Level of medicating ingredient in a complete feed

1,250 mg/kg (0.125%) of morantel tartrate in the complete feed.

Directions for use in a complete feed

This medicated feed is to be fed at the rate of 1 kg per 100 kg body weight. Optimum results are obtained by fasting animals overnight prior to treatment. Provide sufficient trough space to allow each animal to obtain the full amount of medication. When medicated feed is consumed, resume normal feeding. Water should be available during the fasting and treatment periods.

Notes (required to appear on medicated feed labels)

  1. A microscopic fecal examination should be performed by a veterinarian or diagnostic laboratory prior to worming for a diagnosis as to the presence of gastrointestinal parasitism.
  2. Pigs maintained under conditions of constant worm exposure may require retreatment within 2 to 3 weeks after the first treatment due to reinfection.

Warning

  1. Treated animals must not be slaughtered for use in food for at least 30 days after the latest treatment with this drug.

Caution

  1. Consult a veterinarian before using in severely debilitated animals.

Directions for use in a complete feed

This medicated feed is to be fed at the rate of 0.1 kg per 100 kg of body weight. Optimum results are obtained by fasting cattle overnight and then feeding the calculated amount of medicated feed the following morning by thoroughly mixing it with one-half of the daily regular ration. Resume normal feeding when the medicated feed is all consumed. Separate cattle by size into different pens for treatment. Sufficient trough space must be provided so that each animal obtains the full amount of medication that is required for proper dosage. Water should be available to cattle during the fasting and treatment periods.

Notes (required to appear on medicated feed labels):

  1. A microscopic fecal examination should be performed by a veterinarian or diagnostic laboratory prior to worming for a diagnosis as to the presence of gastrointestinal parasitism.
  2. For Ostertagia infections, treatment should be repeated at 2 to 3 week intervals to remove those mature parasites that survived previous treatment in an immature stage.

Warning

Caution

  1. Consult a veterinarian before using in severely debilitated animals.
