1 g of product contains Florfenicol 40 mg.
Pigs
For the treatment and prevention (in populations where the diagnosis has been confirmed) of diseases caused by florfenicol-susceptible germs and those associated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, Pasteurella multocida.
Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients. Do not use in hogs for reproduction.
In pigs, during treatment, 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.
The product is administered orally by incorporation into fodder.
Pigs - Administer a dose of 15 mg active substance/kg body weight/day (equivalent 0.35 Florcrid 40 mg/g premix/kg body weight/day), for 5 consecutive days. The amount of Florcrid 40 mg/g premix (CF) will be calculated based on the Total Body Weight (TBW) of the population to be treated and the Total Fodder Consumption (TFC) of the population in 24 hours using the following formula: CF (Kg/T) = [15xTBW(kg)]/[40xTFC(kg)] per 1000 kg of fodder. 15 = dose (mg)/kg bw; 40 = mg florfenicol/1 g Florcrid 40 mg/g premix. The maximum incorporation rate is 12.5 kg/tonne (500 ppm florfenicol). Higher incorporation rates may reduce the palatability of the fodder and lower fodder consumption. To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing. The consumption of medicated fodder depends on the clinical condition of the animals. Medicated fodder must be the only source of feed. If no improvement in clinical signs is observed during treatment, the diagnosis should be reviewed and the treatment changed.
