Doxybiotic Plus is a high-strength, water-soluble veterinary powder formulated with Doxycycline Hydrochloride ($\text{75 g/kg}$) for the flock treatment of Psittacosis (Ornithosis) and susceptible bacterial infections in pigeons and cage birds.

Composition and Action:

• Active Ingredient: Contains Doxycycline Hydrochloride, a tetracycline-class antibiotic recognized for its efficacy against Chlamydophila psittaci and Mycoplasma species, which are common causes of avian respiratory disease.

• Supportive Formula: The powder is supplemented with essential $\text{B}$-complex Vitamins, Vitamin $\text{A}$, Vitamin $\text{E}$, Vitamin $\text{K}$, Lactose, and Dextrose to provide metabolic support and minimize recovery time during the antibiotic course.

Administration and Veterinary Use:

• Target Group: Intended for simultaneous treatment of an entire flock via the birds' drinking water or soft food.

• Indications: Primary use is for the control and treatment of clinical and sub-clinical Psittacosis/Ornithosis, which can severely impact the performance of racing pigeons. It is also effective against various secondary bacterial infections.

• Protocol Consideration: Treatment protocols often require an extended duration ($\text{20}$ to $\text{40}$ days) in confirmed Psittacosis cases. It is standard veterinary practice to administer probiotics concurrently to maintain gut flora.

• Interference Warning: The product necessitates the removal of all calcium- and grit-containing supplements during treatment to prevent binding of the Doxycycline and ensure optimal drug absorption.
