*Note: Make a cattle stock solution by adding 1 packet of Sulfadimethoxine Soluble Powder to 1 gal of water.

*Twenty fluid ounces of cattle stock solution will medicate one-600 lb animal initially or two-600 lb animals on maintenance dose. Contents of packet will medicate six-600 lb animals initially or twelve-600 lb animals on maintenance dose.

Chickens and turkeys that have survived fowl cholera outbreaks should not be kept for replacements or breeders.
