DOSING PROGRAMME
Routine herd treatment (high risk fluke areas):]
As a guide, dose all cattle exposed to fluke infected pastures preventatively at regular intervals of 10 weeks from March/April through to October/November. In situations where stock are outwintered, a dose in January may also be required. All animals grazing the pasture should be treated at these times. Veterinary advice should be sought with regard to specific preventative dosing regimes.
Routine herd treatment (moderate risk fluke areas):
Dose all cattle exposed to fluke infected pastures at regular intervals of 10 weeks throughout the fluke season, usually from September to January/February. Milking cows should be dosed at drying off. An additional preventative treatment in the spring will assist in reducing the amount of new infection on pasture in the following autumn.
Bought in cattle
Cattle bought in from fluke risk areas should be treated before joining the main herd.
]In wintering
Where cattle are inwintered, a single dose of FASINEX 240 should be given 2 weeks after housing.
Treatment of sub-scute and acute outbreaks
Affected cattle, usually young animals, should be treated immediately after diagnosis is reached. Veterinary advice should be sought for subsequent dosing intervals.
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Animals must not be slaughtered for human consumption during treatment. Cattle may be slaughtered for human consumption only after 52 days from the last treatment. Do not administer to cattle producing milk for human consumption or dairy cows within 60 days before calving. ‹ Read Less
