When cattle have to graze on pasture contaminated with infective larvae of cattle nematodes, treatment with PANOMEC Injection given at the recommended dosage of 0.2 mg per kg bodyweight controls re-infection with:

	Prolonged activity
Lungworm- Dictyocaulus viviparus	up to 28 days
Brown stomach worm - Ostertagia ostertagi	up to 21 days
Nodular worm - Oesophagostomum radiatum	up to 21 days
Small intestinal worm - Cooperia spp.	up to 14 days
Hairworm - Trichostrongylus axei	up to 14 days
Barbers pole worm - Haemonchus placei	up to 14 days

To obtain optimal benefit from the persistent activity of PANOMEC Injection for grazing animals 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. 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 calves should always be monitored according to good husbandry practices.
