Directions for Use
Shake well before use.
Use only as directed. Treat animals at regular intervals according to tick challenge.
The basic dosage is 1 ml per 10 kg body mass. Regular application progressively reduces the tick population.
Cattle: Apply the required dose in two lines, from the base of the skull along both sides of the spine up to the tail root.
Sheep: Apply the required dose volume in four parts to the bare skin areas of the groin and axillae.
Ostriches: Apply the required dose volume along the backline.
Game: Apply the required dose volume with a suitable pour-on applicator.
Applicator: Squeeze bottle with dosemeter. Squeeze required volume into dosemeter.
Special Management Guidelines
Karoo Paralysis Prevention (Sheep): Apply Alphatic F Pour Plus early in the season, as soon as Karoo paralysis ticks (Ixodes rubicundus) are first observed on the grazing or on the animals. Two to three treatments 7–10 days apart should provide protection, depending on the severity of the tick challenge.
Self-Medicating Devices (Game): If a self-medicating device is used, ensure the device remains activated only long enough to deliver a single dosage to all animals in the camp/paddock. Do not leave the device activated for continuous low-level treatment.
Young Stock: Not recommended for very young lambs or calves unless infestation is severe.
Avoid treating animals during the heat of the day to reduce the risk of skin irritation.
Regular application progressively reduces the tick population. Once tick pressure decreases, treatment intervals may be extended beyond 7 days, depending on field conditions.
Tick-Borne Disease Immunity
Important Advisory: Correct, regular treatment may reduce natural exposure to ticks and may affect tick-borne disease immunity, especially in young animals. Seek veterinary advice where tick-borne diseases are prevalent. Young stock under 4 weeks should not be treated unless infestation is severe. Where possible, vaccinate against tick-borne diseases.
Precautions
First Aid
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. If skin contact occurs, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If eye contact occurs, rinse with clean water for at least 15 minutes. In all cases of suspected poisoning, consult a doctor and make this label available.
