Because of the variable water intake of ducks, depending on temperature, light and feeding regime, exact recommendation on dilution of the product cannot be given. In each case the quantities of Amoxinsol 50 to be used must be calculated taking into account the water intake and total bodyweight of the birds involved. Dissolve the contents of one sachet (150g of the product) in the requisite quantity of water immediately before use. Alternatively, 750g or 2.5kg packs may be measured using the 100ml scoop provided. This scoop when levelled will deliver 67g of product, three scoopfuls therefore delivering 200g.

b. For administration via the drinking water, the solution should be prepared with fresh potable water.
i. Any medicated water which is not consumed within 12 hours should be discarded.
ii. In order to ensure consumption of the medicated water, animals should not have access to other water supplies whilst on treatment
Administration in liquid feed
a. Administer in the liquid feed, to give 20mg amoxicillin trihydrate/kg bodyweight daily for up to 5 days. Medicated feed should be freshly prepared on at least 3 occasions per day over the treatment period. The daily dose should be calculated based on the number of animals and average weight and then divided by the number of feed lots prepared in the day.
b. Medicated liquid feed should be prepared with fresh potable water.
c. Dissolve the required amount of Amoxinsol 50 in water at a rate of 25g/L before addition to the feed. This may be done by dissolving the contents of one sachet (150g of the product) in approximately 6L of water immediately before use. Alternatively, 750g or 2.5kg packs may be measured using the 100ml scoop provided. This scoop when levelled will deliver 67g of product which should be dissolved in approximately 2.5L of water immediately before use.
d. After adding the product to some or all of the water needed to make the liquid feed, ensure the product is fully dissolved. Dissolution of the product can take up to 10 minutes. This medicated water can then be mixed with the dry complete meal and if appropriate, the remaining water. The system used should ensure that the medicated water is evenly distributed into the feed. Once prepared the final medicated liquid feed should be fed to the pigs immediately.
e. The medicated liquid feed should not be fermented and should not be stored.
f. Stability of amoxicillin in all commercial feeds has not been established. In order to ensure that any loss of amoxicillin activity is minimized, the quantity of medicated liquid feed prepared should not exceed the amount of feed which will be consumed within 4 hours.
i. Any medicated liquid feed which is not consumed within 4 hours should be discarded
ii. Although restricted access to other water supplies would help ensure medicated liquid feed is consumed, separate clean potable water should remain available at all times for welfare reasons.

Amoxicillin is a bacterial semisynthetic penicillin with a broad spectrum of activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. It owes its activity to the inhibition of the development of the peptidogylcan network structure in the bacterial cell wall.
Amoxicillin is well absorbed following oral administration and it is stable in the presence of gastric acids. Excretion of amoxicillin is mainly in the unchanged form via the kidneys to give high concentration in renal tissue and urine. Amoxicillin is well distributed in body fluids.
Studies in birds have indicated that amoxicillin is distributed and eliminated more rapidly than in mammals. Biotransformation appeared a more important route of elimination in birds than in mammals.
