INJECTABLE EPRINOMECTIN FORMULATION AND ANTHELMINTIC USE THEREOF

摘要

A method of treating a herd of cattle in a milking shed by injecting an animal at an injection site at or near the rear of the animal with an anthelmintic injectable formulation comprising eprinomectin dissolved in an organic solvent. The injections can be applied at positions X of a rotary milking shed whilst the cows are in their bails on the rotary platform. Injection positions for a herringbone milking shed are also described and illustrated. The injectable formulation has a nil milk withholding time so that it can be used on lactating cows.
