What is the dosage for Tetanus Antitoxin for prevention on kids?

I bought a vile of tetanus antitoxin and I want to give it to my kids before disbudding and banding. I don't know how to split the dose for kids. Can anyone help me? I guess it is 1500 units for an adult. Thanks.

I give my lambs 500 units, which works out to 1.5 ML

For CD&T it is 2cc per goat, no matter the age of the goat but not sure about the plain tetanus antitoxin.

I believe this is what I my vet told me last year for my baby goats.
