Exovet (Oral Solution)

Treatment of Poultry Red Mite (D. gallinae) and Northern Fowl Mite (O.sylviarum) infestations in pullets, breeders and layer hens.

Exovet has been shown to be effective on a wide range of sheep across a large number of studies including off-shears, shorn sheep up to 7 days off-shears, unshorn lambs, sheep with short and long wool, and off-shears and long wool ewes with lambs at foot.

Chickens (pullets, chickens for reproduction and layer hens), Sheep.

In chickens:

Administered orally via drinking water.

0.5 mg fluralaner / kg bodyweight (equivalent to 0.05 ml of Exovet) administered twice, 7 days apart. The complete course of treatment must be administered for a full therapeutic effect. If another course of treatment is indicated, the interval between two courses of treatment should be at least 3 months.

Determine the duration of time (between 4 and 24 hours) over which to administer the medicated water on the treatment day. This period of time must be long enough to allow all the birds to receive the required dose. Estimate how much water birds will consume during treatment based on the previous day’s water consumption. The product should be added to a volume of water that the chickens will consume in one day. No other source of drinking water should be available during the medication period.

To ensure administration of the correct dose, the body weight should be determined.

The required volume of product for each treatment day is calculated from the total body weight (kg) of the entire group of chickens to be treated, using the following formula:

ml product/treatment day = Total estimated BW (kg) of chickens to be treated X 0.05 mL

In Sheep:

Administer orally using accurate drench equipment or syringes.

The recommended dose rate is 0.15 ml/kg bodyweight (equivalent to 1.5 mg fluralaner/kg bodyweight).

Dose rate: 1.5 ml/10 kg bodyweight. As the following table:

• Add 3 ml for each 20 kg above 100 kg.

• Do not mixed with another product.
• Do not mix treated sheep with untreated sheep.
• Avoid treating ewes less than 4 weeks before before lambing commences or while ewes are lambing, as live lice can persist and infect the lambs. Ewes and lambs can be treated together after lambing has finished
• Do not use in lambs less than 6 kg bodyweight.
• Do not use in ewes which are producing or may in the future produce milk that may be used or processed for human consumption.
• Do not re-treat chickens 3 months after last treatment.
• Do not re-treat sheep 54 days after the last treatment.
