Cautions:
- Use as the sole source of amprolium.
- Do not change the litter while giving this feed unless absolutely necessary.
- If losses exceed 0.5% in a 2-day period, obtain an accurate diagnosis, and follow the instructions of your veterinarian or poultry pathologist.
- Losses may result from intercurrent disease or other conditions affecting drug intake which can contribute to the virulence of coccidiosis under field conditions.
- Do not use in feeds containing bentonite.
