Weight (kg) | Dose (mL) | Weight (kg) | Dose (mL) |
---|---|---|---|
40-50 | 5 | 301-350 | 35 |
51-75 | 7.5 | 351-400 | 40 |
76-100 | 10 | 401-450 | 45 |
101-150 | 15 | 451-500 | 50 |
151-200 | 20 | 501-550 | 55 |
201-250 | 25 | 551-600 | 60 |
251-300 | 30 | 601-650 | 65 |
A representative sample of animals should be weighed before treatment either with scales or a weighband. Dose rate to be based on heaviest cattle in each group (bulls, cows, steers, calves, etc.). Do not underdose. Where there is a large variation in size within the group, draft into two or more lines based on body weight, to avoid excessive overdosing.
Cattle whose weight is in excess of 650 kg should be dosed at 1mL per 10kg bodyweight. Treatment of very young animals (less than 40kg bodyweight) is generally not warranted. Worm parasites may develop resistance to any anthelmintic. If this is suspected, please contact your local veterinary practitioner or advise the manufacturer.
