Dosage:
-
0.1 ml per 5 kg live bodyweight to give 0.2 mg moxidectin/kg live bodyweight.
Administration:
-
Inject subcutaneously in the neck.
-
Use sterile 18 gauge needles or smaller, of half inch (1.5 cm) length.
-
Ensure that the needle is inserted carefully under the skin using aseptic precautions and that product does not leak from the injection site.
-
Be certain that the needle has penetrated the skin before delivering the dose.
-
To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked.
-
DO NOT UNDERDOSE. As with any scab treatment, underdosing can cause suppression and spread of the disease.
-
For routine prevention of sheep scab, all sheep in the flock must be injected once.
-
The curative treatment of scab requires two injections 10 days apart.
-
The two injections must be given on different sides of the neck.
