Period of protection
This is a short acting product and can only be expected to work where resistance is not prevalent. Always conduct drench resistance testing and seek veterinary advice if you are concerned for livestock wellbeing.
Dosage and Administration

Dose the mob to the heaviest animal by liveweight in each group (ewes, wethers, rams and lambs). Do not underdose.
A representative sample of animals should be weighed before treatment either with scales or weighband. Where there is a large variation in size within the group, dose rate should be based on the label directions for each weight range. Drafting into two or more lines may be appropriate, to avoid excessive overdosing.
