"Stampede" for Lice Control

Application Points:

• Controls lice eggs only (all lice – biting & sucking), but doesn’t kill adult lice

• Apply to ALL cattle older than 3 months

• Apply at the first cold spell in Autumn (usually April / May)

• Only one application usually necessary for the year (product lasts 7 weeks)

• Repeat after 7-8 weeks in severe infestations

• Can be applied in moderately rainy weather (is “rainfast”)

• Part the hair with a comb to get good skin contact

• Weigh cattle with scales or a weight tape (do not under dose!)

How to prevent introduction of lice onto your property / animals:

• New Stock – if they have visible lice, treat with pour-on product (eg Cydectin) first to kill adults, then Stampede a week or so later.

• Avoid contact with neighbours cattle over fences

Warnings:

• May cause minor irritation / twitching in some animals for 30 minutes post application

• Do not use at the same time as another pour-on (like Cydectin)

• Use only the supplied gun & tubing (product will damage most other rubber or plastic tubing & seals)

• Don’t mix treated & untreated animals (do a whole mob at once, or ideally, all cattle on the property at once)

• Meat with holding period – 10 days
