*note

Make a cattle stock solution by adding 1 packet of Sulfadimethoxine Soluble Powder to 1 gal of water.

*Twenty fl oz of cattle stock solution will medicate 1 600-lb animal initially or 2 600-lb animals on maintenance dose. Contents of packet will medicate 6 600-lb animals initially or 12 600-lb animals on maintenance dose.

**This dosage recommendation is based on a water consumption of 1 gal per 100 lb of body weight per day, the expected water consumption rate for summer. Water consumption during cold months (winter) may drop markedly (30-40%). Accordingly, adjustments must be made in the dilution rates to compensate for this and insure proper drug intake.

For treatment of individual cattle, Sulfadimethoxine Soluble Powder stock solution for cattle may be given as a drench. Administer using same mg/lb dosage as outlined above.

Treatment Period: 5 Consecutive Days

Chickens and turkeys that have survived fowl cholera outbreaks should not be kept for replacements or breeders.
