(gentamicin sulfate)
Soluble Powder
Antibacterial

CAUTION: Federal (USA) law restricts this drug to use
by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

For Swine Drinking Water Only.

DESCRIPTION: Each gram of GEN-GARD Soluble Powder contains gentamicin sulfate
equivalent to 333.33 mg gentamicin base.

RESIDUE WARNING: Swine treated with the recommended dose of
GEN-GARD Soluble Powder must not be slaughtered for food for at least ten
(10) days following the last treatment.

INDICATIONS: GEN-GARD Soluble Powder is recommended for the control and treatment
of colibacillosis in weanling swine caused by strains of E. coli sensitive to gentamicin
and for the control and treatment of swine dysentery associated with Brachyspira
hyodysenteriae.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: GEN-GARD Soluble Powder is available in a 360 gram
jar. The 360 gram jar contains a scoop that provides approximately 18 grams of product
when level full.

For Control and Treatment of Colibacillosis - Administer GEN-GARD Soluble Powder in
drinking water at the recommended level of 25 mg per gallon (1 scoop/240 gallons) for
three consecutive days.

For Control and Treatment of Swine Dysentery - Administer GEN-GARD Soluble Powder in
drinking water at the recommended level of 50 mg per gallon (1 scoop/120 gallons) for
three consecutive days.

The concentration of the medication should be adjusted in extremely hot or cold
weather to ensure a gentamicin dosage of approximately 0.5 mg/lb/day for 3 days for
colibacillosis or 1.0 mg/lb/day for 3 days for swine dysentery. A 50-lb pig will, under
average conditions, consume 0.9 gallon of water per day.

For swine dysentery, if the condition recurs, the medication may be repeated. Because
of the tendency for the disease to recur on a premise with a history of swine dysentery,
a control program should be used following treatment.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: To prepare medicated water, mix GEN-GARD Soluble Powder and
drinking water according to the following tables:

Proportioner Use:
For Control and Treatment of Colibacillosis
   Add 18 g (1 scoop) GEN-GARD to 2 gallons of water to make stock solution and
   dispense at the rate of one ounce per gallon of drinking water. This will result in
   drinking water that contains 25 mg/gallon.

For Control and Treatment of Swine Dysentery
   Add 18 g (1 scoop) GEN-GARD to 1 gallon of water to make stock solution and
   dispense at the rate of one ounce per gallon of drinking water. This will result in
   drinking water that contains 50 mg/gallon.

Bulk Preparation:
For Control and Treatment of Colibacillosis
   Add 18 g (1 scoop) GEN-GARD to 240 gallons of water.

For Control and Treatment of Swine Dysentery
   Add 18 g (1 scoop) GEN-GARD to 120 gallons of water.

3 consecutive days.
