Therefore estimate the total number of pounds of body weight of animals to be treated and administer one (1) packet (or portion thereof) for each 7,150 pounds.

Pigs Body Weight                              Number of Neosol Packets

25 to 50 lbs.                                               2 packets

Over 100 lbs.                                             4 packets

Caution:

To administer the stated dosage, the concentration of neomycin required in medicated water must be adjusted to compensate for variation in age and weight of animal, the nature and severity of disease signs, and environmental temperature and humidity, each of which affects water consumption. If symptoms persist after using this preparation for 2 or 3 days, consult a veterinarian. If symptoms such as fever, depression or going off feed develop, oral neomycin is not indicated as the sole treatment since systemic levels of neomycin are not obtained due to low absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

Important:

Treatment should continue 24 to 48 hours beyond remission of disease symptoms, but not to exceed a total of 14 consecutive days. Animals not drinking or eating should be treated individually by drench.

WARNING:

Discontinue treatment prior to slaughter as follows:

Cattle and Goats – 30 days

Swine and Sheep – 20 days
(Not to be used in veal calves)
