Example: Calculation of dosage of Enterotrophotic
Initial stocking | 100,000 |
Survival | 70% ie. 70,000 animals |
Enterotrophotic needed for 10,000 animals for 0-70 days | 50ml per day |
Enterotrophotic needed for 70,000 animals for 0-70 days | (50/10,000) x 70,000 = 350ml per day |
Enterotrophotic needed for 10,000 animals for 70- 120 days | 100 ml per day |
Enterotrophotic needed for 70,000 animals for 70- 120days | (100/10,000) x 70,000 = 700 ml per day |
