When cattle have to graze on pasture contaminated with infective larvae of cattle nematodes, treatment with IVOMEC Super Injection for Cattle given at the recommended dose rate of 0.2mg per kg bodyweight controls re-infection with the following parasites of cattle:

	Prolonged activity
Dictyocaulus viviparus	up to 28 days
Ostertagia ostertagi	up to 21 days
Oesophagostomum radiatum	up to 21 days
Cooperia spp.	up to 14 days
Trichostrongylus axei	up to 14 days
Haemonchus placei	up to 14 days

To obtain optimal benefit from the persistent activity of IVOMEC Super for grazing animals, it is recommended that calves which are set-stocked in the first grazing season should be treated 3, 8 and 13 weeks after the day of turn-out. This can protect the animals 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 animals should always be monitored according to good husbandry practices.
