Dosing a herd is done with a genus epidemicus for the herd, aqueous, in the drinking water.
A tablespoon of well succussed aqueous remedy per gallon - or less. Start with higher dosing first day to get them going; at low poteny chances of aggravation are near nil, and this ensures not too many critical animals at the start.. Easier to handle an odd aggravation than 2000 critical pigs if you have a sick and worsening herd.
You find this genus epidemicus by collecting symptoms that are seen, as if the entire herd is one pig.
From those symptoms of "one herd" you then repertorize your simillimum and dose it in the water, starting low F series potency maybe 5C for example.
Then you observe the individuals to find any that are clearly failing to respond at all to the remedy in use, and separate them out for repertorizing either individual remedies for them if the number is small, or more likely one or a few different remedies for small grops, and they would be penned separately with their own 5C remedy.
By that time it may be time for 8C for the main grop - and you can go from there.
Quite often in herd treatment, there is an individual or maybe more than one who really is not managing on this approach.
I would add ICT remedy these days but before that I would chek if a local remedy is needed for whatever the specific animal has preventig recovery. And also Check nutrition especially. Sick animals respond differently to eating needs, some eat, some not, it makes a huge difference to recovery. Remedy provides no nutrients. Make sure the farm is aware and on it.
So the overall approach is to group the animals into "one" as much as you can, and then accomodate lesser groups that do not respond as you wish, as needed. It is the best way to get a remedy started asap but still with "individuaizing for the herd" and as needed for individuals.
Once your groups are identified and penned, it is easy to see general herd response to a specific F series potency to help you know when to change up to the next.
As you get to higher potencies, reduce dosing frequency using plain water on no-dose days- maybe every thhird day or whatever you deem appropriate as dosing days - and also look for aggravations or backsliding (getting worse) to aid the timing. (Higher F potencies potencies can aggravate as much as four hours after the F series dose, and not right away, so have a few helpers to spot and record responses - teach farm workers to do it and record it as a routine. Go slower when in doubt, if the disease allows.)
If by some weird oddity you get a mass aggaravation or poving for either too high dosing or a misatched remedy, just toss some Bach rescue remedy into the water and hold off dosing till all is ready for it. I have not needed to do this and you likely will not either, but it is an answer to the potential problem.
I hope this is useful
Namaste,
Irene
