Treating Coccidiosis with Corid, Amprol, AmproMed
The Correct Amprolium Dose
Treatment | 20% Powder | 9.6% Liquid |
For 3-5 days | 1.5 teaspoons per gallon | 2 teaspoons per gallon |
then for 7-14 days | 1/3 teaspoon per gallon | 1/2 teaspoon per gallon |
When treating coccidisosis in my own birds I use the 0.024% severe outbreak dose for 5 days, then the 0.006% amount for 7-14 days. Since I use the liquid, I use 2 teaspoons per gallon for five days, then 1/2 teaspoon for 7-14 days.
The FDA, FARAD, and the mfg's say this:
"Administer at 0.012% in drinking water as soon as coccidiosis is diagnosed and continue for 3 days to 5 days (in severe outbreaks, give 0.024%); continue with 0.006% amprolium medicated water for an additional 1 week to 2 weeks. No other source of drinking water should be available to the birds during this time."
