A low-volume, double-strength abamectin pour-on for dairy and beef cattle, applied along the backline. It contains abamectin at 10 g/L and carries a nil (zero day) milk withholding period, which is the reason most dairy operations reach for it. Meat withholding period is 35 days. The label states it should not be used in dogs, horses or any other pets, and it is not recommended for goats because safety and efficacy have not been evaluated in that species.
Available in 1L, 2.5L, 5L and 10L. See also Vetsense Ivermec Pour-On and Vetsense Eprinomec Pour-On. Part of the Vetsense range.

Directions
Apply along the backline at the label rate for bodyweight. Abamectin is extremely toxic to aquatic species — do not contaminate dams, rivers, streams or other waterways with the chemical or used containers. Safety directions on the label require cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist, a washable hat, elbow-length PVC gloves and goggles; the product irritates eyes and skin and is poisonous if swallowed. Read the label in full before use and observe all withholding periods.
