For oral administration only. Give the recommended dose by mouth using standard dosing equipment. Dosing may be repeated at required intervals.
Shake container before use.
Equipment should be thoroughly cleaned before and after dosing.
As with any husbandry procedure, care should be taken when handling the animals especially when inserting the dosing gun nozzle into the animal's mouth. Unnecessary force should not be used as this may cause damage to the mouth and pharyngeal region.
The following are guidelines to regular dosing:
Bought-In Sheep: Sheep should be dosed on arrival. After dosing stock should be held for at least 8 hours before moving to clean grazing.
Sheep - Ewes: Dose at or before lambing to control the peri-parturient "rise". For further control this may be repeated 4 - 6 weeks after lambing. Dose again before mating.
Lambs: For routine roundworm control give the first dose at approximately 6 weeks of age repeating at one month intervals.
Nematodirasis: Give treatment when first outbreak is expected or during the first 2 weeks of May. Dosing should be repeated twice at 3 week intervals.
