that calves which are set-stocked in their first grazing season should be treated 3, 8 and 13 weeks after the

day of turn-out. This can protect the animals from parasitic gastro-enteritis and lungworm disease throughout the grazing season, provided they are set-stocked, all the calves are included in the programme and that no untreated cattle are added to the pasture. Treated calves should always be monitored according to good husbandry practices. Pigs:
Gastrointestinal worms (adult and fourth stage larvae):
Ascaris suum, Hyostrongylus rubidus, Oesophagostomum spp, Strongyloides ransomi (adult and somatic larval stage)
Lungworms:
Metastrongylus spp. (adult)
Lice:
Haematopinus suis

Mange mites:
Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis

Dosage and Administration
Each ml contains 10 mg of ivermectin sufficient to treat 50 kg of bodyweight of cattle, and 33 kg of bodyweight
of pigs. The injection may be given with any standard automatic on single-dose or hypodermic syringe. Use of 17 gauge x 1/2 inch needle is suggested. Replace with a fresh sterile needle after every 10 to 12 animals. Injection of wet or dirty animals is not recommended. If using a single dose hypodermic syringe, use a separate sterile needle to withdraw Animec Injection from the container. Cattle
Animec Injection should be given only by subcutaneous injection at the recommended dosage level of 200
microgram ivermectin per kg bodyweight under the loose skin in front of, or behind, the shoulder in cattle. This
is equivalent to 1 ml per 50 kg bodyweight.
Pigs
In pigs, the recommended dosage level is 300 microgram ivermectin per kg bodyweight. This is equivalent to
1 ml per 33 kg bodyweight. The recommended route of administration is by subcutaneous injection into the neck.
Young Pigs
In young pigs, especially those below 16 kg for which less than 0.5 ml Animec Injection is indicated, dosing
accurately is important. The use of a syringe that can accurately deliver as little as 0.1 ml is recommended. It can be used in breeding sows and boars and will not affect fertility. Animec Injection for cattle and pigs can be given to al ages of animals including young calves and piglets.
