Mixing Directions

This product should be further diluted in an intermediate blending step prior to mixing in the final feed.

Do not feed undiluted.

1. Complete Feed

a. Intermediate blending: Mix 1 part of Bovatec 91 (Type A Medicated Article) with 17 parts of finely ground non-medicated feedstuffs to provide an intermediate preblend containing 5 grams of lasalocid per pound.

b. Using the 5 g/lb intermediate preblend, the following table would apply to the manufacture of complete feeds:

Intended lasalocid concentration in the complete feed		Add the following amounts of 5 grams per pound intermediate preblend per ton of complete feed mixed:
grams/ton	mg/lb	lbs/ton
10	5	2
15	7.5	3
30*	15	6

* Maximum approved concentration for complete feeds for cattle fed in confinement for slaughter and sheep in confinement

c. Using the 5 g/lb intermediate preblend, the following table would apply to the manufacture of other complete feeds and supplements that do not require further mixing:

Daily feeding rate	Desired daily lasalocid intake	Add the following amounts of 5 grams per pound intermediate preblend per ton of feed or supplement mixed:	Lasalocid will be present in the feed or supplement at the following concentrations:
lbs/head/day	mg/head/day	lbs/ton	grams/ton
1	60	24	120
	200	80	400
	300	120	600
2	60	12	60
	200	40	200

3	60	8	40
	200	26.7	133.5
	300	40	200

2. Dry Supplement

a. Intermediate blending: Mix 1 part Bovatec 91 Type A Medicated Article with 3.5 parts of finely ground non-medicated feedstuffs to provide an intermediate preblend containing 20 grams of lasalocid per pound. For example, mix one 50 lb bag of Bovatec 91 Type A Medicated Article with 175 lbs of non-medicated feedstuffs.

b. Using the 20 g/lb intermediate preblend, the following table would apply to the manufacture of dry supplements:

Intended lasalocid concentration in the supplement		Add the following amounts of 20 grams per pound intermediate preblend per ton of supplement mixed:
grams/ton	mg/lb	lbs/ton
400	200	20
600	300	30
1000	500	50
1440	720	72
1600	800	80

c. Thoroughly mix supplement with sufficient non-medicated feedstuffs in accordance with the feeding rates listed in the use directions below.

3. Liquid Supplement Intended for Addition to Dry Feeds

a. Supplements with suspending agent(s) should be in a pH range of 4-8 and maintain physical stability for up to three months with a viscosity not less than 300 cps.

b. Conventional liquid supplements should be in a pH range of 4-8.

For liquid feeds stored in recirculating tank systems: Recirculate immediately prior to use for no less than 10 minutes, moving not less than 1 percent of the tank contents per minute from the bottom of the tank to the top. Recirculate daily as described even when not used.

For liquid feeds stored in mechanical, air, or other agitation-type tank systems: Agitate immediately prior to use for not less than 10 minutes, creating a turbulence at the bottom of the tank that is visible at the top. Agitate daily as described even when not used.

Use directions

Species	Dose	Indications for use
Cattle Fed in Confinement for Slaughter	10-30 grams lasalocid per ton of total ration (90% dry matter)	For improved feed efficiency in cattle fed in confinement for slaughter, feed continuously to provide not less than 100 mg nor more than 360 mg per head per day.
Cattle Fed in Confinement for Slaughter	25-30 grams lasalocid per ton of total ration (90% dry matter)	For improved feed efficiency and increased rate of weight gain in cattle fed in confinement for slaughter, feed continuously to provide not less than 250 mg nor more than 360 mg per head per day.
Pasture Cattle - slaughter, stocker, feeder, cattle, and dairy and beef replacement heifers	60-300 mg lasalocid per head/day	For increased rate of weight gain. The drug must be contained in at least 1 pound of feed and fed continuously on a daily basis.
