Residue Warning
Withdrawal Periods and Residue Warnings: Goats must not be slaughtered for human consumption within 6 days following treatment.
Because a milk discard time has not been established, do not use in lactating goats.
Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism.
Other
INDICATIONS: Goats - 2.3 mg/lb (5 mg/kg) body weight for the treatment and control of: Stomach worms (adults): Haemonchus contortus and Teladorsagia circumcincta.
OTHER WARNINGS: Parasite resistance may develop to any dewormer, and has been reported for most classes of dewormers. Treatment with a dewormer used in conjunction with parasite management practices appropriate to the geographic area and the animal(s) to be treated may slow the development of parasite resistance. Fecal examinations or other diagnostic tests and parasite management history should be used to determine if the product is appropriate for the herd, prior to the use of any dewormer. Following the use of any dewormer, effectiveness of treatment should be monitored (for example, with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test or another appropriate method).
A decrease in a drug's effectiveness over time as calculated by fecal egg count reduction tests may indicate the development of resistance to the dewormer administered. Your parasite management plan should be adjusted accordingly based on regular monitoring.
