Amoxinsol 50% w/w Powder for Oral Solution

Chickens, turkeys and ducks
The product is administered in the drinking water. Prepare the solution with fresh
tap water immediately before use. Once opened, use the contents of one sachet
immediately. Any unused medicated water should be discarded after 12 hours.
In order to ensure consumption of the medicated water, animals should not have
access to other water supplies whilst being treated.
The following formula may be used to calculate the amount of product required per
day (in grams):
Number of birds x average live weight (kg)
25 (for 20 mg/kg) or 33 (for 15 mg/kg)
To ensure a correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as
possible to avoid underdosing. The uptake of medicated water depends on the
clinical condition of the birds. In order to obtain the correct dosage the
concentration of amoxicillin has to be adjusted taking into account water intake.
Chickens:
The recommended dosage is 15 mg amoxicillin trihydrate per kg bodyweight.
The total period of treatment should be for 3 days or in severe cases for 5 days.

Ducks:
Recommended dosage is 20 mg amoxicillin trihydrate/kg bodyweight for 3
consecutive days.
Turkeys:
Recommended dosage is 15-20 mg amoxicillin trihydrate/kg bodyweight for 3 days
or in severe cases for 5 days.
Pigs:

water or administered by addition to liquid feeds produced with commercial feed. It
may not be used in dry feeds.
1. Administration via the drinking water
a. Administer in the drinking water to give 20mg/kg bodyweight daily.

hourly intervals for up to 5 days. Dissolve the contents of one sachet
(150g of the product) in the requisite quantity of water immediately
before use. Alternatively, 750g or 2.5kg packs may be measured
using the 100ml scoop provided. This scoop when levelled will
deliver 67g of product, three scoopfuls therefore delivering 200g.

i. Any medicated water which is not consumed within 12 hours
should be discarded.
ii. In order to ensure consumption of the medicated water, animals
should not have access to other water supplies whilst on
treatment
1. Administration in liquid feed
a. Administer in the liquid feed, to give 20mg amoxicillin trihydrate/kg
bodyweight 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.
b. Medicated liquid feed should be prepared with fresh potable water.
c. Dissolve the required amount of Amoxinsol 50 in water at a rate of
25g/L before addition to the feed. This may be done by dissolving the
contents of one sachet (150g of the product) in approximately 6L of
water immediately before use. Alternatively, 750g or 2.5kg packs
may be measured using the 100 ml scoop provided. This scoop
when levelled will deliver 67g of product which should be dissolved in
approximately 2.5L of water immediately before use.
d. 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.
e. The medicated liquid feed should not be fermented and should not
be stored.
f. 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.
i. Any medicated liquid feed which is not consumed within 4 hours
should be discarded
ii. 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.
