What is "AC"?

I don't give AC(ammonium Chloride) to my doe's and I disagree with Chaty, Your male goats should get it EVERY SINGLE DAY. If you ever had a male get stones or UC you'll know what I mean. it is miserable for them. It is much easier & better to do it DAILY to keep them from getting them rather than wait till there's a problem & hope you can save there life!
Also Minelson, I also go by the Fias Co. farm's website dosage & I do believe it says 1 teaspoon for each 150 pounds of goat, of course this is for the precautionary measure.I'm going back & re-read it again.

Confusion abounds. I did find the AC so I'll have everything I need to make the little medicine balls for my wethers; however, the lady from the feed store talked to her supplier today and he told her the medicated food I purchased has something in it for cocci and the urinary issue.....why would it have AC if it is for bucks, wethers and does? I'm confused. Should I go ahead and make the balls too or will I be giving them too much?

As always, thank you!

powderhooves...did you get my pm?

It should be listed on the ingredient list of the feed bag if it's in the feed.

Powderhooves, I would look at the ingredient list before buying & personally I have never seen medicated food that has AC(ammonium Chloride) in it and I wouldn't buy the medicated food to feed to my animals all the time. It's like taking medicine all year when you don't need it.
I would make up Minelsons medicated balls & give them everyday.

I'll go out tonight and get the ingredient list.

For the sake of adding my 2 cents into the discussion, my wether was one of the ones that was extensively helped by this site. He was on the verge of being put down 2 times because of this uc. I will not let him go a day without the ac. I mixed up some ahead of time using the fiasco farms site and pour the liquid on some bread and then sprinkle with sugar. The 2 wethers we have love it.

I agree with backfourty, if you have ever had a wether with this you would not hesitate to give him this. Listening to my little guy scream in pain was so horrible. I just wanted to die because I was the reason he was in the pain. He is a mobil vacuum system and I didn't know about the ac. Never again.
