TECHNICAL INFORMATION
ABINEX FORTE POUR-ON Abamectin 1% w/v Presentation A clear, straw coloured oily pour on solution containing Abamectin 1% w/v. Uses A broad-spectrum endectocide of the avermectin family, effective against internal and external parasites sensitive to this family. For the treatment and control of the following mature and immature roundworms and lungworms in cattle: Haemonchus spp., Ostertagia spp., Cooperia spp., Trichostrongylus spp., Oesophagostomum spp., Nematodirus spp., Trichuris spp. (adults only) Dictyocaulus spp. Also for the treatment and control of sucking and biting lice (Linognathus vituli and Damalinia bovis respectively). Dosage and Administration Shake well before use. Abinex Forte Pour-on is ready to use through standard pour-on equipment Cattle: ml/20 kg body weight (based on the recommended dose of 500 micrograms of abamectin per kg body weight) poured on the mid-back of the animal if using the 200 ml pump pack, the measuring cup on the 400ml pack or if using a pour-on gun attached to the specially made container cap. Using the 200ml pump pack, 1 stroke per 44kg bodyweight. To obtain maximum benefit from the persistent activity of Abinex Forte Pour-On, calves which are setstocked in their first grazing season should be treated at turn-out and at 8 week intervals
Rain Resistance Clinical trials have shown that the efficacy of Abinex Forte Pour-on is not affected by simulated rainfall 1 hour after treatment, based on faecal egg counts 3 weeks after treatment. It is advised not to treat cattle when the hide or hair is wet. Contra-indications, Warnings, etc. Do not concurrently treat animals with drugs, which can increase GABA activity such as barbital. Do not treat animals with a known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient. Assess body weight as accurately as possible before calculating dosage. Intensive use or misuse of anthelmintics may give rise to drug resistance. To reduce this risk, dosing programs should be discussed with your veterinary surgeon. Do not use in cattle producing milk for human consumption. Overdose Trials showed that a dose of 1000 mg/kg single or repeated after 21 days caused no ADRs, however several fold overdose of the injectable formulation of abamectin can cause toxicity; animals will become recumbent within 24 hours and may not recover; there is no antidote.
Operator Warnings Avoid contact with the skin. Do not smoke or eat while handling the product. The use of plastic gloves is advised. Wash hands after use. Do not use in other species. If the drug is taken by mistake immediately seek medical treatment. Emetine or ephedrine may be useful. Pharmaceutical Precautions Do not store above 25째C. Protect from light Shake well before use. Keep out of reach and sight of children. Abamectin should not enter watercourses as it is extremely dangerous to fish and aquatic life. Unused product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with current practice for pharmaceutical waste under national waste disposal regulations. Legal Category

TECHNICAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION INFORMATION
BIMOTRIM CO INJECTION PRESENTATION A clear, pale pink/brown sterile, aqueous solution for parenteral administration. Each ml contains: 200mg Sulfadoxine and 40mg Trimethoprim. TARGET SPECIES Cattle and horses. INDICATIONS FOR USE The in vitro activity covers most common Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including Actinobacillus spp., Actinomyces bovis, Bordetella spp., Corynebacterium spp., Klebsiella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Nocardia spp., Pasteurella spp., Proteus spp., Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus spp., and Streptococcus spp. Indications: The injection may be used in the treatment of a wide range of diseases and conditions of bacterial origin in cattle and horses. Respiratory infections of bacterial origin including pneumonia, rhinitis, bronchitis and secondary bacterial infections following virus pneumonia mycoplasmal infections. Urogenital tract infections including cystitis, vaginitis, urethritis, nephritis and metritis. Alimentary tract infections, neonatal diarrhoea, salmonellosis and post- weaning enteritis. CONTRAINDICATIONS Do not administer by the intraperitoneal or subcutaneous route. Do not administer to horses exhibiting cardiac arrhythmias. Such arrhythmias may be associated with the administration of certain anaesthetic and sedative agents. SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES Very occasionally, temporary irritating swellings may appear at the site of injection. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE i. Special precautions for use in animals The following warnings are applicable to all Trimethoprim Sulfonamide combinations for use in the horse. 1. Cardiac and respiratory shocks in horses have been observed, mostly after intravenous injection. 2. The injection solution should be approximately intolerance, the injection should be interrupted and shock treatment initiated. The product should be injected slowly over as long a period as is reasonably practical. 3. The intravenous route of administration is contra-indicated in the case of previous or concurrent administration of central nervous system depressants (e.g. anaesthetics, neuroleptics). 4. The possibility of an anaphylactic or hypersensitivity reaction occurring following administration on rare occasions must be borne in mind. 5. As with all trimethoprim sulphonamide formulations the possibility of potential damage to the kidney or liver or haematopoetic system should be considered
(ii) Special precautions to be taken by person administering the medicinal product Care should be taken to avoid accidental injection and contact with the skin. Wash hands after use. Sulphonamides may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) following, injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to sulphonamides may lead to cross reactions with other antibiotics. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be serious. 1. Do not handle this product if you know you are sensitive to sulphonamides. 2. If you develop symptoms following exposure such as skin rash, you should seek medical advice and show the doctor this warning. ADVERSE REACTIONS (FREQUENCY AND SERIOUSNESS) Very occasionally, temporary irritating swellings may appear at the site of injection. USE DURING PREGNANCY AND LACTATION Studies during pregnancy have not been conducted. Use with care in pregnant animals. INTERACTION WITH OTHER MEDICINAL PRODUCTS AND OTHER FORMS OF INTERACTIONS Because of the competitive action of the sulphonamides, their activity may be antagonised by the presence of any of the following: 1. para-Aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and related compounds, particularly local anaesthetics with a PABA nucleus such as procaine, butacaine and benzocaine, but also compounds associated with those such as procaine penicillin. It is recommended that local anaesthetics of the procaine group should not be used during treatment with Bimotrim Co Injection. 2. Some members of the Vitamin B complex, such as nicotinamide, folic acid, choline and precursors of these. 3. Proteins which combine loosely with the sulphonamides and at least temporarily reduce their antibacterial activity. Gelatin, albumin, peptone and serum protein all antagonise the sulphonamides. Associated with this group are products of cell and tissue death, especially pus, which also acts as a non-vascular, mechanical barrier. 4. A number of other compounds, including enzymes, glucose and mercuric chloride, are all reported AMOUNTS TO BE ADMINISTERED AND ADMINISTRATION ROUTE Dose: 15mg/kg (equivalent to 1 ml per 16 kg bodyweight) daily. Daily dosing should be repeated for two days after symptoms have resolved up to a maximum of 5 days. Route of administration: Cattle: By slow intravenous or intramuscular injection. Intramuscular injection is the preferred route and should be given into the neck. Horses: By slow intravenous injection. OVERDOSE (SYMPTOMS, EMERGENCY PROCEDURES, ANTIDOTES), IF NECESSARY Do not exceed the recommended dose or treat animals for more than 5 consecutive days.
WITHDRAWAL PERIOD(S) Milk for human consumption must not be taken during treatment. With cows milked twice daily, milk for human consumption may only be taken from 60 hrs. (i.e. 5th milking) from the last treatment.

(ii) Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals Penicillins and cephalosporins may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross-reactions to cephalosporins and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be serious. Do not handle this product if you know you are sensitised, or if you have been advised not to work with such preparations. Handle this preparation with great care to avoid exposure, taking all recommended precautions. If you develop symptoms following exposure such as a skin rash, you should seek medical advice and show the Doctor this warning. with breathing are more serious symptoms and require urgent medical attention. ADVERSE REACTIONS (FREQUENCY AND SERIOUSNESS) As with all penicillins, amoxicillin may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) and should not be used when an animal is known to be allergic to beta-lactams. Occasional local reaction of a transient nature may occur at the site of injection.
USE DURING PREGNANCY, LACTATION OR LAY As with all other antibiotics, Bimoxyl LA should be used with caution during pregnancy and lactation.

SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR TARGET SPECIES Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk of development of resistance and could ultimately result in ineffective therapy: 路 Too frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics from the same class, over an extended period of time. 路 Underdosing, which may be due to underestimation of body weight, misadministration of the product, or lack of calibration of the dosing device (if any). Suspected clinical cases of resistance to anthelmintics should be further investigated using appropriate tests (e.g. Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test). Where the results of the test(s) strongly suggest resistance to a particular anthelmintic, an anthelmintic belonging to another pharmacological class and having a different mode of action should be used. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE i) Special precautions for use in animals This product does not contain any antimicrobial preservative. Swab septum before removing each dose. ii) Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals Do not smoke or eat whilst handling the product. Wash hands after use. Take care to avoid self-injection: the product may cause local irritation and/or pain at the injection site. iii) Other precautions Treated cattle should not have direct access to ponds, streams or ditches for 14 days after treatment. ADVERSE REACTIONS (FREQUENCY AND SERIOUSNESS) Transitory discomfort has been observed in some cattle following subcutaneous administration. A low incidence of soft tissue swelling at the injection site has been observed. These reactions disappeared without treatment.. USE DURING PREGNANCY AND LACTATION OR LAY Can be used in pregnancy and lactation. Can be used in breeding animals. : Please refer to withdrawal periods INTERACTION WITH OTHER MEDICINAL PRODUCTS AND OTHER FORMS OF INTERACTION None known. AMOUNTS TO BE ADMINISTERED AND ADMINISTRATION ROUTE Dosage and duration of treatment A single dose of 1ml per 50kg bodyweight, i.e. 200渭g ivermectin and 2mg clorsulon per kg bodyweight. Method of administration Bimectin Plus should be administered only by subcutaneous injection under the loose skin in front of or behind the shoulder. Divide doses in excess of 10 ml between different injection sites and use different sites to those used for other parenteral medications. A sterile 17 gauge 陆 inch (15-20mm) needle is recommended. When using the 500ml pack size use only automatic syringe equipment. For the50ml pack size, use of a multidose syringe is recommended.

BOVISEAL NA
Bismuth Subnitrate 2.6g Presentation Boviseal is an off-white smooth paste. It is presented in syringes each containing 4g intramammary infusion containing 65% Bismuth Subnitrate, in a mineral oil vehicle. Uses Boviseal is indicated for the prevention of new intramammary infections throughout the dry period. This results in a reduction in the incidence of sub clinical mastitis in cows at calving, and of clinical mastitis in the dry period and the subsequent lactation (for at least 60 days after calving). It is recommended that Boviseal be used as part of a herd approach to dry cow management and mastitis control. Cows considered likely to be free of sub clinical mastitis should be given Boviseal at drying off according to the criteria below. Other animals should be managed in accordance with an approved mastitis control plan or specific veterinary advice. For practical purposes, selection criteria may be based on the mastitis and cell count history of individual cows, or recognised tests for the detection of sub clinical mastitis or bacteriological sampling. It is particularly important that, prior to treatment, an individual cell count be obtained from any cow with a history of clinical mastitis during the previous lactation. As a guide, cows with an average cell count less than 200,000 cells/ml before drying off may be given Boviseal. A minor increase (cell count up to 250,000 cells/ml) during the last 4 weeks before drying off is normal and
may be ignored. In case of doubt, veterinary advice should be sought Dosage and Administration Dosage One syringe into each udder quarter immediately after the last milking of the lactation (at drying off). Administration At drying off the teat should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and it should be allowed to dry before infusion; this is essential, as Boviseal possesses no antimicrobial activity. Care should also be taken to avoid contamination of the syringe nozzle. Insert nozzle into the teat and apply gentle and continuous pressure until the paste is expressed. Do not massage the teat or udder after infusion of the product. It is advisable to use an appropriate teat disinfectant following the infusion. Contra-indications, Warnings, etc. Not intended for use in cows with a suspected or confirmed intramammary infection at drying off.
Pharmaceutical Precautions Keep out of the reach and sight of children. For animal treatment only. Legal Category
LM
Package Quantities 120 syringes. Further Information Most of the seal comes out at the first stripping, suckling or milking after calving, but small amounts may occasionally be seen for a few days as flecks on the filter. Boviseal can be differentiated from mastitis by its texture. Under cold conditions the product may be warmed to room temperature in a warm environment, to aid syringeability. Individual tubes must not be placed in warm water. Any unused product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with national requirements. Operator Warnings No special precautions. VPA No. 10960/49/1
Do not use in the lactating cow. If lactating cows are accidentally infused the seal can easily be stripped out manually and no additional precautions are needed. If a sealed quarter develops clinical mastitis the affected quarter should be stripped out manually before appropriate antibacterial therapy is instituted. For single use only.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
CONVITAL EQUILYTES Potassium ions Magnesium ions Calcium ions ALL NATURAL WITH AMINO ACIDS
Electrolytes are muscle impulse conductors. The electrolytes calcium, potassium and magnesium (Ca++, K+ and Mg++) are necessary for the proper function of muscle, both cardiac and skeletal in the horse. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A HORSE WORKS HARD?
During the stringent, prolonged exercise and sweating, that a horse undergoes while racing, large quantities of these ions are lost, resulting in fatigue and exhaustion. During maximum physical stress, your horse can sweat away about 32 pounds of body fluids. He’s not just losing water, he’s losing the electrolytes essential to smooth, efficient muscle function. Each muscle used by the horse produces heat and releases potassium into the blood, causing veins and arteries to expand and increase in size to the maximum carrying capacity. The added circulation carries away heat from the muscle to cool them. As water is drawn out of the muscle cells to produce sweat, the cells operate with decreasing efficiency. The horse becomes weak and exhausted from the loss of potassium. The magnesium lost can result in both fatigue and muscle cramps. Calcium is also excreted in the horse’s sweat and this loss can cause a metabolic imbalance know as the “thumps” where the diaphragm spasmodically contracts, synchronised with the heartbeat. HOW CAN EXHAUSTION BE PREVENTED?
To prevent dehydration, exhaustion and metabolic disorders your horse needs water and electrolytes during and after physical stress, and he needs them in the body tissue where they can act to keep his muscles performing at their peak. Your
horse also needs glucose, which is the only carbohydrate that is used for energy, and is a by-product of fructose and gluctose metabolism. Glucose is stored by the horse in the form of muscle glycogen, which is depleted as it is used for “fuel” by the working muscles. HOW DO THE SUPPLEMENTS WORK?
Attempts to replace these ions by feeding the usual electrolyte salts produce unpredictable results. The chloride salts of potassium, magnesium and calcium when given to the horse in either food or water may not be absorbed into the blood for numerous reasons, including · Competition between ions for transporting proteins to be carried into intestinal cells. Some competing ions can be antagonistic and prevent absorption. · Concentration of each ion. · Solubility of the ions associated molecules. Because of these, and other variables in electrolyte absorption from the gut, the replacement of the lost electrolytes by use of the old “salt “ forms in the water make absorption and cellular balancing erratic unpredictable, and therefore unreliable. The athletic horse, especially during an event or competition needs to have lost electrolytes replaced rapidly and in a predictable manner. WHY IS CONVITAL EQUILYTES DIFFERENT?
Convital Equilytes contains potassium magnesium and calcium ions concentrated in an amino acid “chelate” form to make them highly absorbable and rapidly bioavailable. As a stable amino acid-electrolyte chelate, Equilytes is not ionized in the gut, but absorbed intact through a different pathway. This means that the electrolytes are transported across the gut wall to the blood where they become
bioavailable in minutes rather than hours. Equilytes provides your horse with fructose as an energy source. The amino acid L-glutamine is also contained in Equilytes as a direct and immediate energy source, since it can be used in addition to glucose as a fuel by the brain cells in their very active metabolism. Glutamine passes readily through the blood brain barrier, and is transformed into glutamic acid which is then used as fuel. HAS CONVITAL EQUILYTES BEEN TESTED?
In order to obtain clinical date for the use of Electrolytes chelated to amino acids (“convital equilytes”) a controlled study was made of the “Horsetooth Mountain Endurance Ride” held in June 1987, near Fort Collins, Colorado under the control of K.A. Larson, DVM Ph.D. This study has shown “test” horses treated with Equilytes maintained significantly higher levels of Ca++, Mg++ and K+ during race when compared with untreated controls, demonstrating the rapid uptake and bioavailability in the product. INGREDIENTS:
Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, chelated calcium, chelated magnesium, Fructose, L-glutamine, and benzoic acid. Calcium and magnesium are chelated to amino acids. Molasses base. DOSAGE:
Apply paste directly from syringe to back to tongue. For horses undergoing stress, administer per 1,000 pounds (454kg) of bodyweight, or one-half syringe one hour prior to and one-half syringe immediately following event of workout. Water horse after administering.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
CRONYXIN INJECTION Flunixin 50mg/ml Presentation Cronyxin Injection is a clear, sterile, aqueous solution for injection. Each ml contains Flunixin 50mg (as Flunixin Meglumine), Phenol 5mg (preservative), Sodium Formaldehyde Sulfoxylate (antioxidant) and Propylene Glycol (co-solvent). USES Cattle For the control of acute inflammation associated with respiratory disease. For use as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of acute mastitis. Horses For the alleviation of inflammation and pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders. For the alleviation of visceral pain associated with colic. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Cattle The recommended dose is 2ml Cronyxin injection per 45kg bodyweight (equivalent to 2.2mg flunixin per kg) injected intravenously and repeated as necessary at 24 hour intervals for up to 5 consecutive days. The cause of the acute inflammatory condition should be determined and treated with concomitant therapy. Horses For use in equine musculoskeletal disorders, the recommended dose is 1ml Cronyxin Injection per 45kg bodyweight (equivalent to 1.1mg flunixin per kg) injected intravenously and repeated as necessary at 24 hour intervals for up to 5 consecutive days according to response. For use in equine colic, the recommended dose is 1ml Cronyxin Injection per 45kg bodyweight (equivalent to 1.1mg flunixin per kg) injected intravenously and repeated once or twice if signs of colic recur. The cause of colic should be determined and treated with concomitant therapy. CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS ETC. Do not exceed the recommended dose or treat animals for more than 5 consecutive days. Use is contra-indicated in animals suffering from cardiac, hepatic or renal disease, where there is the possibility of gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding, where there is evidence of a blood dyscrasia or hypersensitivity to the product. Avoid intra-arterial injection. Avoid use in dehydrated, hypovolemic or hypotensive animals as there is a potential risk of increased renal toxicity. Not to be used in animals with known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient. For animal treatment only. UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS (GENERAL) Prolonged use of NSAIDs, including flunixin, may predispose or lead to gastro-intestinal irritation, and in severe cases, ulceration. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE NSAIDs can cause inhibition of phagocytosis and hence in the treatment of inflammatory conditions associated with bacterial infections appropriate concurrent antimicrobial therapy should be instigated. Some NSAIDs may be highly bound to plasma proteins and compete with other highly bound drugs to produce an increase in non-bound pharmacologically active concentrations, which can lead to toxic effects. Use in any animal less than 6 weeks of age or
in aged animals may involve additional risk. If such use cannot be avoided animals may require a reduced dosage and careful clinical management. It is preferable that flunixin is not administered to animals undergoing general anaesthesia until fully recovered. Concurrent administration of potentially nephrotoxic drugs should be avoided.. USE DURING PREGNANCY AND LACTATION Do not administer to pregnant mares. Studies to demonstrate safety in pregnant mares have not been conducted. DRUG INTERACTIONS Do not mix Cronyxin with other medicaments prior to administration. Monitor drug compatibility closely where adjunctive therapy is required. Cronyxin may potentiate the effects of warfarin and other such drugs. Do not administer other NSAIDs concurrently or within 24 hours of each other. Due to their common mode of action, flunixin may potentiate and be potentiated by other NSAIDs which act by interfering with prostaglandin synthesis. WITHDRAWAL PERIOD(S) Milk from lactating cows should be discarded during treatment and may only be taken for human consumption after 36 hours following treatment. Animals may not be slaughtered for human consumption during treatment. Animals may be slaughtered for human consumption only after 7 days from the last treatment. Not for horses intended for human consumption. PHARMACEUTICAL PRECAUTIONS Keep out of reach and sight of children. Do not store above 25°C. Following withdrawal of the first dose, use the product within 28 days. Avoid the introduction of contamination during use. Should any apparent growth or discolouration occur, the product should be discarded. LEGAL CATEGORY POM PACKAGE QUANTITIES 250ml and 1 litre FUTHER INFORMATION Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are not permitted substances under the Rules of Racing and under rules covering other competitive events. Veterinary surgeons administering NSAIDs to racehorses should refer to Section 4.4 of the RCVS Guide to Professional Conduct. Section 4.4.7 states ‘If a veterinarian recommends the discontinuance of any substance…….. not less than eight days before racing (even though such period may be longer than is necessary in many instances) he should be able to feel that he has catered for all but the most exceptional cases’.

Each ml contains: Oxytetracycline 200mg Sodium formaldehyde sulphoxylate dehydrate 5mg Target Species Cattle and pigs. Uses Cyclosol LA is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by oxytetracycline sensitive microorganisms. Oxytetracycline exerts its action by inhibiting the protein synthesisof the bacterial cell especially cell-division and the formation of the cell wall are impaired. Contraindications, warnings etc. Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to the active substance. In case of a serious anaphylactic reaction the administration of epinephrine, antihistamines and/ or corticosteroids should be considered. Do not use by intravenous route. Do not use in animals with serious kidney and liver disturbances. Irritation may occur at the injection site for up to 4 days. Use of the product during pregnancy can result in tooth discolouration in the offspring of treated animals. Oxytetracycline should not be administered simultaneously with penicillins, cephalosporins, polyvalent cations or neuromuscular blocking agents. Dosage and Administration
It is strongly recommended to divide the intramuscular dosages over two or more injection site. Use of the product should be based on susceptibility testing of the bacteria isolated from the animal. If this is not possible, therapy should be based on local (regional, farm level) epidemiological information about susceptibility of the target bacteria. Use of the product deviating from the instructions given in the SPC may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to oxytetracycline and may decrease the effectiveness of treatment with tetracyclines, due to the potential for cross resistance. Cyclosol LA is indicated for (deep) intramuscular injection. 20 mg oxytetracycline per kg bodyweight. 1 ml per 10 kg bodyweight.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
CYPERGUARD Cypermethrin High Cis 10% w/w per ml Presentation
A pale yellow, clear, water miscible micro emulsion concentrate containing cypermethrin (cis/trans 80/20) 10% w/w, for dilution with water before use.
Uses
For the prevention and treatment of blowfly strike, lice, keds and ticks on sheep by plunge dipping after dilution of the product with water. For the prevention and treatment of sheep scab caused by pyrethroid sensitive mites.
Dosage and Administration
For blowfly, keds, ticks, lice and sheep scab. Initial dilution rate: 1 litre of dip to 500 litres water Replenishment: 1 litre of dip to 500 litres water. Do not dilute the product until it is actually required. To Prepare the Bath Baths should be accurately calibrated. Fill the bath with the required quantity of clean water. Pour the required measured volume of dip directly into the bath to give the required strength at a rate of 2 Litres of Cyperguard per 1000 litres (220 gallons) of water. Stir the bath thoroughly from end to end to ensure complete mixing. Replenishment Replenish after every 50 sheep dipped. The bath should be topped up to its original volume with water. Then add 20ml of dip concentrate for each 10 Litres of water added. Dipping Blowfly, Tick, Lice and Keds Immerse the sheep in the bath until the fleece is completely saturated with dip wash. All parts of the sheep except the head and ears must remain immersed for not less than thirty seconds. Plunge the head under at least twice, allowing time to breathe between plunges. To reduce the risk of Blowfly strike, control worms and treat all wounds. Skim off at regular intervals any scum which may form on the surface of the dipping bath. Blowfly A single treatment will provide up to 9 weeks control of Blowfly strike. Occasionally retreatment may be necessary after 4 to 9 weeks depending on the level of challenge, weather conditions, and timing of the first dipping. Sheep Scab, Its Cure and Prevention For the purposes of dipping against sheep scab, sheep must be totally immersed in a sheep bath of an approved sheep dip, and all parts of the sheep except the head and ears must remain immersed in the bath for a period which shall in no case be less than one minute. Plunge the head under at least once. To Prevent Fouling of the Bath It is important that the dip bath is emptied and thoroughly clean at the end of each days dipping or earlier if it becomes very dirty during the days dipping. Dip no more than one sheep for every 2 litres of the initial bath volume before the bath is completely emptied.
Contra-indications, Warnings etc.
Sheep should never be dipped on a full stomach, when the wool is wet, or when they are heated, tired, thirsty or suffering from wounds or open sores. Do not use where there is known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient. For best results sheep should not be dipped soon after shearing, but should have at least 3 weeks growth of wool. Choose a cool, dry day and dip early in the morning. Rest sheep 2 or 3 hours before dipping. Rams and fat sheep should be assisted through the bath and lambs dipped separately from the ewes. Care should be taken to ensure that the sheep do not swallow or inhale any wash. After dipping, sheep should be allowed to
stand in a bare, open space, under shade if possible, but never in an enclosed building. Do not dilute the product until it is actually required.
Withholding Periods
Following treatment with Cyperguard Sheep Dip, sheep may not be slaughtered for human consumption for 14 days. Animals must not be slaughtered for human consumption during treatment. The product must not be used on sheep producing milk for human consumption. To Avoid Post Dipping Lameness Post dipping lameness may occur when the sheep are dipped in dirty wash, or wash which has been allowed to stand in the bath overnight or longer. It is important that the dip bath should be emptied and thoroughly cleaned at the end of each days dipping or earlier if it becomes very dirty during the days dipping. SPECIAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY THE PERSON ADMINISTERING THE PRODUCT TO ANIMALS: Minimise operator contamination by good dipping facility design, eg fit splash boards where operators stand. Ensure that those using dips are competent to do so. 1 When handling concentrate including dip replenishment: 1 Do not use in an enclosed area and avoid inhaling vapour. 2 Wear non-lined, synthetic rubber gloves (heavyduty gauntlet style nitrile at least 300mm in length and 0.5mm thick), wellington boots, waterproof (made of nitrile or PVC) trousers or leggings and coat or bib-apron and a face shield when handling the concentrate. 3 Wash splashes of the dip concentrate from the skin and eyes and from protective clothing and equipment immediately. 4 Remove heavily contaminated clothing immediately and wash or destroy. 2 When working with diluted dips and freshly dipped sheep: 1 Dipping should only be carried out in a well ventilated area, preferably outdoors. 2 Wear non-lined, synthetic rubber gloves (heavyduty gauntlet style nitrile at least 300mm in length and 0.5mm thick) wellington boots, waterproof (made of nitrile or PVC) trousers or leggings and coat or bib-apron. 3 Accidental splashes on exposed skin should be washed off immediately. Wash hands, face and exposed skin immediately after leaving the work area, eg after dipping or for meal breaks. 4 Do not smoke, drink or eat during dipping without first withdrawing from the work area, removing protective clothing and washing hands, face and exposed skin. 5 Remove heavily contaminated clothing immediately and wash or destroy. 6 Check and replace any worn or damaged items or protective clothing. Wash measuring and dipping equipment after use. Protective clothing should be washed each day after dipping operations to prevent build up of chemicals in the materials. 3 Handling sheep in the weeks following dipping: Handle sheep as little as possible after dipping as dip residues remain on the sheep for some weeks following dipping. If you need to handle sheep, wear coveralls and wellington boots. If the sheep are wet, wear waterproof trousers and coat or bib-apron and wellington boots. Always wash hands and exposed skin with soap and
water after handling sheep or fleece and before eating, drinking and smoking. 4 Medical advice to users and doctors: Please note that Cyperguard is a nonorganophosphorus sheep dip. This product contains cypermethrin which is a synthetic pyrethroid. Cypermethrin is a potential skin sensitiser and may induce paraesthesia or tingling effects on exposed areas of human skin. Wash all accidental spillages of the concentrate and diluted dip off the skin immediately. If you feel unwell after working with this product consult your doctor and show this label. Doctors can obtain advice on clinical management from the Poisons Information Centre
Protection of the Environment
1 Dangerous to fish and other aquatic life. 2 Do not contaminate water including ponds, ditches, ground and surface waters. It is an offence to permit any poisonous, noxious or polluting matter to enter any river, stream or watercourse. 3. In order to protect aquatic life, it is important to ensure that sheep have an area where dip can drip from the fleece and drain back into the bath immediately after dipping and also that sheep do not enter or cross water courses while the fleece is still wet. Do not dip sheep near a watercourse. 4. Empty containers should not be re-used. Wash out thoroughly and place rinsings into the dip bath. Dispose of containers by approved means. Keep out of reach and sight of children and animals. 5. Only buy sufficient product for your immediate needs. Do not dispose of the dip concentrate on the farm. Any undiluted product should be disposed of by a reputable specialist waste disposal contractor. 6. Do not use soakaways as a means of disposal. If you have a suitable area of land, the spent dip wash may be disposed of by applying no more than 5,000 litres/hectare (450 gallons/acre) making sure that it cannot enter rivers, streams or lakes by run-off. Dilution of 1 part dip by 3 or more parts of water or slurry may be necessary to achieve this application rate. Remove livestock from the land before spreading. Alternatively, the spent dip should be disposed of by a reputable waste disposal contractor. HARMFUL IN CONTACT WITH SKIN AND IF SWALLOWED. IRRITATING TO EYES AND SKIN. FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. FOR ANIMAL TREATMENT ONLY. KEEP OUT OF REACH AND SIGHT OF CHILDREN.
Pharmaceutical Precautions
Do not store above 25째C. Protect from light. Do not mix with any product. Store in original container, tightly closed in a safe place under lock and key in a press dedicated to approved insecticides. Do not store diluted dip wash overnight. Discard the diluted product after the days dipping.

Dose Rate per Species (ml) kg Bodyweight Cattle 4.0 100 Sheep 1.0 25 Sow 3.0 75 Piglet 0.2 5 Do not exceed the stated dose
Contraindications and warnings Do not administer to animals known to be sensitive to penicillin. Do not use when it is known that penicillinase-producing staphylococcus organisms are present. Occasionally in sucking and fattening pigs, administration of products containing procaine penicillin may cause a transient pyrexia, vomiting, shivering, listlessness and incoordination. In pregnant sows and gilts a vulval discharge which could be associated with abortion has been reported. The maximum dose volume recommended at any one site for cattle is 20 ml. Withdrawal periods Withdrawal Period(s): Cattle: Meat : 21 days. Milk: 72 hours. Sheep: Meat: 21 days Milk: Not to be used in lactating ewes producing milk for human consumption. Pigs: Meat: 21 days. Animals are not to be slaughtered to produce meat for human consumption during treatment. Milk for human consumption is not to be taken from cows during treatment. Pharmaceutical Information and Precautions Contraindications: Do not administer to animals known to be sensitive to penicillin. Do not use when it is known that penicillinaseproducing staphylococcus organisms are
present. Special warnings: Occasionally in sucking and fattening pigs, administration of products containing procaine penicillin may cause a transient pyrexia, vomiting, shivering, listlessness and incoordination. In pregnant sows and gilts a vulval discharge which could be associated with abortion has been reported. The maximum dose volume recommended at any one site for cattle is 20ml. Special precautions for use in animals: Not for use in lactating ewes producing milk for human consumption. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals Penicillin and cephalosporins may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to penicillin may lead to cross sensitivity to cephalosporins and vice versa. Allergic reaction to those substances can occasionally be serious. Do not handle this product if you know you are sensitised or if you have been advised not to work with such preparations. Handle this product with great care to avoid exposure, taking all recommended precautions. If you develop symptoms following exposure, such as a skin rash, you should seek medical advice and show the doctor this warning. Swelling of the face, lips and eyes or difficulty with breathing are more serious symptoms and require urgent medical attention. Adverse reactions: Occasional allergies to penicillins have been observed but these are very rare. Hypersensitivity (allergic) reactions to penicillins can vary from localised swelling to anaphylaxis and death. Occasionally in sucking and fattening pigs administration of products containing procaine penicillin may cause transient pyrexia, vomiting, shivering, listlessness and incoordination. In pregnant sows and gilts a vulval discharge which could be associated with abortion has been reported. Procaine penicillin G can, under certain circumstances, be toxic and even lethal to pigs and this is thought to be due to a sudden release of toxic amounts of free procaine. The symptoms include shivering, lassitude, inappetence, vomiting, cyanosis of the extremities and pronounced pyrexia (40째C and over). A vulval discharge may appear and some animals may abort. Alarming sideeffects are most likely to occur when pigs with erysipelas are injected with an older and, or,
heataffected procaine penicillin formulation. Treatment with 5 mg dexamethasone will result in rapid recovery. Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay: Procaine penicillin and dihydrostreptomycin are safe for use in pregnant animals. Not for use in lactating ewes producing milk for human consumption. Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction: Tetracyclines are bacteriostatic antibiotics that presumably may interfere with a bactericidal agent such as penicillin. Since penicillin acts by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, agents such as tetracyclines, which inhibit protein synthesis, could mask the bactericidal effect of penicillin. If penicillin is used with a tetracycline, it would be prudent to observe the following points when possible: Be sure that adequate amounts of each agent are given; antagonism is most likely to occur when barely sufficient amounts of each agent are given. Begin administration of the penicillin at least a few hours before the administration of tetracycline. Shelf-life The shelf life is two years from the date of manufacture. Once a vial is broached, use the contents within four weeks. Special precautions for storage Do not store above 25째C. Do not freeze. Nature and composition of immediate packaging: Type II, Siliconised clear glass, 100 ml vials containing closed with rubber stoppers and sealed with aluminium seals. Special precautions for the disposal of unused veterinary medicinal products or waste materials: Unused product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with current practice for pharmaceutical waste under national disposal regulations.

D-MITE Presentation Presentation; 10L (2x 5L containers), Part A containing Dimethicone, Part B containing Spreading Agent (Turbomite). Uses Suitable for all types of poultry systems Control of Environmental levels of Redmite (Dermanyssus gallinae) within poultry units. Acts as a sticky trap for the mite, preventing movement and causing starvation Dosage and Administration • 125ml Part A and 125ml Part B added to 1L of water, thus 1L Part A and 1L Part B added to 8L of water to make 10L of spray solution. For greater volumes adjust the amounts of Part A and Part B accordingly. Stir/ shake the mixture thoroughly. Once mixed use within twelve hours. • Depending on the type of house and the internal configuration within the house that is selected, as the Trial House, the application regime will vary. • Caged houses: start spraying the uppermost cages and work along the upper level in the being sprayed and then moving down a level once the end of the row is reached. • All surfaces, where red mites are normally found during the day (when they have left the birds) and surrounding area such, under drinkers/feeding troughs, upright posts etc should be thoroughly sprayed. • As sizes of cages will vary, it is not possible to determine exactly how much of the working solution of D-Mite should be sprayed, but a good estimate is 11.7ml per bird or 1 litre for each 85 birds. • Barn type houses where the birds are not caged, the following areas should be treated.
• Always start at the highest point where the birds frequent (such as perches, nest boxes etc) and apply the spray along the highest level first, working downwards, ensuring coverage of all roosting areas and laying boxes as well as any other areas where mite are known to congregate. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices in slatted floors, where spray should also be applied. The application rate can be adjusted depending on the level of debris matter etc present, but it is recommended that a minimum of 1 litre of working solution be applied per 20 square metres of surface being treated. Contra-indications, Warnings, etc. Safe for use when poultry present Do not directly spray birds Due to the oily nature of the ingredients some surfaces could be slightly slip before they dry. Take necessary precautions if this is the case.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
ECTOSPEC Cypermethrin Technical 2.5%w/v Presentation A clear, pale yellow, oily solution containing a 2.5% w/v Cypermethrin technical (93%) (cis:trans 50:50) for topical administration as a pour on application. Uses For the control of lice and flies on cattle. Dosage and Administration For topical administration as a pour on. Fly control Apply a single 10ml dose at the onset of the fly season and repeat as necessary at 5 to 8 week intervals. Frequency of administration may, however, have to be varied depending on the level and type of infestation. The 10ml dose should be applied at an even rate along the backline from the crown of the head to the top of the rump. Lice Control A single 10ml dose is normally sufficient to control lice. A few lice may survive on a small minority of animals. In cases of heavy challenge, if necessary, a repeat dose may be applied after 4 weeks. Remove the cap from the chamber and gently squeeze the required amount into the chamber. Release the pressure from the container and pour as directed. The 10ml dose should be applied at an even rate along the backline from the crown of the head to the top of the rump.
Contra-indications, Warnings, etc. For animal treatment only. Do not treat calves under 7 days of age. Not to be used in animals known to be sensitive to the active ingredient. Undesirable Effects (General) Occasionally, slight signs of discomfort may be observed in some cattle during the 48 hours following application. These side effects are only temporary and have no long-term implications. Use during Pregnancy and Lactation The active has a low oral toxicity and very little transdermal absorption is expected, and to date there has been no reported complications in pregnancy or lactation. Interaction with Other Medicaments and other Forms of interactions It is not anticipated that Ectospec will interact with any of the medicines commonly administered to cattle.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
ECTOFLITS Presentation A clear yellow coloured liquid containing Diazinon 60% w/v TARGET SPECIES Sheep. INDICATIONS FOR USE, SPECIFYING THE TARGET SPECIES Sheep: For the prevention and treatment of Blowfly Strike, Ticks, Keds, Lice, and Scab infestations. CONTRAINDICATIONS None SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR TARGET SPECIES Sheep should never be dipped on a full stomach, when the wool is wet, or when they are heated, tired, thirsty, or suffering from wounds or open sores. Choose a cool dry day and dip early in the morning. Rams and fat sheep should be assisted through the bath and lambs dipped separately from the ewes. Care should be taken to ensure that the sheep do not swallow or inhale any wash. As this is an organophosphorus sheep dip, an interval of at least 14 days should elapse between dipping and dosing with any drench, etc. containing levamisole or an organophosphorus compound. TO AVOID POST DIPPING LAMENESS Post dipping lameness may occur when the sheep are dipped in dirty wash, or wash which has been allowed to stand in the bath overnight or longer. It is important that the dip bath should be emptied and thoroughly cleaned at the end of each days dipping or earlier if it becomes very dirty during the day’s dipping.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE i. Special precautions for use in animals For external use only.
One pair of gloves, one laminated dispensing kit instruction card and one laminated sheep dipping safety card are supplied with each container of Ectoflits. The dip concentrate container is fitted with a sealed closure incorporating a male inlet Quick Acting Shut-off coupling (QASC), a female outlet QASC and a draw tube that extends from beneath the outlet QASC to the marked corner of the container. When the container is fitted correctly into the dispensing kit, the tilt mechanism allows withdrawal of the maximum amount of dip concentrate from the container. The dip concentrate in the container must be dispensed directly into the dip tank only by using the Ectoflits Dispensing Kit. Follow the instructions provided with the dispensing kit for fitting it onto the container and for dispensing the dip concentrate safely. A re-usable dispensing kit must be purchased in order to use Ectoflit Sheep dip. Each kit must contain the following components: · 1x dispensing gun with tubing and 2x connectors (1x male and 1x female) attached, · 1x dispensing base-plate plus
1x dispensing tube with 1x female connector attached and 1x rinsing tube with 1x male connector and 1x non-return valve attached, · 1x laminated card, bearing instructions for the correct use of the dispensing kit. The product must be dispensed only by use of this kit, in accordance with the instructions on the dispensing kit laminated instruction card. If part-used containers of the product are to be kept for future use, the dispensing kit must be removed, washed and stored as per the instructions, and the original cap must be replaced securely on the product container. The dispensing kit must not be used for any other purpose. The instructions for use of the dispensing kit read as follows: Ectoflits concentrate must be dispensed only by using this kit. Read the directions for use printed on the product container before using this kit. It is essential that the advice on wearing protective clothing is strictly adhered to at all times when handling new or part-used containers of sheep dip concentrate, when using the dispensing kit and when washing used concentrate containers and the dispensing kit. This kit is re-usable. It should not be used for any other purpose. It should be washed and stored as directed on the instruction card. DISPENSING DIP PRODUCT i) Preparation for dipping. Place the dip concentrate container into the cage on the base-plate so that the coloured corner of the container label is aligned with the coloured corner of the base-plate. This will tilt the container to allow withdrawal of the maximum amount of dip concentrate. Place the dispensing base-plate on level ground at the edge of the dip tank and feed the dispensing hose through the hole in the base-plate so that the hose hangs down into the dip tank. Where splashboards are fitted the base-plate should be sited so that the dispensing hose is fed through an existing gap in the barrier. For extra security the baseplate can be attached to a solid object near to the edge of the dip tank using twine or wire threaded through the cage at the rear of the base plate. ii) Initial fill of dip concentrate into dip bath (see Fig. A): Connect gun inlet hose (2) to container outlet valve (1) and connect gun outlet (3) to dispensing hose (5). Carefully pump the trigger of the gun until the gun reservoir and outlet tubes are full of product. Then dispense the required number of 60 ml volumes of dip concentrate for initial charging of the dip tank (see container label for details). The dispensing gun is fixed to deliver 60 ml only and is sealed for safety reasons. It must not be disassembled. When filling the gun reservoir, to ensure accuracy, it is important to wait until the plunger has returned completely before dispensing the dip concentrate. It is recommended that the operator keeps a tally of the number of volumes dispensed. After every ten x 60
ml dispensings, using a dry gloved finger, press down on the top of container inlet valve (4) for a few seconds (see Fig. B). This is to allow air to enter the container to relieve any negative pressure. iii) Replenishment of dip bath with product: (see Figures A & B) Replenishment with one 60 ml delivery of concentrate treats 12 sheep. Baths less than 2250 litres (500 gallons) must be replenished after every 36 sheep dipped (3x60 ml deliveries from the dispensing gun) and the bath must be filled with water to its original level. Baths of 2250 litres (500 gallons) or more must be replenished after every 96 sheep dipped (8x60 ml deliveries from the dispensing gun) and the bath must be filled with water to its original level. Approaching the end of the days dipping, when replenishing the dip bath for the final time, carry out the first 1x60 ml delivery for a bath less than 2250 litres (or the first 6x60 ml deliveries for a bath greater than 2250 litres) and allow the gun to refill by releasing the trigger. Then disconnect gun inlet hose (2) from container outlet valve (1) and connect gun inlet hose (2) to hose (6) ensuring that the non-return valve (7) on the end of the hose is secured to the clip (8) on the carrying handle (see Fig. C). Now pump the gun two more times and the final 120 ml of dip concentrate will be delivered into the dip bath. Replace transit cap onto the part used container. Now follow instructions on how to wash and store the dispensing kit (see ‘Washing Instructions’). iv) To change containers during dipping: If a container is emptied during dipping disconnect gun inlet hose (2) from empty container outlet valve (1). Immediately re-connect to a new container and carefully pump the trigger of the gun until the reservoir is full. When disconnected, do not try to operate the delivery gun until the correct connections (step ii) have been made. Store the empty container safely until the end of the day’s dipping. Do not rinse empty containers until the end of the day’s dipping (see ‘Washing Instructions’). This is to avoid the possibility of the introduction of water into part-filled dip concentrate containers. Even very small amounts of water can affect the long-term stability of the dip concentrate.

1. Presentation A clear blue non-aqueous solution containing 1.25%w/v High Cis (80:20) Cypermethrin for the prevention and treatment of Blowfly Strike, Lice, Ticks and Headflies on Sheep. 2. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 2.1 Target Species Sheep. 2.2 Indications for use, Specifying the Target Species For the treatment and control of headflies, and treatment of ticks and biting lice in sheep. For the prevention and treatment of blowfly strike in sheep. 2.3 Contraindications Not to be used in lambs less than one week old. For the prevention of blowfly strike; do not administer to animals of less than 12.5 kg bodyweight. Avoid treating very young lambs if the weather is unseasonably hot. 2.4 Special Warnings for Each Target Species None 2.5 Special Precautions For Use i) Special precautions for use in animals Ectofly 1.25% w/v Pour-On minimises mothering-up problems after treatment. However, care must be taken not to apply the product right to the lamb’s tail, as a ewe recognises a young lamb partly by the smell of the tail area. Blowflies are attracted by dirty, damp wool or open wounds. The more common site for fly strike is the rump due to soiling caused by diarrhoea and urine staining. The efficacy of Ectofly 1.25% w/v Pour-On is reduced in the presence of soiled or dirty wool. Therefore, sheep must be crutched (dagged) regularly and appropriate worm control measures employed. Take care not to apply product in the sheep’s eyes. This precaution should be observed particularly when treating breeds with little wool on their heads. Full operating and maintenance instructions, including details on the use of nozzles are supplied with each applicator gun. Please read carefully before use. Maintain applicator gun carefully to ensure accurate dosage. For external use only. ii) Special Precautions to be taken by the person administering the product to animals Make sure when attaching the recommended applicator gun onto the container that the coiled retainer is secured onto the cap and the applicator. Wear eye protection, protective clothing, rubber gloves and boots when applying the product. Wear a dust mask when applying as a fan-spray for the prevention of blowfly-strike. Wash splashes from skin and eyes immediately with plenty of clean water. If irritation persists seek medical advice immediately Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash exposed skin with plenty of clean water. Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst using the product. Wash hands and exposed skin before eating, drinking or smoking and after work. Use in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling the vapour. iii) Other precautions As a precautionary measure sheep must be kept away from watercourses for at least one hour following treatment (see section 5.3, ‘Environmental properties).
2.6 Adverse Reactions (frequency and seriousness) None known. 2.7 Use during pregnancy or lactation No restrictions. Pregnant ewes must be handled with care. 2.8 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction The product must be applied only with the recommended applicator gun, as the product may have a detrimental effect on certain components of conventional dosing guns. 2.9 Amounts to be administered and administration route On completion of each treatment cycle of the product and before the dosing gun is stored, immediately expel any remaining product in the dosing gun. Administer by means of the recommended applicator gun as follows: Blowflies: PREVENTION OF BLOWFLY STRIKE Bodyweight Dose Doses per litre Up to 25 kg* 20 ml 50 25 to 40 kg 30 ml 33 Over 40 kg 40 ml 25 *Do not administer to animals of less than 12.5 kg bodyweight. Apply as a fan-spray to the surface of the fleece on the back and hindquarters of the sheep using the Pour-On Gun fitted with the fan-spray nozzle. Half the dose should be applied to the shoulders, back and flanks, and half to the rump. The distance between the nozzle and the fleece should be approximately 20 cm. Each dose will require 2 or 3 sweeps to apply. THE PRODUCT WILL PREVENT BLOWFLY STRIKE ONLY ON AREAS COVERED BY SPRAY. One application will give 6-8 weeks protection. Re-treat as required. Treatment of blowfly strike Apply directly to all the affected parts at the rate of 2.5 ml per 100 –150 cm2 (roughly the size of a hand). The T-bar nozzle should be used. Most strikes will require 5-10 ml. Ensure that all affected parts are treated. A single application is sufficient to ensure that larvae are expelled and killed within a few hours. Lice: 5 ml per 20 kg bodyweight up to a maximum of 20 ml. Bodyweight Up to 20 kg 21 to 40 kg 41 to 60 kg Over 60 kg

Special precautions for use
i) Special precautions for use in animals Shake the bottle well before use to bring the product back into suspension. In case of the occurrence of allergic reaction the treatment should be withdrawn. Inappropriate use of the product may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to cephalosporins. Use of the product should be based on susceptibility testing and take into account official and local antimicrobial policies. ii) Special precaution to be taken by the person administering the
medicinal product to animals Penicillins and cephalosporins may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) following injection, inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Hypersensitivity to penicillins may lead to cross reactions to cephalosporins and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may occasionally be serious. People with known hypersensitivity to penicillins or cephalosporins should avoid contact with the product. In the case of accidental self-injection or following exposure, if you develop symptoms such as a skin rash, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician. Swelling of the face, lips or eyes or difficulty with breathing are more serious symptoms and require urgent medical attention.
Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
Hypersensitivity reactions unrelated to dose can occur. Allergic reactions (e.g. skin reactions, anaphylaxia) may occasionally occur. In swine, mild reactions at the injection site, such as discoloration of the fascia or fat, have been observed in some animals for up to 20 days after injection. In cattle, mild inflammatory reactions at the injection site, such as tissue oedema and discoloration of the subcutaneous tissue and/or fascial surface of the muscle may be observed. Clinical resolution is reached in most animals by 10 days after injection although slight tissue discoloration may persist for 28 days or more.

Dosage and Administration For direct oral administration only. One syringe per 600kg bodyweight as a single dose (which is equivalent to one syringe mark per 100kg bodyweight).
Control and treatment of Strongyles, Oxyuris and Parascaris:
Embotape should be used at a dose rate of 19mg pyrantel embonate per kg bodyweight. The dosing programmes are as follows: A Foals (1 - 8 months of age): dose every 4 weeks. B Horses (over 8 months of age): dose every 6 - 8 weeks, but during the summer and autumn when at grass dose every 4 - 6 weeks. Always dose 3 - 4 days before turning out after in-wintering. C Suckler mares: It has been shown that reduction of strongyle challenge to the suckling foal at pasture can be achieved by using clean pasture (re-seeded or not grazed the previous year by horses), dosing the mare 3 - 4 days before turning out and then at intervals of 2 - 4 weeks until the end of Autumn. Ideally mares with foals should go out to clean pasture or, if this is not possible, delay turning them out until June. The prescribed amount of Embotape is deposited on the tongue of the animal and the animal allowed to swallow. The complete content of one syringe contains 11.4g pyrantel embonate (6 graduated doses of 1.9g) in 28.5g paste and is sufficient for the treatment of 600kg bodyweight. Each graduation of the syringe is sufficient for the treatment of 100kg bodyweight.
Control and treatment of anoplocephala (tapeworm):
Embotape should be used at a dose rate of 38mg pyrantel embonate per kg bodyweight (ie twice the dose used for strongyles). The need for retreatment may vary, but if considered necessary, should be carried out after an interval of 6 weeks.
Contra-indications, Warnings, etc.
The same syringe should only be used to dose two animals if they are both healthy and are either grazing together, or are on the same premises and in direct contact with each other. Impaction of the small intestine may occur in foals heavily infected with Ascarids. Colic symptoms may be seen as soon as 30 minutes after treatment. Do not use in severely debilitated animals. Do not use in horses with known sensitivity to the active ingredient. In case of diminished efficacy consult a veterinarian.
known to be hypersensitive to pyrantel.
Withdrawal Periods
Horses may be slaughtered for human consumption only after 7 days from the last treatment.
Storage Precautions

CONTRAINDICATIONS Known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient. SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES Cattle suffering from severe lung damage due to heavy lungworm infestation may continue to cough for some weeks after treatment. Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk of development of resistance and could ultimately result in ineffective therapy: Too frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics from the same class, over an extended period of time. Underdosing, which may be due to underestimation of body weight, misadministration of the product, or lack of calibration of the dosing device (if any). Suspected clinical cases of resistance to anthelmintics should be further investigated using appropriate tests (e.g. Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test). Where the results of the test(s) strongly suggest resistance to a particular anthelmintic, an anthelmintic belonging to another pharmacological class and having a different mode of action should be used. Resistance to benzimidazoles (which includes albendazole) has been reported in Cooperia, Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, and Teladorsagia species in small ruminants in a number of countries, including the EU. Resistance to albendazole

Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction Potentiated sulfonamides used in conjunction with detomidine are known to be able to cause fatal arrhythmias in the horse.
Amounts to be administered and administration route
trimethoprim
sulfadiazine Administration route: Oral use.Posology: 5 mg trimethoprim and 25 mg sulfadiazine per kg body weight per day to a maximum of 5 days. One syringe is intended for 600 kg bodyweight and each syringe is subdivided into 12 markings. The equivalent of one marking is sufficient to treat 50 kg of bodyweight and the minimum body weight for treatment is 50 kg. Directions for use Horse weight should be accurately determined for the correct use of the paste. The calculated dose is provided by adjusting the ring on the plunger according to the body weight of the horse. The paste is administered orally by inserting the nozzle of the syringe through the interdental space and depositing the required amount of paste on the back of the tongue. The animal’s mouth should be free of any food. Immediately after administration, elevate the head of the horse for a few seconds to ensure the dose is swallowed. 4.10 Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary Not known.
Withdrawal period(s)
Meat and offal: 14 days Not permitted for use in mares producing milk for human consumption.
Pharmacodynamic properties
Both active substances produce a sequential double blockade of bacterial synthesis of folic acid. This results in a synergistic and bactericidal action inhibiting sequential steps in the synthesis of purines, which are required for DNA synthesis. The combination has a broad action against many Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria such as staphylococci, streptococci and E.coli.
Pharmacokinetic particulars
After a single oral administration of 5 mg trimethoprim and 25 mg sulfadiazine per kg body weight to horses, the following parameters (mean ± sd) were observed: Food intake appeared to affect the pharmacokinetic profile as both Cmax (mg/ml)

trimethoprim and sulfadiazine have been absorbed more rapidly in fasted horses. Excretion of both actives is chiefly by the kidneys, by both glomerular filtration, and tubular secretion. Urine concentrations of both trimethoprim and sulfadiazine are severalfold higher than blood concentrations. Neither trimethoprim nor sulfadiazine interferes with the excretion pattern of the other.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
FLEE
Flee Household Flea Spray FLEE When this is sprayed on a flea, it evaporates off after 20 minutes, leaving a gum/glue on the outer skin of the parasite. Staining on household surfaces is minimal and the ‘wet look’ usually fades once dry. FLEE does not feel sticky to touch. It is non-insecticidal and non-pesticidal. It is effective against adults, larvae, eggs and pupae. As a result, adults and mobile larvae are ‘glued up’ (adults within 1 min, larvae in 10mins) and eventually die of starvation. Eggs and Pupae are coated in sticky layer and continue to physically develop but cannot emerge from their chitin sac. FLEE also ‘Glues’ adult dust mites and their integumentary material (debris and faeces). Due to its non-insecticidal mode of action, resistance is not an issue. The adhesive effects of FLEE persist for 6 days in deep carpet, immobilising all adults and larvae for 6 days after application. It is not orally toxic to pets. FLEE has very low toxic levels in general. It is not absorbed following oral/ dermal exposure. FLEE reduces dust mite allergens (Thornton & Ross). This product is effective for at least 6 weeks (reapply every 6 weeks at the most). Vacuuming is NOT required after application. You do not need to treat the whole house, merely the areas in contact with your Pet. DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Shake can well before use. Direct nozzle approximately 40 cm from the surface you want to treat and away from your body. Using a sweeping motion to ensure uniform delivery, apply a 14 second spray per square metreon carpets, upholstered furniture and pet bedding. If spraying large areas shake can occasionally to maintain an even distribution of product. Wash your hands after use.
YOU DO NOT need to ventilate the room after application. Not orally toxic to pets. Very low toxic levels in general. Not absorbed following oral/dermal exposure. FLEE reduces dust mite allergens (Thornton & Ross). FLEE is effective for at least 6 weeks (re-apply every 6 weeks at the most). Vacuuming is NOT required after application. Does not need to treat whole house, merely areas in contact with Pet. DO NOT need to ventilate the room after application PRECAUTIONS: Keep away from food and drinks. Avoid eye contact. If your eyes are accidentally affected, flush with plenty of clean water. Seek medical advice if irritation persists. Due to the oily nature of the ingredients, some surfaces could be slightly slippery before they dry. Take necessary precautions if this is the case. FLEE can be used on most surfaces.However, before use on large surfaces or potentially delicate fabrics such as leather, we recommend that you test a small, out-of-sight area to check the suitability of the product with the material.

Pharmacodynamic properties Hyspan acts locally on the gastrointestinal tract. Neomycin sulphate is an antibiotic which is poorly absorbed from the gut and is thus present in maximum concentration at the site of infection. The electrolytes restore electrolyte balance and relieve dehydration. Glucose monohydrate is an immediate source of energy which enhances the absorption of electrolytes and water thus speeding rehydration. Shelf life Shelf-life of the veterinary medicinal product as packaged for sale: 3 years. Special precautions for storage Store below 25째C.

In the case of colic a supplementary dose may only be given after a thorough clinical examination. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals. Avoid splashes on the skin and eyes. Irrigate thoroughly with water should this occur. ADVERSE REACTIONS (frequency and seriousness) Repeated intramuscular injections can cause temporary irritation. Due to its mechanism of action including inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, ketoprofen can cause gastric and intestinal irritation or ulceration. Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay. Studies of the effect of ketoprofen in pregnant laboratory animals and cattle have not produced any evidence of adverse effects. The effect on pregnant mares or sows has not been established. Concurrent administration with other non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs and steroids is to be avoided. Ketoprofen can counteract the diuretic effect of
loop diuretics. Concurrent treatment with anticoagulants should be avoided because of the increased risk of haemorrhage. WITHDRAWAL PERIODS Meat and offal: Cattle 4 days, pigs 4 days, horses 4 days, Milk: Zero days. NOTE Ketoprofen, in common with other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatorys is not permitted by Racing Authorities of Great Britain and Ireland to be used at the time of racing. Ketoprofen or its conjugates can be detected in urine for up to 10 days after treatment (analytical sensitivity of 50ng/ml). An interval of 15 days from cessation of treatment should ensure that the drug is undetectable in most horses. PHARMACEUTICAL INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory/antirheumatic agent (NSAID). The active component of NEFOTEK is ketoprofen, a substance belonging to the group non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Ketoprofen has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic properties. Not all aspects of its mechanism of action are known. Effects are obtained partially by the inhibition of prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis by ketoprofen, acting on cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase respectively. The formation of bradykinin is also inhibited. Ketoprofen inhibits thrombocyte aggregation. List of excipients L Arginine, Benzyl alcohol, Citric acid monohydrate, Water for injections In the absence of compatibility studies, NEFOTEK must not be mixed with other medicinal products.

Each ml contains 100mg Oxyteracycline (as oxytetracycline hydrochloride) and 20mg Flunixin ( as flunixin meglumine) TARGET SPECIES Cattle. INDICATIONS FOR USE For the control and treatment of infectious diseases of cattle caused by or associated with organisms sensitive to oxytetracycline, where concurrent analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiendotoxic or antipyretic therapy is desired. The product is especially indicated for the treatment of respiratory disease (particularly that associated with Mannheimia and Pasteurella infection) and acute mastitis (in conjunction with appropriate intramammary therapy) CONTRAINDICATIONS Do not administer other NSAIDs concurrently or within 24 hours of each other. Use is contra-indicated in animals suffering from cardiac, hepatic or renal disease, where there is the possibility of gastro-intestinal ulceration or bleeding, where there is evidence of a blood dyscrasia or hypersensitivity to the product. SPECIAL WARNINGS FOR EACH TARGET SPECIES Some NSAIDs may be highly bound to plasma proteins and compete with other highly bound drugs to produce an increase in non-bound pharmacologically active concentrations, which can lead to toxic effects. Rapid intraveneous injection in cattle may occasionally cause cardiovascular collapse. Use in any animal less than 6 weeks of age or in aged animals may involve additional risk. If such use cannot be avoided animals may require a reduced dosage and careful clinical management. Avoid use in any dehydrated, hypovolaemic or hypotensive animal as there is a potential risk of renal toxicity. It is preferable that flunixin is not administered to animals undergoing general anaesthesia until fully recovered. Concurrent administration of methoxyflurane anaesthesia or other potentially nephrotoxic drugs should be avoided.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE i. Special precautions for use in animals Do not exceed the stated dose or duration of treatment. ii. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals Avoid eye contact and direct contact with skin. To avoid possible sensitisation reactions, avoid contact with skin. Gloves should be worn during application. Wash hands after use. In case of accidental contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. The product may cause reactions in sensitive individuals. If you have known hypersensitivity for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory products, do not handle the product. Reactions may be serious. Avoid accidental self-injection. ADVERSE REACTIONS Prolonged use of NSAIDs, including flunixin, may predispose or lead to gastrointestinal ulceration. USE DURING PREGNANCY, LACTATION OR LAY Reports of teratogenicity, effects on breeding performance, or gestation lengths have not been noted following use of flunixin. Use with care in pregnant animals. The use of tetracyclines during the period of tooth development, including late pregnancy, may lead to tooth discolouration. INTERACTION WITH OTHER MEDICINAL PRODUCTS AND OTHER FORMS OF INTERACTIONS The product may potentiate the effects of Warfarin and related drugs. Because of their common mode of action, flunixin may potentiate and be potentiated by other NSAIDs which act by interfering with prostaglandin synthesis. AMOUNTS TO BE ADMINISTERED AND ADMINISTRATION ROUTE 1 ml per 10 kg bodyweight (equivalent to 10 mg oxytetracycline and 2 mg flunixin per kg bodyweight) daily for up to 5 days. The first injection should be administered intravenously, slowly, with subsequent injections given intramuscularly. Do not inject more than 20 ml intramuscularly at a single site.

In-use shelf life is 28 days.
Precautions and warnings:
Oxytocin should not be given simultaneously by more then one route of administration. When oxytocin is administered in excessive dosage, hyperstimulation of the uterus with strong (hypertonic) and/or prolonged (tetanic) contractions, or an increased uterine tone between the contractions may occur, possibly resulting in uterine rupture, cervical and vaginal lacerations,postpartum haemorrhage, placental separation, impaired uterine blood flow, amniotic fluid embolism and foetal trauma including intracranial haemorrhage. Excessive doses of oxytocin may delay parturition by producing uncoordinated uterine contractions, which interfere with the progress of the foetus especially in multiple pregnancies. When oxytocin is used as an aid to parturition, cervical dilation must be confirmed prior to administration to prevent the risk of foetal death and possible uterine rupture. If uterine hyperactivity occurs, oxytocin administration should be immediately discontinued. Adrenaline at physiological levels markedly reduces the effect of oxytocin on the uterus or mammary gland. For this reason the animal should not be frightened when complete oxytocin effect is desired to cause either milk “letdown” or uterine contractions. Avoid the introduction of contamination

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
RAPIDEXON 2 mg/ml SOLUTION FOR INJECTION Presentation
A clear colourless solution practically free from particles. Each ml contains: Dexamethasone (as Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate) 2.0 mg
Target Species Horses, cattle, pigs, cats and dogs.
Uses
In horses, cattle, pigs, dogs and cats: Dexamethasone may be used for the treatment of inflammatory or allergic conditions. In cattle: Treatment of primary ketosis (acetonaemia). Induction of parturition. In horses: Treatment of arthritis, bursitis or tenosynovitis.
Contraindications, warnings etc.
Except in emergency situations, do not use in animals suffering from diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency, cardiac insufficiency, hyperadrenocorticism or osteoporosis. Do not use in viral infections during the viraemic stage or in cases of systemic mycotic infections. Do not use in animals suffering from gastrointestinal or corneal ulcers, or demodicosis. Do not administer intra-articularly where there is evidence of fractures, bacterial joint infections and aseptic bone necrosis. Do not use in known cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance, to corticosteroids and to any other ingredient of the product. If the veterinary medicinal product is used for induction of parturition in cattle, then a high incidence of retained placentae may be experienced and possible subsequent metritis and/or subfertility. Administration in early pregnancy is known to have caused foetal abnormalities in laboratory animals. Administration in late pregnancy is likely to cause abortion or early parturition in ruminants and may have a similar effect in other species. Use of the veterinary medicinal product in lactating cows may cause a reduction in milk yield. Response to long-term therapy should be monitored at regular intervals by a veterinary surgeon. Use of corticosteroids in horses has been reported to induce laminitis. Therefore horses treated with such preparations should be monitored frequently during the treatment period.
Because of the pharmacological properties of the active ingredient, special care should be taken when the product is used in animals with a weakened immune system. Following intra-articular administration, use of the joint should be minimized for one month and surgery on the joint should not be performed within eight weeks of use of this route of administration. Only the 25 ml vial should be used to treat cats, dogs and small piglets to prevent excessive puncturing of the closure.
Dosage and Administration
Horses, cattle, pigs 0.06 mg/kg body weight corresponding to 1.5 ml/50 kg Dog, cat 0.1 mg/kg body weight corresponding to 0.5 ml/10 kg For intravenous, intramuscular, intraarticular intrabursal or local administration in horses. For intramuscular injection in cattle, pigs, dogs and cats. Doses may be repeated once at 24-48 hour intervals if required. Injection sites should be alternated. Care should be taken not to overdose Channel Island breeds. Larger doses will be required if the signs have been present for some time or if relapsed animals are being treated. For the induction of parturition - 0.04 mg/kg body weight corresponding to 10 ml per cow as a single intramuscular injection after day 270 of pregnancy. Parturition will normally occur within 48-72 hours. If calving does not occur within these periods the dose may be repeated. For the treatment of arthritis, bursitis or tenosynovitis by single intra-articular, intrabursal or local injection in the horse: Dosage 1-5 ml. Injections into joint spaces or bursae should be preceded by the removal of an equivalent volume of synovial fluid. Strict asepsis is essential.
Operator Warnings
In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet to the physician. People with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or any of the excipients should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product. Pregnant women should not handle this veterinary medicinal product.
Adverse reactions
Corticosteroids are known to exert a wide range of side-effects. Whilst single high doses are generally well tolerated, they may induce severe adverse reactions with long term use and when esters possessing a long duration of action are administered. Dosage in medium to long term use should therefore generally be kept to the minimum necessary to control clinical signs.
Incompatibilities
In the absence of compatibility studies this veterinary medicinal product must not be mixed with other veterinary medicinal products.
Overdose
An overdose can induce drowsiness and lethargy in horses. Withdrawal Period(s) Cattle meat and offal: 7 days milk: 72 hours Pig meat and offal: 2 days Horse meat and offal: 11 days.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Sedaxylan 20 mg/ml Presentation
Clear and colourless solution for injection. Each ml contains: Xylazine (base) 20.0 mg Equivalent to 23.32 mg xylazine hydrochloride
Target Species
Dogs, cats, horses and cattle.
Contraindications, warnings etc.
Horses: Xylazine inhibits the normal intestinal motility. Therefore, it should only be used in horses with colic, that are not responsive to analgesics. The use of xylazine should be avoided in horses with caecal malfunction. After treatment of horses with xylazine, the animals are reluctant to walk. So whenever possible the drug should be administered in the place where the treatment/investigation is going to take place. Caution should be taken in the administration of the product to horses susceptible to laminitis. Horses with air way disease or malfunction may develop life-threatening dyspnoea. Cats and dogs: Xylazine inhibits the normal intestinal motility. This may make xylazine sedation undesirable for upper gastrointestinal radiographs, because it promotes filling of the stomach with gas and makes interpretation less certain. Brachycephalic dogs with air way disease or malfunction may develop life-threatening dyspnoea. Cattle: Ruminants are highly susceptible to the effects of xylazine. Normally cattle remain standing at the lower doses, but some animals may lie down. At the highest recommended doses most animals will lie down and some animals may relapse in lateral recumbency. Reticulo-ruminal motor functions are depressed after injection of xylazine. It is advisable to withhold feed and water for several hours before administration of xylazine. In cattle the ability to eructate, cough and swallow is reduced during the period of sedation, therefore cattle must be closely watched during the recovery period: the animals should be maintained in sternal recumbency. In cattle life threatening effects may occur after intramuscular doses above 0.5 mg/kg body weight (respiratory and circulatory failure). Therefore very precise dosing is required. In case of dehydration, xylazine should be used cautiously. Emesis is generally seen within 3-5 minutes after xylazine administration in cats and dogs. It is advisable to fast dogs and cats for 12 hours prior to surgery; they may have free access to drinking water. Do not exceed the recommended
dosage. Following administration animals should be allowed to rest quietly until the full effect has been reached. It is advised to cool animals when the ambient temperature is above 25°C and to keep animals warm at low temperatures. In painful procedures xylazine should always be used in combination with a local or general analgesic. Xylazine produces a certain degree of ataxia. Therefore, xylazine must be used cautiously in procedures involving the distal extremities and in standing castrations in the horse. Treated animals should be monitored until the effect has faded totally (e.g. cardiac and respiratory function, also in the post-operative phase). Do not use in the later stages of pregnancy (particularly in cattle and cats), because xylazine causes uterine contractions and it may induce premature labour. Do not use in cattle receiving ovum transplants as the increased uterine tone may reduce the chance of implantation of the ovum.
Dosage and Administration
This product is intended for single intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection dependent upon the species in which it is to be used. First effects are usually seen within 2 minutes following intravenous injection and within 5 to 10 minutes after intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. The maximum effect is seen 10 minutes later. Accurately ascertain the body weight of an animal before treatment with xylazine Dogs: 1.0 - 2.0 mg per kg body weight intramuscularly or subcutaneously 0.5 – 1.0 ml injection solution/10 kg body weight IM or SC 0.7 - 1.0 mg per kg body weight intravenously. 0.35 – 0.5 ml injection solution/10 kg body weight IV Cats: 0.5 - 1.0 mg per kg body weight intramuscularly or subcutaneously. 0.125 – 0.25 ml injection solution/ 5 kg body weight IM or SC Horses: 0.5 - 1.0 mg per kg body weight intravenously. 2.5 – 5.0 ml injection solution/100 kg body weight IV Cattle: 0.05 – 0.20 mg per kg body weight intramuscularly or 0.25 – 1.0 ml injection solution/100 kg body weight IM 0.03 – 0.10 mg per kg body weight intravenously. 0.15 – 0.5 ml injection solution/100 kg body weight IV
Operator Warnings
In the case of accidental oral intake
or self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the package insert to the physician. DO NOT DRIVE as sedation and changes in blood pressure may occur. Avoid skin contact and wear impermeable gloves when handling the product. Wash the exposed skin immediately after exposure with large amounts of water. In the case of accidental projection of the product into the eyes, rinse abundantly with fresh water. If irritation persists, seek the advice of a physician. Pregnant women should not handle the product.
Overdose
In the event of an accidental overdose, cardiac arrhythmias, hypotension, and profound CNS and respiratory depression may occur. Seizures have also been reported after an overdose. Xylazine can be antagonized by α2-adrenergic antagonists: atipamezole has been found to be a useful antidote in some cases. The recommended dosage is: 0.2 mg/kg for dogs and cats, 0.15 mg/kg for horses and 0.03 mg/kg for cattle. To treat the respiratory depressant effects of xylazine, mechanical respiratory support with or without respiratory stimulants (e.g. doxapram) can be recommended. Withdrawal Period(s) Horse (meat) - One day. Cattle (meat) - One day. Cattle (milk) - Zero days.
Incompatibilities
Sedaxylan should not be mixed with other medicinal products.
Shelf-life Shelf-life of the veterinary medicinal product as packaged for sale: 36 months. Shelf-life after first opening the container: 28 days.
