Administer by DEEP INTRAMUSCULAR means in all species.
It is suggested that the dose be divided and applied in separated places, not exceeding more than 20 ml. per applied point. In more than 50 kg. ovines it is suggested that the dose be divided and proceed as in the previous case. In pigs with less than 10 kg. apply by subcutaneous means beneath the ear; in animals with more than 10 kg. the application must be intramuscular.
