Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to the active substance.

Do not administer to boars intended for breeding.

 

ADVERSE REACTIONS

In pigs, the following side effects may occur during treatment: perianal and rectal erythema / edema, transient diarrhea, constipation with dark brown stools. These reactions are transient and reversible.

 

DOSAGE FOR EACH SPECIES, ROUTE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION

To be administered orally, in feeding stuffs.

Pigs: a dose of 15 mg  active substance / kg body weight / day,  (equivalent to 0.35 g product / kg body weight / day), for 5 consecutive days.

The amount of Florcrid 40 mg / g (AF) will be calculated based on the Total Body Weight (TBW) of the herd to be treated and the Total Feed Consumption (TFC) of the herd in 24 hours using the formula:

 

 per 1000 kg feed

 

15 = dose (mg)/ kg b.w./day.

40 = mg of florfenicol/1 g Florcrid 40 mg/g  premix 

The maximum incorporation rate is 12.5 kg / ton (500 ppm of florfenicol). Higher incorporation rates can lead to poor palatability and decreased food consumption.

 

ADVICE ON CORRECT ADMINISTRATION

To ensure a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid under-dosing. The intake of medicated premix depends on the clinical condition of the animals.

The medicated feeding stuff should be the only source of food.

If no improvement in clinical signs is observed during treatment, the diagnosis should be reviewed and treatment modified.

 

WITHDRAWAL PERIOD
