Exercise care in handling weak, pregnant and young animals to avoid unnecessary stress. Avoid yarding animals off-feed overnight, and ensure animals have access to water when yarded prior to drenching. Recommended dose should not be exceeded, except under veterinary supervision.

Withholding Periods:

Meat 28 days.

Milk Do not use in female sheep which are producing, or may in the future produce, milk or milk products for human consumption.

Dosage and Administration:

For use as a quarantine drench, treat all animals on arrival, or ideally at farm of origin, and hold in yards for at least 24 hours before release. For use in a strategic worm control program, speak to an animal health advisor or veterinarian.

Administer orally. Check accuracy of the drench equipment before and during use. A representative sample of animals should be weighed before treatment. Dose the mob to the heaviest animal by liveweight in each group (ewes, wethers, rams, lambs). Do not underdose. Where there is a large variation in size within the group, dose rate should be based on the label directions for each weight range. Drafting into two or more lines may be appropriate to avoid excessive overdosing.

Dose. 1 mL/5 kg bodyweight. Shake well before use. See dose rate table on product label for further information.
