Composition :
Chlortetracycline 200g (20 %) per kg.
Dosage and administration :
For oral administration after incorporation in complete feed. To ensure thorough dispersal, Phenix CTC 20% (25kg) should be first mixed with 25 kg feed ingredients before incorporation in the final mix. Included in feed at a rate of 1,5-2 kg/ton of complete feed to supply the equivalent of 300-400 ppm dietary chlortetracycline.
Swine: Include Phenix CTC 20% (25kg) in the feed to provide a dose of 20 mg chlortetracycline per kg body mass daily. This can generally be achieved by adding 2 kg Phenix CTC 20% (25kg) per ton of complete feed. This may be increased up to 6 kg per ton of complete feed at a veterinary surgeon’s discretion to ensure adequate dosing of inappetence animals.
Fowls: The recommended dose is 20-60 mg chlortetracycline per kg body mass daily. This can generally be achieved by adding 1,5-2 kg Phenix CTC 20% (25kg) per ton of complete feed. This constitutes an average dose, but dosage levels may be varied between 100 ppm and 500 ppm according to the nature of and severity of infection, feed intake in relation to body mass and the appetite of diseased animals.
Treatment is recommended for 5-7 days for pigs, fowl, cattle and calves. Allow treated pigs, fowl, cattle and calves access only to medicated feed during treatment.
