Presentation:

 

A clear solution containing ivermectin 0.5% w/v (5 mg/ml).

     

Product Uses:

 

For the treatment and control of gastrointestinal nematodes, lungworms, eyeworms, warbles, chorioptic and sarcoptic mange and sucking and biting lice of beef and non-lactating dairy cattle.

Noromectin Pour-On applied at the recommended dose rate of 500 micrograms ivermectin per kg is indicated for the control of these parasites:

Gastrointestinal roundworms (adult and fourth stage larvae):
Ostertagia ostertagi (including inhibited larvae), Haemonchus placei, Trichostrongylus axei, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Cooperia spp, Oesophagostomum radiatum, Strongyloides papillosus (adult), and Trichuris spp (adult).

Lungworms (adult and fourth stage larvae):
Dictyocaulus viviparus

Eyeworms (adult):
Thelazia spp

Warbles (parasitic stages):
Hypoderma bovis and H. lineatum

Mange mites:
Sarcoptes scabiei var. bovis and Chorioptes bovis

Lice:
Linognathus vituli, Haematopinus eurysternus, Damalinia bovis and Solenopotes capillatus


Noromectin Pour-On given at the recommended dosage of 500 micrograms/kg bodyweight controls infections with Trichostrongylus axei and Cooperia spp acquired up to 14 days after treatment; Ostertagia ostertagi and Oesophagostomum radiatum acquired up to 21 days after treatment; Dictyocaulus viviparus acquired up to 28 days after treatment. It also controls horn fly (Haematobia irritans) for up to 35 days after treatment.

To obtain optimal benefit from the persistent activity of Noromectin Pour-On, 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 Noromectin Pour-On 3, 8 and 13 weeks after turnout can be protected from parasitic gastroenteritis and lungworm disease throughout the grazing season, provided they are set-stocked, all the calves should be included in the programme and that no untreated cattle are added to the pasture.
Rainfall before or after treatment will not affect the efficacy of Noromectin Pour-On.
