Do not feed to chickens within 10 days of vaccination or other conditions of stress. Treatment of colored breeds of commercial layers should be avoided while in production since these breeds appear to be more sensitive to coumaphos than white breeds. As sole medication; medications in general should be avoided while birds are approaching peak production. Such interruption of normal feeding practices may upset the flock and lower egg production. Diagnosis by competent personnel is essential. Flock condition and production records should be carefully evaluated prior to treatment. Adequate directions and warnings for use must be given and shall include a statement that coumaphos is a cholinesterase inhibitor and that animals being treated with coumaphos should not be exposed during or within a few days before or after treatment to any other cholinesterase-inhibiting drugs, insecticides, pesticides, or chemicals.
