Comparison between two dosage regimens of enrofloxacin given in drinking water for treatment of induced air sacculitis in chicks

Response to treatment of induced air sacculitis by a pathogenic strain of E coli with enrofloxacin when it was given by the recommended therapeutic concentration (50 mg/ml) for 3 days in drinking water was compared with the method of giving the same drug at double the above concentration for one ti...
