PC = Product category. 1: Maximum recommended dosage by the manufacturer (when animals are present). According to the instructions, in some products dose may be increased, whereas the evaluation of the optimal farm-specific dose is highly encouraged. For the products for which data were available, we included the percentage of the concentrations of individual compounds. It is important to note that all the products may contain additional proprietary ingredients used for stabilization and enhancing effectiveness.
