Avotan® Pour-On

Ready to use pour-on for the control of roundworms and blue ticks in cattle.

FOR EXTERNAL ANIMAL USE ONLY 

AVOTAN® POUR-ON
Reg. No. G3745 (Act 36/1947)
Namibia Reg. No. V07/18.1.2/376 NS0

INDICATIONS
Ready to use pour-on for the control of roundworms and blue ticks in cattle. 
This product is primarily indicated for dairy animals. This product is not ideal to use in cases of heavy tick burdens or during peak tick-seasons.

COMPOSITION
Contains: Abamectin 5 mg/mℓ.

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION
Please note that this product acts systemically after application along the top line of the animal. The active ingredient is absorbed through the skin and in order for it to control ticks, the ticks need to bite and take a blood meal from an animal treated with abamectin. For this reason, the product is designed to control blue tick numbers and not to prevent tick-borne diseases. When the tick population has been controlled through regular/strategic application of this product, the risk of tick-borne diseases may significantly decrease.

SLEGS VIR UITWENDIGE DIEREGEBRUIK

AVOTAN® POUR-ON
Reg. No. G3745 (Wet 36/1947)
Namibië Reg. Nr. V07/18.1.2/376 NS0

INDIKASIES 
Gereed vir gebruik opgietmiddel vir die beheer van rondewurms en bloubosluise in beeste. 
Hierdie produk word hoofsaaklik vir suiweldiere aangedui. Hierdie produk is nie ideaal vir gebruik in gevalle van swaar bosluisbesmettings of tydens die piek bosluis-seisoene nie.

SAMESTELLING
Bevat: Abamektien 5 mg/mℓ.

FARMAKOLOGIESE WERKING
Neem asseblief kennis dat hierdie produk ‘n sistemiese werking het na toediening op die toplyn van ‘n bees. Die aktiewe bestanddeel word deur die vel geabsorbeer en ten einde bosluise te beheer, het die bosluise nodig om te byt en ‘n bloedmaal te neem wat abamektien bevat. Vir hierdie rede is die produk ontwerp vir die beheer van bloubosluisgetalle en nie vir die voorkoming van bosluisoorgedraagde siektes nie. Na beheer van die bloubosluispopulasie deur gereelde/strategiese toediening van hierdie produk, kan die risiko van bosluisoorgedraagde siektes beduidend afneem
