- it should deliver doses of 2.5 ml, 5 ml and 10 ml.

[in relevant cases, an additional step (under 5) should be included for the removal of the additional unviolability seal:]

Cattle : Apply a 10 ml dose using an appropriate applicator.

Sheep : Apply one 5 ml dose using an appropriate applicator.

Lambs : Apply one 2.5 ml dose using an appropriate applicator.

Application site:

Apply the product along the mid-line of the back at the level of the shoulders. See following specific indication directions.

Lice on cattle: One application will generally eradicate all lice. Complete clearance of all lice may take 4 - 5 weeks during which time lice hatch from the eggs and are killed. A very few lice may survive on a small minority of animals.

Flies on cattle: Where horn-flies predominate, treatment and prevention of infestations can be expected for 4 - 8 weeks.

Ticks on sheep: Application to the mid-point of the shoulders will provide treatment and prevention of infestations by ticks attaching to animals of all ages, for up to 6 weeks after treatment.

Keds and lice on sheep: Application to the mid-point of the shoulders of sheep in short or long fleece will reduce the incidence of a biting louse or ked infestation over a 4 - 6 week period after treatment.

It is advisable to:

- treat shortly after shearing (animals with short fleece),

- keep treated sheep separated from untreated sheep to avoid re-infestation.

N.B. For treatment and prevention of infestations by ticks, keds and lice on sheep, the fleece should be parted and the product applied to the skin of the animal.

Established blowfly strike on sheep: Apply directly to the maggot infected area as soon as the fly strike is seen. One application will ensure blowfly larvae are killed in a short time. In the case of more advanced strike lesions, clipping out of stained wool before treatment is advisable.

Lice and ticks on lambs: Application to the mid-line of the back at the level of the shoulders will provide treatment and prevention of infestations by ticks for up to 6 weeks after treatment, and will reduce the incidence of biting lice over a 4-6 week period after treatment.
