Other Information

Ivermectin Sheep Drench is a liquid, administered orally to sheep, consisting of an 0.08% solution of ivermectin. Discovered and developed by scientists from Merck Sharp and Dohme Research Laboratories, ivermectin is a unique chemical entity. As such, the chances of cross-resistance in parasites that have developed resistance to other wormers is highly unlikely. Additionally, its convenience, broad spectrum efficacy, and wide therapeutic index make Ivermectin Sheep Drench an exceptionally valuable product for parasite control in sheep.

Consult your veterinarian for assistance in diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitism.

Ivermectin Sheep Drench is a ready-to-use, free-flowing solution of ivermectin.  It is formulated to deliver the recommended dose rate of 0.2 mg ivermectin per 1 kg body weight given orally at a volume of 3.0 mL per 26 lbs body weight.

    ADMINISTRATION

    Any standard drenching equipment, or any equipment which provides a consistant dose volume, can be used.  Dose rates and equipment should be checked before drenching commences.  Be sure the head is properly positioned for each sheep to receive the full dose.

    Ivermectin Sheep Drench is readily accepted by sheep, but inconsequential coughing may be observed in some animals during and for several minutes after drenching.  If slobbering occurs, the dose may be lost, and that sheep should be redosed.

    FREQUENCY OF DOSING

    Resistant parasites are a particular problem in sheep.  Please consult your veterinarian, county extension office or animal health supplier for the control program recommended in your area.
