Now available to The Farmers Mailbox is this great Aussie made Ivermectin. Identical to other Ivermectin out there but at an unbeatable price! The manufacturer is keen for Australian farmers to save money on pour-on, so they have given it to us at a great price so we can pass it onto you.
Active Constituents: IVERMECTIN 5 mg/mL

Properties: Ivermectin Cattle Pour-on is a ready-to-use solution of ivermectin, a member of
the macrocyclic lactone class of endectocides, which has a unique mode of action. It acts selectively in invertebrate
nerve and muscle cells resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite.
Therefore, AUSMECTIN Cattle Pour-on has been used for the control and treatment of ivermectin-sensitive internal and external parasites of cattle.
It is particularly active and useful for controlling gastrointestinal roundworm, lungworm, mange mite, cattle tick and lice infections of cattle.
Ivermectin has a long intrinsic half-life, which provides excellent residual protection
against parasitic reinfestation for a varying period depending on the target parasite and the pharmaceutical nature of the ivermectin formulation.
Minimum 18 months use-by date.

Ausmectin Cattle Pour-On applied at the recommended dose rate of 500 μg ivermectin/kg bodyweight is indicated for the effective treatment and control of the following harmful parasites of cattle:

Gastroinal roundworms:
For the control of adult and immature (L4)
Ostertagia Ostertagi Small brown stomach worm (including inhibited stages)
Trichostronyuls Axei Stomach hair worm
Haemonchus Placei Barber’s pole worm
T. Columbriformis Intestinal hair worm
Cooperia spp. Small Intestinal worm
Oesophagosomum radiatum Nodule worm
And adult stages of: Cooperia Oncophora
C.Punctata
Oesophagostomum Venulosum
Trichuris spp. Whip Worm
Strongyloides papillosus

Intestinal threadworm And immature stages of;
Nematodirus spp. Thin necked intestinal worm L4

Lungworm:
Adult and immature Dictyocaulus viviparous

Eyeworm: Thelazia spp. – Adult Stages

Sucking and Biting Lice:
Linognathus Vituli
Heamatopinus eurysternus
bovicola (Damalina) Bovis
Solenopotes Capillatus

Mites:
Chorioptes Bovis
Sarcoptes Scabei var. bovis

Buffalo Flies:
heamatobia irritans exigua

Cattle Tick: Boophilus microplus including organophosphate-. Synthetic pyrethroid- and amidine-resistant strains. Maximum tick efficiency is achieved 4-5 days after treatment. Engorged female ticks that drop from cattle in the initial days after treatment may lay viable eggs. This should be taken into account when planning a strategic tick control program. Ausmectin Cattle Pour-0n should be alternated with conventional dips or pour-ons when the program requires repeat treatments. Do not retreat with Ausmectin Cattle Pour-On in less than the meat withholding period of 42 days.

Persistent Activity: Ausmectin Cattle Pour-On applied at the recommended Dose Rate of 1mL per 10kg bodyweight controls infections or Trichostrongylus Axei (stomach hair worm) and cooperia spp. (small intestinal worm) for up to 14 days after treatment; haematobia irritans exigua (buffalo fly) for up to 21 days after treatment. For best results, Ausmectin Cattle Pour-On should be part of a total parasite control program including internal and external parasites. Consult your veterinarian for complete parasite control program. Dosage: This product is formulated only for external application to cattle; do not use in other species. The formulation should be applied along the topline in a narrow strip extending from the withers to the tailhead.

Dose Rate: next 1mL per each 10kg of body weight

WITHHOLDING PERIODS:
MEAT: DO NOT USE less than 42 days before slaughter for human consumption.
MILK: NIL
