Indications
For the prevention and treatment of hypocuprosis in cattle and sheep
Dose to be administered and administration route
For oral administration only.
Adult sheep (50kg) receive one 4g (ivory) capsule (equivalent to 80 mg CuO/kg for a 50 kg sheep).
Calves (ruminant calves 75-100kg and over 2 months of age) receive two 4g (ivory) capsules (equivalent to 80 mg CuO/kg for a 100 kg calf).
Adult sheep and calves may be dosed with standard drench guns fitted with the special adapters provided. The 4g capsule is inserted at one end and the other is attached to the drench gun. The capsule is ejected by expulsion with water. Conventional balling guns may also be employed. Always check the animal has swallowed the capsule.
To be used at intervals of not less than 6 months.
In ewes, for the prevention of congenital swayback, the dose should be given at tupping or during the first half of pregnancy. It may be advisable to administer the dose during the second or third month of gestation rather than at tupping on farms where copper deficiency is particularly severe.
Adverse reactions
Not to be expected provided the recommended dosage regimes are followed.
