Lyncoo 400 mg/g powder for use in drinking water for pigs and chickens

In drinking water use.

The recommended dosage rates are:

Pigs:
Enzootic pneumonia: 10 mg lincomycin per kg of body weight (corresponding to 25 mg veterinary
medicinal product per kg bodyweight) for 21 consecutive days.

Chickens:
Necrotic enteritis: 5 mg lincomycin per kg of body weight (corresponding to 12.5 mg veterinary
medicinal product per kg bodyweight) for 7 consecutive days.

To ensure a correct dosage, body weights should be determined as accurately as possible.
The intake of medicated water depends on the clinical condition of the animals. In order to obtain the
correct dosage, the concentration of lincomycin may need to be adjusted accordingly.
The use of suitably calibrated weighing equipment is recommended. The uptake of water should be
monitored frequently.

Based on the recommended dose and the number and weight of animals to be treated, the exact daily
concentration of the veterinary medicinal product should be calculated according to the following
formula:
 mg veterinary medicinal
 product / kg body weight per             average body weight (kg) of
 day                                X     animals to be treated
                                                                              = mg of veterinary
                                                                           medicinal product per litre
                  average daily water intake (L/animal)                       of drinking water

Complete dissolution of the veterinary medicinal product should be ensured.
The maximum solubility of the veterinary medicinal product in soft/hard water is 50 g/L at 20°C and
15 g/L at 5°C.
For stock solutions and when using a proportioner, take care not to exceed the maximum solubility
which can be achieved under the given conditions. Adjust the flow rate setting of the dosing pump
according to concentration of the stock solution and water intake of the animals to be treated.
The medicated water should be the only source of drinking water for the animals for the entire
duration of the treatment period.
The daily amount is to be added to the drinking water in such a way that all medication will be consumed
within 24 hours. Medicated drinking water should be freshly prepared every 24 hours. No other source
of drinking water should be available.
After the end of the medication period, the water supply system should be cleaned appropriately to
avoid intake of sub-therapeutic amounts of the active substance.
