NOTE: Make a cattle stock solution by adding 1 packet of Sulfadimethoxine Soluble Powder to 1 gallon of water.
**This dosage recommendation is based on a water consumption rate of 1 gallon per 100lb of body weight per day, the expected water consumption rate for summer. Water consumption during cold months (winter) may drop markedly (30-40%). Accordingly, adjustments must be made in the dilution rates to compensate for this and unsure proper drug intake.
For treatment of individual cattle, Sulfadimethoxine Soluble Powder stock solution for cattle may be given as a drench.
Twenty fl.oz. of cattle stock solution will medicate one-600lb animal initially or two-600lb animals on a maintenance dose. Contents of packet will medicate six-600lb animals initially or twelve-600lb animals on a maintenance dose.
During treatment period, make certain that animals maintain adequate water intake.
If animals show no improvement within 2 or 3 days, re-evaluate diagnosis. Treatment should not be continued beyond 5 days.
