Alivira Avromec (ivermectin) is a broad-spectrum anti-parasitic treatment for cattle and sheep, primarily used to treat and prevent internal and external parasite infestations.
INDICATIONS
- Gastro-intestinal Roundworms: Treats various adult and larval nematodes (Ostertagia, Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, etc.) that affect the digestive tract.
- Lungworms: Controls lung nematodes such as Dictyocaulus viviparus.
- External Parasites: Treats mange mites, lice, and cattle grubs (such as Hypoderma bovis).
ADMINISTRATION
Administered strictly via subcutaneous (under the skin) injection. It must never be given intravenously or intramuscularly.
- Where to Inject: Inject the solution under the loose skin either in front of or behind the shoulder area.
- Hygiene: Always use a clean, sterile needle and syringe, applying standard aseptic technique to prevent infection at the site.
- Maximum Volume Per Site: If you are administering a total dose of more than 10 mL to a single animal, divide the dose and inject it into separate sites.
The appropriate amount of AVROMEC is determined by the animal’s body weight to ensure effective treatment.
- Cattle and Sheep: The dosage rate is calculated based on the weight of the animal, as specified by the manufacturer.
- Lambs: Specific calculations are required for younger, lighter animals.
- Treatment Protocols: In cases of specific infestations, such as Psoroptes ovis (sheep scab), veterinary guidance may suggest repeated applications at specified intervals.
- Milk Restrictions: Do not use this product on cows or sheep producing milk for human consumption.
- Pregnancy Restrictions: Use caution and avoid administration within a specific timeframe before calving or lambing.
- Withdrawal Period: Animals cannot be slaughtered for meat consumption immediately after treatment, as a specific withdrawal window is required for residues to clear.
