Ampro-50 Oral Solution Vet 100ml

Ampro-50 Oral Solution Vet 100ml is a veterinary medication designed to treat and prevent coccidiosis in animals, particularly poultry. Coccidiosis is a parasitic infection caused by Eimeria species, which affects the gastrointestinal tract of birds and other animals. This solution contains Amprolium, an anti-coccidial agent that helps control the growth of coccidia parasites, thereby reducing the severity of the infection and preventing its spread.

Product Description:

• Product Name: Ampro-50 Oral Solution Vet
• Volume: 100ml
• Formulation: Oral solution
• Active Ingredient: Amprolium (50%)
• Species: Primarily used in poultry (chickens, turkeys) but can also be used for other animals as recommended by a veterinarian.

Indications:

• Prevention and Treatment of Coccidiosis: Ampro-50 is used to prevent and treat coccidiosis caused by Eimeria species in poultry. Coccidiosis can cause diarrhea, poor weight gain, and sometimes death in infected animals.
• Reduction of Infections: The solution helps reduce the spread of coccidia and minimizes the impact of the infection on overall flock health.
• Improved Feed Conversion: By controlling coccidia and preventing intestinal damage, Ampro-50 contributes to better feed conversion and improved overall health and performance of poultry.

Mechanism of Action:

• Amprolium works by inhibiting the absorption of thiamine (Vitamin B1) in coccidia parasites. Thiamine is essential for the parasite’s growth and reproduction. By blocking this process, Amprolium prevents the development of the parasites, reducing their numbers in the animal’s gastrointestinal tract.

Dosage and Administration:

• Dosage: The recommended dosage of Ampro-50 Oral Solution Vet will depend on the species and the severity of the infection. Generally, it is administered via drinking water.
  • Poultry: Typically, the dosage is 0.5 ml per liter of drinking water for 5 days. For severe infections, the treatment duration may be extended as directed by the veterinarian.
• Administration:
  • The solution is typically mixed with the bird’s drinking water to ensure that all animals in the flock receive the correct dose.
  • Ensure the medicated water is the only source of drinking water during the treatment period.
  • Continue the medication as recommended by the veterinarian or until symptoms subside.

Benefits:

• Prevention of Coccidiosis: Regular use of Ampro-50 can help prevent outbreaks of coccidiosis in poultry farms, especially in young chicks and during stressful conditions.
• Effective Treatment: When coccidiosis is present, Ampro-50 effectively reduces the severity of symptoms and helps the animal recover faster.
• Economic Impact: By controlling coccidia infections, Ampro-50 helps prevent losses due to reduced growth, poor feed conversion, and high mortality rates associated with coccidiosis.
• Safe and Easy Administration: The oral solution is easy to administer through drinking water, making it convenient for large flocks.

Precautions:

• Consult a Veterinarian: Always consult with a veterinarian before using Ampro-50 to ensure it is appropriate for your animals and to determine the correct dosage based on the specific circumstances.
• Do Not Overdose: Follow the recommended dosage carefully to avoid potential overdosing, which may cause adverse effects.
• Monitor Water Intake: Ensure that all animals are drinking the medicated water to ensure they receive the correct dosage. If water intake is reduced, consult a veterinarian.
• Avoid Long-Term Use: Amprolium should not be used as a long-term solution. Prolonged or excessive use may lead to reduced effectiveness or potential resistance.

Side Effects:

• Generally Safe: Ampro-50 is usually well-tolerated in poultry when used as directed. However, if overdosed or misused, it may lead to mild gastrointestinal disturbances.
• Signs of Overdose: Symptoms of overdose may include reduced appetite, lethargy, or changes in drinking behavior. If these signs occur, stop treatment and contact a veterinarian.

Contraindications:

• Do Not Use in Egg-Laying Poultry: Amprolium should not be used in laying hens or poultry producing eggs for human consumption, unless explicitly recommended by a veterinarian.
• Not for Use in Dehydrated or Weak Animals: If the animals are dehydrated or weakened due to disease, it’s best to consult with a veterinarian before administering Ampro-50.

Storage:

• Storage Conditions: Store Ampro-50 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
• Temperature Range: Store between 2°C to 25°C (36°F to 77°F). Do not freeze the solution.
