Subcutaneous injection under the loose skin in front of, or behind, the shoulder in cattle and in the neck in sheep

How to apply IVOMEC Classic Injection

IVOMEC Classic Injection for Cattle and Sheep should be given only by subcutaneous injection at the recommended dosage level of 1ml/50kg bodyweight under the loose skin in front of, or behind, the shoulder in cattle and over the neck in sheep. Use of a sterile 17 gauge ¹/₂ inch (15-20mm) needle is suggested.

Sheep scab (Psoroptes ovis) is an extremely contagious external parasite of sheep. To ensure complete control great care must be taken to avoid re-infestation, as mites may be viable for up to 15 days off the sheep. It is important that all sheep which have been in contact with infected sheep are treated. Contact between treated, infected and untreated flocks must be avoided until at least seven days after treatment. In sheep, treatment of psoroptic mange (sheep scab) with one injection is not recommended because, although clinical improvement may be seen, elimination of all mites may not occur. Two injections with a seven day interval are required.
