150 ml
Over 500 kg bodyweight

Administration
If the horse is to be groomed, the product should not be applied until after this has been completed.
Shake thoroughly before use.
Pour the product onto the sponge cloth and spread lightly over the horse's head, neck, body and legs measuring the dose volume against the calibrations on the 600 ml container.
Fly control
Apply shortly before working the horse or when flies are troublesome.
Where flies appear to be troublesome only around the horse's head and neck a reduced amount may be applied to these parts alone.
Repeat every other day or as necessary.
A treatment will normally give two to four days relief, but longer or shorter protection may occur depending on climatic conditions, the prevailing fly species and the intensity of fly worry.
Louse control
A single application of Coopers Fly Repellant Plus will usually eliminate adult populations of the biting louse Damalinia equi, and viable eggs for up to 3 months. However as this protection is not absolute, it is advisable to repeat treatment after an interval of 14 days. Ensure that the whole body is treated including the head and tail.
