• Dosage is 0.5 ml/10 kg bodyweight to give 1 mg moxidectin/kg bodyweight.
• The 50 ml vial stoppers must not be broached more than 10 times.
• Use automatic syringe equipment
• To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked.
• If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be grouped according to their bodyweight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid under or overdosing.
• The injection should be administered as a single subcutaneous injection at the base of the ear using an 18 gauge, 25 - 40 mm hypodermic needle.
• With the animal's head under control, the formulation should be administered about 2cm caudal from the anterior (rostral) edge of the pinna at the base of the ear.
• The skin at the base of the selected ear should be pinched and the product injected into the subcutaneous tissue.
• Following subcutaneous administration, the needle should be withdrawn from the skin as pressure is applied with the thumb at the point of insertion for several seconds.
• If leakage occurs then pressure should be applied for several additional seconds.
