Administer orally.
Cattle and sheep - 7.5 mg levamisole/kg body weight, a single administration equivalent to 0.15 mL Levavermin/kg body weight, without exceeding the total dose of 3.75 g levamisole (i.e., 75 mL Levavermin) in cattle and 0.375 g levamisole (7.5 mL Levavermin) in sheep. Pigs - 7.5 mg levamisole/kg body weight, a single administration equivalent to 0.15 mL Levavermin/kg body weight, without exceeding the total dose of 0.75 g levamisole (i.e., 15 mL Levavermin).
Broilers - 20 mg levamisol/kg body weight, about 4 mL Levavermin per L of drinking water.
To ensure a correct dose, the body weight of the animals should be accurately determined, whenever possible, to avoid underdosing.

Some precautions to avoid the following practices should be taken, because they may increase the risk of developing resistance and, implicitly, decreasing the inefficiency of treatment: too frequent and repeated use of antihelmintics in the same class over a prolonged period of time; underdosing, which may be due to an underestimation of body mass, misuse of the product or non-calibration of the dosing device (if any). All suspicious clinical cases of anthelmintic resistance should be further investigated using appropriate tests (e.g., OPG). Where tests clearly suggest resistance to a particular anthelmintic, another one shall be used, from a pharmacological class with a different mode of action.
