Comments

1. Maintain applicator gun carefully to ensure accurate dosage.
2. Give full dose orally according to dosing schedule.
3. A representative sample of animals should be weighed before treatment.
4. Dose the herd to the heaviest animal by liveweight in each mob/herd. Do not under dose.
5. Where there is a large variation in size within the group, dose rates should be based on the label directions for each weight range. Drafting into two or more lines may be appropriate, to avoid excessive overdosing.
6. After use, clean gun by flushing with warm, soapy water. Rinse with cold water.
7. Resistance may develop to any chemical. Ask your local veterinary practitioner or animal health adviser for recommended parasite management practices for your area to reduce development of resistance. It is advisable that a resistance test be conducted before any parasite treatment is used.
