ROMET

Federal law restricts medicated feed containing this veterinary feed directive (VFD) drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian

Sulfadidemthoxine 113.5 grams per pound (25%) ormetoprim 22.7 grams per pound (5%) in a carrier suitable for incorporation in feeds.

For control of furunculosis in freshwater-reared salmonids (trout and salmon) caused by Aeromonas salmonicida and of enteric septicemia of catfish caused by Edwardsiella ictaluri strains susceptible to the sulfadimethoxine and ormetoprim combination.

Establish the weight of fish to be treated and calculate the amount of feed needed per day according to fish size and water temperature.  Calculate the amount of Romet® 30 required for medicating the feed at the rate of 16.7 g of Romet®30 per 100 kg (7.6 g of Romet® 30/100 lbs) of fish body weight per day.

Medication of feed before pelletizing or extruding

Thoroughly mix the calculated amount of Romet® 30 into the mash feed prior to pelletizing or extruding.  Refer to the dosage table below for recommended levels of use.

Medication of feed after pelletizing

Prepare a liquid slurry by suspending Romet® 30 in a 5% gelatin solution.  Coat the pelleted fish feed with the slurry, which should be constantly agitated to ensure uniform suspension of the Romet® 30 during addition.  As a general rule, 10 gallons of gelatin solution is required to coat 2000 lb (1T) of pellets.  The coated pellets be allowed to dry prior to bagging.  Do NOT top dress pellets with Romet® 30 in a vegetable or fish oil suspension.

Administer medicated feed daily for five consecutive days to provide approximately 50 mg of active ingredients per kg (23 mg/lb) of live body of fish per day.

Store dry in closed bag at or below 25° C (77° F), excursions permitted to 37° C (99° F)

If fish show no improvement within 2 to 3 days, or if signs of disease reappear after termination of treatment, reevaluate management practices, diagnosis of outbreak and establish susceptibility of the bacterial isolate(s) to the drug.

Withdraw 42 days in freshwater-reared salmonids (trout and salmon) and 3 days in catfish before slaughter or release as stocker fish.

Labels for feeds containing Romet® 30 must contain appropriate indications, limitations and warnings as well as required feed ingredient information
