Posology and method of administration
In fish "COLIFLOX® oral" is used at a daily dose of 0.2 ml/kg bodyweight with granular feed once a day for 7 consecutive days. In salmon and sturgeon, 40 ml of the product is homogeneously mixed with 1 kg of feed and dried to the initial moisture content of the feed. The resulting mixture is fed to fish at the rate of 5 kg of the mixture per 1 ton of fish per day. In cyprinid fish, 20 ml of the product is homogeneously mixed with 1 kg of feed and dried to the initial moisture content of the feed. The resulting mixture is fed to fish at the rate of 10 kg of the mixture per 1 ton of fish per day.
Special warnings.
The timing of catching and using fish for food purposes after the end of the drug is calculated by dividing the degree-days (for cyprinid and sturgeon fish - 589, for salmon fish - 300) by the average water temperature in the reservoir.
Storage.
Store the drug in the manufacturer's packaging, in a dry place protected from direct sunlight at 5 to 25 ° C. The shelf life of the drug, when stored at the appropriate conditions, is 2 years.
