To control a necrotic enteritis outbreak, start medication at the first clinical signs of disease. The dosage range permitted provides for different levels based on severity of the infection. Consult a poultry diagnostic laboratory or pathologist to determine the diagnosis and advice regarding the optimal level of drug. Administer continuously for 5 - 7 days or as long as clinical signs persist, and then reduce medication to prevention level (50 g/ton).

As an aid in control of transmissible enteritis in growing turkeys complicated by organisms susceptible to bacitracin methylene disalicylate.

Pheasants

4 - 50

For increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency.

Quail

5 - 20

For increased rate of weight gain and improved feed efficiency in quail not over 5 weeks of age.

For prevention of ulcerative enteritis in growing quail due to Clostridium colinum susceptible to bacitracin methylene disalicylate. Feed continuously as the sole ration.

Growing/ finishing swine

10 - 30
