AUSMECTIN CATTLE POUR-ON IAH
- Active ingredient
- Ivermectin 5 g/L
Ausmectin Cattle Pour On is for the treatment and control of ivermectin sensitive internal and external parasites of cattle.
Broad-spectrum efficacy against a wide range of internal and external ivermectin sensitive parasites
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.
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.
Internal parasites:
gastrointestinal roundworms (including inhibited immature Ostertagia ostertagi), lungworms (Dictyocaulus viviparus), eyeworms (Thelazia spp.)
External parasites:
sucking and biting lice, chorioptic and sarcoptic mange mites, buffalo flies (Haematobia irritans exigua) and cattle ticks (Rhipicephalus [Boophilus] microplus)
Dosage & Administration:
FOR EXTERNAL APPLICATION TO CATTLE ONLY.
Apply along the top line in a narrow strip extending from the withers to the tailhead.
The dose rate is 1 mL for each 10 kg body weight (equivalent to 500 µg ivermectin per kg body weight). See label for details.
Dose the mob according to the heaviest animal in the group (cows, bulls, calves, heifers etc.). Do not under dose and avoidexcessive overdosing.
It is recommended that a representative sample of animals should be weighed with either scales or a weightband before treatment. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the complete parasite control program.
Persistent Activity:
Controls infections of Trichostrongylus axei (stomach hair worm) and Cooperia spp. (small intestinal worm) for up to 14 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;
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.
Active Constituents:

Apply along the backline in a narrow strip from the withers to the tailhead at the rate of 1 mL per 10 kg bodyweight. Weigh a representative sample of the mob and dose to the heaviest animal in each group to avoid underdosing. Apply only to healthy skin, avoiding mange scabs, lesions, mud or manure. Use as part of a planned parasite-control program and rotate between chemical groups to help manage resistance. Always read the current product label before use and observe the stated withholding periods.
