Ivomec Premix for Swine Dosage and Administration
MIXING AND FEEDING DIRECTIONS FOR WEANED/GROWING/FINISHING PIGS
Add IVOMEC Premix (Type A Medicated Article) to starter, grower and finisher feeds at 300 g per ton to supply 1.8 g ivermectin per ton (2 ppm) of feed.
Use this Type C Medicated Feed as the only feed ad libitum for 7 consecutive days. This provides approximately 0.1 mg ivermectin per kg (2.2 lb) of body weight per day.
MIXING AND FEEDING DIRECTIONS FOR ADULT AND BREEDING ANIMALS
The recommended dose level for breeding animals is 0.1 mg ivermectin/kg body weight daily for seven consecutive days. Add IVOMEC Premix (Type A Medicated Article) to complete feed at 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) per ton to supply 9.1 g ivermectin per ton (10 ppm) of feed. Feed this Type C Medicated Feed at the rate of 1 lb (454 g) per 100 lb of body weight daily for seven consecutive days. On a daily basis, any additional non-medicated feed should not be given until the medicated feed is consumed. For heavy animals being fed less than 1% of their body weight per day, the ivermectin level in the Type C Medicated Feed can be up to 11.8 g per ton.
As sow feeding practices vary during the different phases of their reproductive cycle (i.e., limited feeding during gestation and ad libitum during lactation), the inclusion rate of ivermectin per ton of complete feed can be adjusted accordingly to obtain the 0.1 mg/kg treatment level.
As an example, the following inclusion rates for IVOMEC Premix w/w (Type A Medicated Article) based on body weight and feed intake are determined by the formula.
| average body weight (lb) | = lb of IVOMEC Premix (Type A Medicated Article) per ton of feed |
| average daily intake (lb) per head X 30 |
