CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS:

Use as the sole source of amprolium.

Do not change the litter while giving this feed unless absolutely necessary.
Losses may result from intercurrent disease or other conditions affecting drug intake which can contribute to the virulence of coccidiosis under field conditions.
In replacement flocks the grower must expect that excessive exposure to one or more species may overwhelm the drug in some flocks and prompt treatment will be required.
Fertility, hatchability and other reproductive data are not available on amprolium in breeding pheasants.
Do not use in feeds containing bentonite.
