Dosing Regime

Closamectin Pour On has a broad anthelmintic spectrum and any treatment regime needs to take into account both local factors and other routine worming treatments. To control fluke infection in beef cattle and young stock a minimum recommendation is twice yearly treatment.

Always speak to your vet or medicine prescriber to establish a dosing regime suitable for your region.

Autumn

The first treatment should be given at or just after housing. In areas with severe pasture contamination or if animals are housed early, a second treatment 7-8 weeks post housing may be required. For outwintered cattle, the treatment should be given during late autumn and early winter. A second treatment may be required in January / February.

Spring/ Summer

Another treatment in late spring / early summer from 8 weeks post turnout will kill any fluke that have either survived the housing treatment or are a result of metacercariae ingested immediately following turnout. This will help to reduce reinfection of pasture by eggs from ongoing fluke infections.
