I’m currently facing a coccidiosis outbreak in my flock, and I’ve been looking into using Corid (amprolium) as a treatment. I want to make sure I’m using the right dosage to effectively treat my chickens.
Key Questions:
- What is the recommended dosage of Corid for different age groups of chickens?
- Does the severity of the outbreak change the dosage?
- How should I adjust the dosage based on the concentration of the solution I have?
General Guidelines:
From what I’ve gathered, the standard dosage for Corid in drinking water is often around 0.0125% to 0.025% for prevention and a higher concentration for treatment in severe cases. However, I’m not sure how to translate this into practical terms, especially for my chicks versus adult birds.
Factors to Consider:
- Chickens’ Age/Weight: I’ve seen that younger chickens might require a different dosage than older ones. What’s the best approach here?
- Type of Coccidiosis: Are there different types that require varying treatments? And how do I identify them?
Practical Recommendations:
Based on your experiences:
- How often should I change the medicated water?
- Are there signs I should watch for to gauge if the dosage is effective?
- Should I consult a vet before starting treatment?
I appreciate any insights or tips you can offer on this matter! Ensuring the health of my flock is my top priority, and I’d love to hear how you handle medication for coccidiosis. Thank you!
