Bimectin pour-on for cattle has been formulated for topical application specifically in cattle. It should not be applied or administered to other species, as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs – in particular collies and bobtails – and turtles may occur.

Do not use in cows producing milk for human consumption.

Do not use in non-lactating dairy cows including pregnant heifers within 60 days prior to calving.

Do not use in animals weighing 50 kg bodyweight or less.

Occasionally irritation at the application site may occur which disappears without treatment.

Do not treat cattle when their hide or hair is wet.

Do not treat cattle if rain is expected, as rain within 2 hours of treatment may reduce efficacy.
