Dosage & Administration
SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE.
Use the product within 12 months of opening the container.
Apply directly from container or an appropriate backpack using the Vetmec Fan Spray Applicator or 30mL Powerdoser.
Vetmec Strikemaster EXTRA may be applied to all breeds of sheep for protection against flystrike.
Apply Vetmec Strikemaster EXTRA on areas of the sheep that require protection, for example the breech. When applying Vetmec Strikemaster EXTRA, the nozzle of the applicator gun should be high enough above the fleece (approximately 15-25 cm), to achieve a 15 cm wide band at each pass for protection from body strike. For treatment of mulesing wounds, the band must be wide enough to cover the wound and 25 mm onto the surrounding wool.
1) FOR THE PREVENTION OF BODY STRIKE (Diagram 1)
2) FOR THE PREVENTION OF BREECH STRIKE (Diagram 1)
3) FOR THE PREVENTION OF POLL STRIKE
Rams and sheep susceptible to poll strike should be treated. Apply 5 mL of Vetmec Strikemaster EXTRA to the areas requiring protection, around the poll and horns.
4) FOR THE PREVENTION OF FLY STRIKE AFTER MULESING (Diagram 2)
Apply two bands, one over each side of the mulesing wound and overlapping 25 mm onto the surrounding wool.
5) FOR THE PREVENTION OF FLY STRIKE AFTER MARKING (Diagram 3)
- When the tail has been amputated, apply 4 mL over the crutch ensuring sufficient coverage of the open wound.
- When the tail has not been amputated, ensure sufficient coverage of the tail where the rubber ring has been applied.
- In case of ram lambs, a further 4 mL can be sprayed over and around the scrotum area after the rubber ring has been applied.
The product should not be applied during gusty or windy weather as spray drift may reduce the period of protection. It is good agricultural practice for mulesing or marking to be carried out at times of minimal fly activity. Reduced efficacy may occur in sheep affected with dermatophilosis. Significant soiling with dags, mud, dust or urine may reduce efficacy. Where significant dags are present, a light crutching is recommended prior to treatment. If sheep scour heavily following application, the protection period may be reduced.
Do not mix with any other product. Do not dilute.
