Avatec (lasalocid) is an antibiotic feed additive used to prevent coccidiosis in poultry and some game birds.

INDICATIONS

• Broiler/Fryer Chickens: Prevention of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria tenella, E. necatrix, E. acervulina, E. brunetti, E. mivati, and E. maxima.
• Growing Turkeys: Prevention of coccidiosis caused by E. adenoeides, E. meleagrimitis, and E. gallopavonis.
• Minor Species: Prevention of coccidiosis in chukar partridges (E. legionensis), and generally in rabbits and other minor avian species (pheasants, quail).
• Performance: Increases the rate of weight gain and improves feed efficiency in broiler chickens. 

ADMINISTRATION

• Typically mixed into feed, with dosages commonly ranging from 75–125 mg lasalocid sodium per kg of complete feed.
• Poultry (Broilers/Turkeys): Mix thoroughly into feed at a rate of 68 g to 113 g of lasalocid per ton of feed (0.0075% to 0.0125% concentration). Feed continuously as the only ration.
• Rabbits: Administer in feed at a concentration of 113 g/ton for rabbits up to 6 1/2 weeks of age.
• Cattle: Administer in feed or medicated feed blocks, aiming for a 200 mg lasalocid sodium per head per day dosage.
• Mixing Precautions: When adding less than one pound of the Type A medicated article per ton of feed, it is recommended to pre-mix the Avatec with a small amount of feed (10-25 lbs) before blending it into the final batch.
