Application Guidelines

• Determine the correct dosage for animals based on weight.
• Dose the mob to the heaviest animal by body weight in each group
• Drafting into two or more lines may be appropriate, to avoid excessive overdosing.
• It is recommended that as sheep are treated, they are marked (with a crayon) so any untreated sheep can be identified and treated.
• Most commonly available drench applicators will be suitable – ensure they are clean and working well and calibrate before use.

• Use a 10mm tube between the backpack and applicator to ensure optimal refill time.
• Rainfall before or after oral treatment will not affect lice control
• Rinse applicator and tubing with water at the end of each day used
