DOSAGE & DIRECTION:

CYDECTIN PLATINUM should be applied along the top of the backline using the recommended applicator (except with the 1 L bottle, which can be measured using the Easy-Dose chamber).

Cydectin Platinum is a low-volume formulation, so you will use less on the backline than other products such as Cydectin Pour On.

The volume to use is 1 mL per 20 kg live weight. This will administer the correct dose of 0.5 mg/kg of moxidectin and 10 mg/kg of levamisole.

Cattle above 650 kg should be dosed at 1 mL per 20 kg live weight. A representative animal sample should be weighed with scales or a weighband before treatment. The dose rate should be based on the heaviest animal in each group (bulls, cows, steers, calves, etc.) and round up the dose to the nearest whole number.

Use only the Cydectin Platinum applicator. Do not clean the applicator with water. Clean with vegetable oil and empty to store.
