For uses, contra-indications and warnings and other information, read the product datasheet. Further information is also available on request from the manufacturer (adjacent tab).
Dosage and administration
VETREMOX is given at the rate of 80mg/kg bodyweight. A ten day course of treatment is recommended.Vetremox is for administration only through the feed by mixing with manufactured feed prior to feeding.
Feeding rates will vary according to water temperature and it may therefore be more convenient to medicate on a basis of a fixed rate; e.g. 1% of bodyweight, with the extra daily feed requirement being met by unmedicated food.
The following inclusion rates will provide the recommended dose:
| Vetremox powder inclusion rate: | |||
| Daily feed rate % bodyweight | per 5 kg of feed | per 25 kg of feed | per tonne of feed |
| 0.5 | 80 g | 400 g | 16.0 kg |
| 1 | 40 g | 200 g | 8.0 kg |
| 2 | 20 g | 100 g | 4.0 kg |
To add powder to already manufactured feed, weigh out the appropriate amounts of fish pellets and Vetremox, using the table above as a guide. Once the food and Vetremox have been measured out, the two should be mixed in the dry state.
As an aid to the adhesion of Vetremox, edible oil or tepid gelatin solution is added to the food while mixing until the food is slightly dampened. The medicated food can then be allowed to dry before feeding to the fish.
For uses, contra-indications and warnings and other information, read the product datasheet. Further information is also available on request from the manufacturer (adjacent tab).
