Mixing Directions

Broiler Chickens: Thoroughly mix 1 kg of Posistac 6% with 999 kg of complete feed to obtain a medicated feed with a salinomycin sodium concentration of 0.0060% (60 mg/kg). The medicated feed can be prepared in the form of meal or pellets.

Swine: Thoroughly mix 417 g of Posistac 6% with 1000 kg of complete feed to obtain a medicated feed with a salinomycin sodium concentration of 0.0025% (25 mg/kg). To ensure proper mixing, the premix should first be diluted in an intermediate blending step prior to adding to the final blend.

Steers and Feedlot Heifers¹:

Complete Diets: Medicated complete diets (complete feeds plus roughage calculated on a 100% dry matter basis) that will provide an approximation of the recommended dosage of 100 mg of salinomycin sodium per head per day, are to be prepared as per the following table:

To ensure proper mixing, the premix should first be diluted with grain concentrate or supplement in an intermediate blending step prior to adding to the final blend of complete diet.

Feed Supplements: Medicated feed supplements that will provide an approximation of the recommended dosage of 100 mg of salinomycin sodium per head per day, are to be prepared as per the following table:

The medicated supplement can be prepared in the form of meal or pellets. Thoroughly mix the medicated supplement in the total daily diet or in the grain portion of the ration before use. Do not feed undiluted.

^1.For feedlot heifers, salinomycin sodium must be fed concurrently with melengestrol acetate. Salinomycin sodium by itself is not effective in heifers.

Rabbit: Thoroughly mix 333g of Posistac 6% with 1000 kg of complete feed to obtain a medicated feed with a salinomycin concentration of 0.0020% (20mg/kg.

FEEDING DIRECTIONS:

Broiler Chickens: The medicated feed is to be fed continuously as the sole ration up to marketing.

Swine: The medicated feed is to be fed continuously as the sole ration from approximately 25 kg body weight to market weight.

Steers: The medicated feed is to be fed continuously to steers during their entire confinement period.

Feedlot Heifers: Feed the medicated feed containing melengestrol acetate and salinomycin sodium to beef heifers 220 kg and over being fed for slaughter such that each animal receiving 0.40 mg melengestrol acetate and 100 mg salinomycin sodium per head per day.

Rabbit: The medicated feed is to be fed continuously as the sole ration.
