Pigs:
- For the medication of pigs, the product may be administered via the drinking water or administered by addition to liquid feeds produced with commercial feed. It may not be used in dry feeds.
Administration in drinking water
- Administer in the drinking water to give 20 mg amoxicillin trihydrate per kg bodyweight (corresponding to 40 mg product/kg bodyweight/day) daily for up to 5 days.
- Prepare the solution by carefully mixing the product in the requisite quantity of fresh potable water immediately before use.
- The dose should be administered at approximately 24 hourly intervals for up to 5 days.
- Any medicated water which is not consumed within 24 hours should be discarded and the medicated drinking water replenished.
- In order to ensure consumption of the medicated water, animals should not have access to other water supplies whilst being on treatment
Administration in liquid feed
- Administer in liquid feed to give 20 mg amoxicillin trihydrate per kg bodyweight (corresponding to 40 mg product/kg bodyweight/day) daily for up to 5 days.
- Medicated feed should be freshly prepared on at least 3 occasions per day over the treatment period.
- The daily dose should be calculated based on the number of animals and average weight and then divided by the number of feed lots prepared in the day.
- Medicated liquid feed should be prepared with fresh potable water. After adding the product to some or all of the water needed to make the liquid feed, ensure the product is fully dissolved. Dissolution of the product can take up to 10 minutes.
- This medicated water can then be mixed with the dry complete meal and if appropriate, the remaining water. The system used should ensure that the medicated water is evenly distributed into the feed.
- Once prepared the final medicated liquid feed should be fed to the pigs immediately.
- The medicated liquid feed should not be fermented and should not be stored.
- Stability of amoxicillin in all commercial feeds has not been established. In order to ensure that any loss of amoxicillin activity is minimized, the quantity of medicated liquid feed prepared should not exceed the amount of feed which will be consumed within 4 hours.
- Any medicated liquid feed which is not consumed within 4 hours should be discarded
- Although restricted access to other water supplies would help ensure medicated liquid feed is consumed, separate clean potable water should remain available at all times for welfare reasons.
