Animec Injection
Dosage and administration
Each ml contains 10 mg of ivermectin sufficient to treat 50 kg bodyweight of cattle, and 33 kg bodyweight of pigs. Replace with a fresh sterile needle after every 10 to 12 animals. Massage the injection site after administration of the product. Injection of wet or dirty animals is not recommended.
Cattle
Animec Injection should be given only by subcutaneous injection at the recommended dosage level of 200 microgram ivermectin per kg bodyweight under the loose skin in front of, or behind, the shoulder in cattle. This is equivalent to 1 ml per 50 kg bodyweight. The volume administered per injection site should not exceed 10 ml.
Pigs
In pigs, the recommended dosage level is 300 microgram ivermectin per kg bodyweight. This is equivalent to 1 ml per 33 kg bodyweight. The recommended route of administration is by subcutaneous injection into the neck.
Young Pigs
In young pigs, especially those below 16 kg for which less than 0.5 ml Animec Injection is indicated, dosing accurately is important. The use of a syringe that can accurately deliver as little as 0.1 ml is recommended.
