AMPROL® 25%

(Medicated feed additive)

INDICATIONS

For prevention and treatment of coccidiosis in broilers, replacements, turkeys, layers and pheasants.

MODE OF ADMINISTRATION

Broilers: To an aid in the prevention of coccidiosis in broilers, use a medicated feed containing 0.0125% amprolium on a continuous basis. Where severe coccidiosis conditions exist use a feed containing amprolium at the rate of 0.025%. In situations where E. tenella is the major problem use an amprolium medicated feed at a rate of 0.008%-0.0125%.

Laying Hens: For the treatment of coccidiosis in layers, use a medicated feed containing 0.025% amprolium for two weeks in severe outbreaks or 0.0125% for two weeks in moderate outbreaks of coccidiosis. In situations where prevention is the objective, use a 0.0125% medicated feed continuously.

Turkeys: To an aid in the prevention of coccidiosis in turkeys, use a medicated feed containing 0.0125% amprolium on a continuous basis

Pheasants: To an aid in the prevention of coccidiosis in growing pheasants caused by E. colchici, E. duodenalis, and E. phasiani, use a medicated feed containing 0.0175% amprolium should be used on a continuous basis.

Replacements: Use to aid in the development of immunity or the prevention of coccidiosis in replacements. Where the development of immunity is not desired, use a medicated feed containing a level of 0.0125%-0.025% amprolium on a continuous basis from day one to the onset of production. In situations where immunity is desired use a medicated feed containing a level of 0.004%- 0.0125% fed continuously until the onset of production.

Selection of the correct level to be used should be based upon the comparative hazard of infection with cecal and intestinal species of coccidia. Higher levels will interfere with the development of immunity to E. tenella. The following are suggested feeding levels of amprolium for various conditions of coccidial exposure in replacements.

TARGET SPECIES

Broilers, replacements, turkeys, layers and pheasants.

WARNING

Use as the sole source of amprolium. Do not change the litter while using this feed unless absolutely necessary. If losses exceed 0.5% in a 2- day period, obtain an accurate diagnosis, and follow the instructions of your veterinarian or poultry pathologist. Losses may result from intercurrent disease or other conditions affecting drug intake, which can contribute to the virulence of coccidiosis under field conditions.

In replacement flocks the grower must expect that excessive exposure to one or more species of coccidia may overwhelm the drug in some flocks and prompt treatment will be required. Fertility, hatchability, and other reproductive data are not available for amprolium use in breeding pheasants. Do not use in feeds containing bentonite.
