For the treatment and control of gastro-intestinal roundworms, lungworms, lice and mange in adult and growing pigs.

IVOMEC Premix for Pigs at the recommended daily dose level of 100 micrograms of ivermectin per kg of bodyweight for seven consecutive days, effectively controls the following parasites of pigs:

Ascaris suum (adults and fourth-stage larvae)

Hyostrongylus rubidus (adults and fourth-stage larvae)

Oesophagostomum spp. (adults and fourth-stage larvae)

Strongyloides ransomi (adults)*

Metastrongylus spp. (adults)

Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis

 

*IVOMEC Premix for Pigs given to pregnant sows before farrowing effectively controls transmission via the milk of S. ransomi to piglets.

Since louse eggs can take up to three weeks to hatch, re-treatment may be necessary.

Since the effect of ivermectin is not immediate, avoid contact between treated and untreated pigs for at least one week after completion of the treatment programme. Exposure of treated pigs to infected animals, contaminated premises, soil or pasture may result in reinfection.
