AUSMECTIN SHEEP DRENCH IAH
- Active ingredient
- Ivermectin 0.8 g/L
Ausmectin Sheep Drench is a Broad spectrum oral antiparasitic solution for sheep for the treatment and control of ivermectin sensitive strains of internal roundworms.
Ausmectin Sheep Drench contains ivermectin, a member of the macrocyclic lactone class of chemicals, 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.
Ausmectin Sheep Drench Broad-spectrum has an efficacy against a wide range of ivermectin sensitive parasites:
Roundworms including Barbers pole worm (Haemonchus contortus),
Large stomach worm (Haemonchus placei),
Small brown stomach worm (Ostertagia circumcincta),
Stomach hair worm (Trichostrongylus axei),
Black scour worm (Trichostrongylus colubriformis) etc
Lungworm (Dictyocaulus filaria),
Itchmite (Psorergates ovis)
and all parasitic larval stages of nasal bot (Oestrus ovis)
Active constituents:
IVERMECTIN 0.8 g/L
Active Ingredient: Ivermectin 0.8 g/L
Ausmectin Sheep Drench is a ready-to-use oral solution of ivermectin (0.8 g/L) for the treatment and control of ivermectin-sensitive strains of internal roundworms (including benzimidazole-, levamisole- and morantel-resistant strains), nasal bot and itch mite of sheep.
Administer orally using any standard drenching equipment that delivers a consistent dose. The dose rate is 1 mL per 4 kg bodyweight. Weigh a representative sample of the mob and dose to the heaviest animal in each group; where there is a wide size range, draft into lines to avoid excessive overdosing. Use as part of a planned worm-control program and rotate drench groups to help manage resistance. Always read the current product label before use and observe the stated withholding periods.
