Cattle in excess of 650 kg should be dosed at a rate of 1 mL per 50 kg bodyweight. A representative sample of animals should be weighed before treatment either with scales or a weighband. Dose rate to be based on the heaviest cattle in each group (bulls, cows, steers, calves, etc.). Do not underdose. Where there is a large variation in size within the group, draft into two or more lines based on bodyweight, to avoid excessive overdosing. A representative sample of animals should be weighed before treatment either with scales or a weighband.
Treatment of very young animals (less than 40 kg bodyweight) is generally not warranted.
Worm parasites may develop resistance to any anthelmintic. If this is suspected please contact your local veterinary practitioner or advise the manufacturer.
