Treatment of blowfly strike

Apply directly to all the affected parts at the rate of 2.5ml per 100 –150 cm2 (roughly the size of a hand). The T-bar nozzle should be used. Most strikes will require 5-10ml. Ensure that all affected parts are treated. A single application is sufficient to ensure that larvae are expelled and killed within a few hours.

Up to 20kg - 5ml
21 to 40kg - 10ml

Ticks: Adult sheep and lambs greater than 10kg: 10ml per 20kg bodyweight, up to a maximum of 40ml. One treatment will give 10 weeks cover.
Lambs under 10kg: 5ml followed 3 weeks later by a 10ml application.

Up to 10kg - 5ml
11 to 20kg - 10ml
21 to 40kg - 20ml
