Rocket Science ?

Bought some Dac 10% Ronidazole at Blackpool,instructions are what I would call vague ?

 

"2 measures(=2 gm) for 20 pigeons or 1 measure =1 gm". That's a good start a lesson in maths ?

"2 measuring spoons ( =2 gm ) for 20 pigeons (10 Kg live - weight) etc.etc. ?"

Simple question? answers in English/Scottish or any other language that is understandable. :emoticon-0138-thinking:

expletive remove.

How much to a litre of water or if you want for us old timers / pint ?

Thanks in anticipation for your replies.>>>>>>>> :emoticon-0137-clapping:

This maybe isnt much better.

 

How to use: 1-2 grams per 10 kg body weight (= approx. 20 - 25 pigeons), 1 - 2 grams of product per liter of water. - Preventive: 1 or 2 consecutive days, repeated every two weeks. Treatment: 5-7 consecutive days

Has Confucius say "hoh flip" or something like that.

[Wiley]

Maybe its talking about the difference in medication possibly in the summer and winter times dosage, i.e one measure in the summer, and 2 measures in the winter as the birds drink less

[Dmurray]

2 gram per 2 litre of water or 2 gram per 3.5 pints of water

Now I'll put the cat amongst the pigeons (so to speak)

 

Look at the dosage on the Belgavet Ronidazole 10% - totally different (5g per litre)

That is incorrect - wrong instructions listed - they've listed the same instructions on the 5%

 

So the correct instruction would be 5g to 2 litres - as in Medizole (a level teaspoon - but make sure it's a big teaspoon!!)

Probably I'm the last person that should be posting on this one as I'm HOPELESS with numbers, especially when they mix up volumn (litres) and weight (grammes).That's why I pay a vet to work out these volumn / weight measures for me!

 

The original formula given at least was all weight: 1-2 gms per 10kg and is obviously for a large animal, and not a bird. That works out at 2 parts per 10000.

 

A pigeon fancier colleague informed me that 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram. So 2 gms weighs 2 ml. So the formula is 2gms (2 parts of 10000 gms) per 10 litres (10000 ml (mililitres) ?

 

 

AND er, over how many days?

[greenlands]

So we take it it's two scoops ( 1gm each or in total 2gm ) to one litre of water

[Dmurray]

A level teaspoon is about 2 gram so one teaspoon to 2 litre

[greenlands]

A level teaspoon is about 2 gram so one teaspoon to 2 litre

There's a measure in the packet that says 1 gm.

1 scoop then per litre of water

[greenlands]

I think it's two scoops/litre ?

[William Reid]

For all of the powder treatments for pigeons I always mix the product 3g to 2 litres of water that has been boiled the previous night . When mixed and if I think it is to bitter will add another 1/2 liter.
