  DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:  This syringe contains sufficient paste to treat one 1250 lb horse at the recommended dose rate of 91mcg invermectin per lb (200 mcg/kg) body weight.  Each weight marking on the syringe plunger delivers enough paste to treat 250 lb body weight.

  (1)  While holding plunger, turn knurled ring on the plunger 1/4 turn to the left and slide it so the side nearest the barrel is at the prescribed weight marking.  (2)  Lock the ring in place by making a 1/4 turn to the right.  (3)  Make sure that the horse's mouth contains no feed.  (4)  Remove the cover from the tip of the syringe.  (5)  Insert the syringe tip into the horse's mouth at the space between the teeth.  (6)  Depress the plunger as far as it will go, depositing paste on the back of the tongue.  (7) Immediately raise the horse's head for a few seconds after dosing.

  PARASITE CONTROL PROGRAM:  All horses should be included in a regular parasite control program with particular attention being paid to mares, foals and yearlings.  Foals should be treated initially at 6 to 8 weeks of age, and routine treatment repeated as appropriate.  Consult your veterinarian for a control program to meet your specific needs.  Bimectin (ivermectin) Paste effectively controls gastrointestinal nematodes and bots of horses.  Regular treatment will reduce the chances of verminous arteritis caused by Strongylus vulgaris.

  ADMINISTRATION:

  Cattle:Bimectin® Injection is to be given subcutaneously only, to reduce risk of potentially fatal clostridial infection of the injection site. Animals should be appropriately restrained to achieve the proper route of administration. Use of a 16-gauge, 1/2 to 3/4" needle is suggested. Inject under the loose skin in front of or behind the shoulder (see illustration)

  When using the 250 mL, 500 mL or 1000 mL package size, use only automatic syringe equipment. Use sterile equipment and sanitize the injection site by applying a suitable disinfectant. Clean, properly disinfected needles should be used to reduce the potential for injection site infections. No special handling or protective clothing is necessary.

  Swine: Bimectin® (ivermectin) Injection is to be given subcutaneously in the neck. Animals should be appropriately restrained to achieve the proper route of administration. Use of a 16- or 18- gauge needle is suggested for sows and boars, while an 18- or 20- gauge needle may be appropriate for young animals. Inject under the skin, immediately behind the ear (see illustration).

  When using the 250 mL, 500 mL or 1000 mL package size, use only automatic syringe equipment. As with any injection, sterile equipment should be used. The injection site should be cleaned and disinfected with alcohol before injection. The rubber stopper should also be disinfected with alcohol to prevent contamination of the contents. Mild and transient pain reactions may be seen in some swine following subcutaneous administration.

  Recommended Treatment Program

  Swine: At the time of initiating any parasite control program, it is important to treat all breeding animals in the herd. After the initial treatment, use Bimectin® Injection regularly as follows:

  BREEDING ANIMALS

  Sows: Treat prior to farrowing, preferably 7-14 days before, to minimize infection of piglets.

  Gilts: Treat 7-14 days prior to breeding.

  Treat 7-14 days prior to farrowing.

  Boars: Frequency and need for treatments are dependent upon exposure. Treat at least two times a year.

  
  FEEDER PIGS

  (Weaners/Growers/Finishers)

  All weaner/feeder pigs should be treated before placement in clean quarters.

  Pigs exposed to contaminated soil or pasture may need retreatment if reinfection occurs.

  
  NOTE:

  (1) Bimectin® Injection has a persistent drug level sufficient to control mite infestations throughout the egg to adult life cycle. However, since the ivermectin effect is not immediate, care must be taken to prevent reinfestation from exposure to untreated animals or contaminated facilities. Generally, pigs should not e moved to clean quarters or exposed to uninfested pigs for approximately one week after treatment. Sows should be treated at least one week before farrowing to minimize transfer of mites to newborn baby pigs.

  (2) Louse eggs are unaffected by Bimectin® Injection and may require up to three weeks to hatch. Louse infestations developing from hatching eggs may require retreatment.

  (3) Consult a veterinarian for aid in the diagnosis and control of internal and external parasites of swine.
