LV stands for low volume. At ivermectin 10 mg/mL and 1 mL per 20 kg, it applies half the liquid of the standard 5 mg/mL pour-on for the same dose of active — less to carry up the race, and a pack that treats roughly twice as many head for its size.
It also carries a shorter meat withholding than the standard pour-on: 21 days meat and 21 days ESI, nil milk. Supplied in 1L, 2.5L, 5L and 15L.

Controls
Gastrointestinal roundworms including barber's pole worm, small brown stomach worm (including inhibited stages), small intestinal worm, stomach hair worm, hookworm, large bowel worm, whipworm, thin-necked intestinal worm and intestinal threadworm; lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus); long-nosed, short-nosed and little sucking lice and biting lice; Chorioptes bovis and Sarcoptes scabiei var bovis; buffalo fly; cattle tick.
Safety
Macrocyclic lactone actives (ivermectin, abamectin, moxidectin, eprinomectin) are toxic to dogs, and severely so in herding breeds such as Collies, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds and Kelpies. Keep dogs away from treated animals until the product has dried, store the container out of reach, and dispose of empty packs and used syringes where a dog cannot get at them. Withholding periods and export slaughter intervals apply — read the label before treating any animal destined for sale, and rotate chemical groups between seasons rather than relying on one active, because resistance is the main reason a treatment stops working.
