Cattle
Indications
The intraruminal device treats and prophylactically controls gastrointestinal nematode infections in cattle caused by Ostertagia spp., Trichostrongylus spp., Haemonchus spp., Cooperia spp and Oesophagostomum spp. The intraruminal device aids in the control of parasitic bronchitis caused by Dictyocaulus viviparus.
For use in ruminating cattle in their first grazing season weighing between 100kg and 300kg on the day of administration. When administered at turnout, the intraruminal device controls parasitic gastroenteritis throughout the grazing season by reducing the build up of infective larvae on the pasture.
Reduced pasture contamination in the autumn lowers the risk of inhibited Ostertagia larvae accumulating in sufficient numbers to cause winter ostertagiasis. When administered later in the season, the intraruminal device is effective in the treatment of established parasitic infections and continues to have a prophylactic effect up to 140 days after administration. This period may be reduced if cattle are moved to heavily infected pasture.
Dose to be administered and administration route
To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked.
One intraruminal device to be administered orally to each animal before being turned out to grass. Alternatively, animals which have already been turned out can be administered an intraruminal device later in the grazing season.
All animals within a group grazing the same pasture must be treated with a Panacur Bolus to ensure maximum benefits from the system.
All newcomers to the group must also be administered a Panacur Bolus before being turned out to grass.
Administration is achieved using the Panacur Bolus Applicator which helps to administer the intraruminal device directly into the top of the oesophagus.
Insert an intraruminal device into the applicator. Restrain the animal and extend the head forward, keeping the neck straight. Insert the applicator into the front of the mouth and firmly but gently push it over the back of the tongue. Keeping the neck straight, tilt the head upwards and the animal will begin to swallow the end of the applicator - indicated by easier passage of the applicator down the throat.
The intraruminal device can then be ejected into the oesophagus by squeezing the release trigger on the applicator. Do not use force when administering the intraruminal device. Observe the animal for a short time to ensure the intraruminal device has been swallowed.
As the metal of the intraruminal device can be detected, the correct position of the intraruminal device can be checked by a suitable metal detector.
