This product can be used on all adult sheep up to 7 days off-shears and on unshorn lambs up to 2 months of age. Apply the entire dose to sheep under 30kg as a single broadband stripe from poll to tail butt.

A representative sample of animals should be weighed before treatment. Dose the mob to the heaviest animal by liveweight in each group (ewes, wethers, rams, lambs).

Where there is a large variation in size within the group (e.g. lambs), 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.
