kg body weight/day, for 3 consecutive days. The amount of Florcrid 100 mg/mL solution (CSF) will be calculated based on the Total Body Weight (TBW) of the population to be treated and the Total Water Consumption (TWC) of the population in 24 hours using the following formula: CSF (L) = [30xTBW (kg)]/[100xTWC (L))] per 1000 L medicated tank water. CAUTION! When using a dosing device, to avoid precipitation, do not use more than 5L of product per 100L of water. Do not set the dosing device below 2%.
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing. Ingestion of medicated water depends on the clinical condition of the animals. Ingestion of medicated water by animals may be impaired by the disease. In case of insufficient medicated water ingestion, the treatment schedule will be reviewed. Medicated water should be the only source of drinking water.
Medicated water can only be used for 24 hours and should be freshly prepared every day. If no improvement in clinical signs is observed during treatment, the diagnosis should be reviewed and the treatment changed.
Meat and offal:
Pigs 17 days
Chickens (broilers) 3 days
