Virbamec LA 500ml

OXPECKER COMPATIBLE

COMPOSITION:

Ivermectin 1 % m/v

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Use only as directed

Do not use intravenously.

Use of a 2,0 cm 16 gauge needle is recommended. The solution may be administered with any standard automatic or single-dose equipment.

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

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

Sheep: Inject subcutaneously only at 1 ml per 50 kg body mass. The loose skin of the sheep behind the shoulder is an acceptable site. Other administration sites are the skin under the foreleg (axilla) and 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 the dose is delivered.

Sheep scab: Sheep scab is a notifiable disease and treatment of suspected or confirmed outbreaks must be under government supervision. One treatment of Virbamec LA at a dose rate of 1 ml per 50 kg body mass by subcutaneous injection will eliminate the infestation. Ensure by proper management and supervision that all sheep on the farm are treated at the same time during an outbreak of sheep scab.

Sheep scab in Namibia: Even though this remedy is registered in South Africa for only one treatment, the law in Namibia states that two treatments, 7 – 10 days apart, are obligatory in the event of a sheep scab outbreak.

Pigs: Inject subcutaneously or intramuscularly at 1 ml per 33 kg body mass. Do not use intravenously.

Ostriches: Inject subcutaneously only. The recommended dose is 1 ml per 50 kg body mass for the control of ostrich wireworm (Libyostrongylus douglassii).
