Ausmectin is registered for the treatment and control of Ivermectin sensitive:

• Gastrointestinal nematodes
• Lungworms
• Eyeworms
• Sucking and biting lice
• Mites
• Buffalo flies
• Cattle ticks

Ausmectin 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.

Ausmectin 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.

Ausmectin 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 on

• 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
• Ostertagia spp. (small brown stomach worm) and Oesophagostomum radiatum (nodule worm) for up to 21 days after treatment
• Dictyocaulus viviparus (lungworm) for up to 28 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.

Dose Rate:

Ausmectin Pour-On is applied at 1mL per 10kg (10mL per 100kg) of body weight.

Heavier animals (for example mature bulls) should receive an additional 10mL for each 100kg over 650kg.

Application:

• Ausmectin 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.  The dose is 1mL for each 10kg of liveweight. Dose the mob according to the heaviest animal by liveweight in each group (cows, bulls, calves, heifers, etc.). When there is a large variation in size within the group, draft into two or more lines based on bodyweight, to avoid overdosing.  Do not underdose. Cattle should be weighed with either scales or with a weighband.
• Do not use in pregnant cows less than 7 days before calving
• Treatment should not be repeated in less than 42 days.
• Efficacy of Ausmectin Pour-on For Beef And Dairy Cattle is not adversely affected when the hide is wet or if rainfall occurs shortly after treatment.  However, it is not considered good agricultural practice to treat animals if they are wet or rain is likely.
