For the treatment and control of gastrointestinal nematodes, lungworms, eyeworms, warbles, mites and sucking lice (as shown below) of beef and non-lactating dairy cattle.
Enovex Injection at the recommended dosage level of 200 micrograms ivermectin per kg bodyweight:

Provides control against the following parasites of cattle:Gastrointestinal worms (adult and fourth stage larvae): Ostertagia ostertagi (including inhibited larval stages), Ostertagia lyrata, Haemonchus placei, Trichostrongylus axei, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Cooperia oncophora, Cooperia punctata, Cooperia pectinata, Bunostomum phlebotomum, Oesophagostomum radiutum, Strongyloides papillosus (adult, Nematodirus helvetianus (adult),Nematodirus spathiger (adult). and Trichuris spp (adult).
Lungworms (adult and fourth stage larvae): Dictyocaulus viviparus
Eyeworms (adult): Thelazia spp.
Warbles (parasitic stages): Hypoderma bovis and Hypoderma lineatum
Mange Mites: Psoroptes bovis, Sarcoptes scabiei var. bovis
Sucking Lice: Linognathus vituli, Haematopinus eurysternus, and Solenopotes capillatus

May also be used as an aid in the control of the mange mite Chorioptes bovis and biting lice (Damalinia bovis), but complete elimination may not occur.

When cattle have to graze on pasture contaminated with infective larvae of cattle nematodes, treatment with Enovex Injection at the recommended dose rate controls re-infection with Haemonchus placei, Cooperia spp. and Trichostrongylus axei acquired upto 14 days after treatment, Ostertagia ostertagi and Oesophagostomum radiatum acquired up to 21 days after treatment and Dictyocaulus viviparus acquired up to 28 days after treatment.

To obtain optimal benefit from the persistent activity of Enovex Injection, it is recommended that calves which are set-stocked in their first grazing season should be treated 3, 8 and 13 weeks after the day of turn-out. Studies have demonstrated that first-season grazing calves turned out to pasture in late April or May and treated with Enovex Injection 3, 8 and 13 weeks after turn-out can be protected from parasitic gastro-enteritis and lungworm disease throughout the grazing season, provided they are set-stocked, all the calves are included in the programme, and that no untreated cattle are added to the pasture.

Treated calves should always be monitored according to good husbandry practices.

Dosage: 1 ml per 50 kg bodyweight (based on a recommended dosage level of 200 mcg ivermectin per kilogram bodyweight).

Administration: Inject subcutaneously only in front of, or behind, the shoulder using aseptic technique. A sterile 17 gauge x 1/2 inch needle is recommended. Assess bodyweight as accurately as possible before calculating dosage.
