Use of a 2,0 cm 16 gauge needle is recommended.

Use sterile equipment and follow aseptic procedures.

The solution may be administered with any standard automatic or single-dose equipment.

Cattle

Inject subcutaneously at 1 ml per 50 kg body mass under the loose skin in front of or behind the shoulder, or intramuscularly. 

Appropriate vaccination precautions should be taken in areas where the risk of Clostridial infections of cattle such as black quarter (sponssiekte) and malignant oedema occurs.

Sheep

Inject subcutaneously at 1 ml per 50 kg body mass in the loose skin behind the shoulder, under the foreleg (axilla) or the inside of the thigh. 

Ensure that the needle is carefully inserted and that the solution does not leak from the injection site. 

In wool sheep, ensure that the needle has penetrated the wool and skin before delivering the dose. 

Sheep should be vaccinated against pulpy kidney (enterotoxaemia) before treatment. 

Sheep scab is a notifiable disease, and treatment of suspected or confirmed outbreaks must be carried out under government supervision. 

Proper management practices must be applied to ensure that all animals on the farm are treated correctly during a sheep scab outbreak. 

One treatment of Virbamec L at a dose of 1 ml per 50 kg body mass is sufficient to eliminate the infestation. However, where adequate management and supervision are not possible during treatment, a second dose is necessary after 7 days.

Sheep scab in Namibia: The law in Namibia stipulates that two treatments, 7 to 10 days apart, are obligatory in the event of a sheep scab outbreak.
