Always consult your veterinarian for precise dosage recommendations tailored to your specific cattle and their health status. However, here’s a general guideline:
Calves (Under 6 months):
- Weight: Under 200 lbs: Administer 1ml of 1% Ivermectin solution per 22 lbs of body weight. Repeat in 7 to 14 days as needed. Weight: 200-400 lbs: Administer 1ml of 1% Ivermectin solution per 22 lbs of body weight. Repeat in 10-14 days if necessary.
Yearlings (6-12 months):
- Weight: 400-600 lbs: Administer 1ml of 1% Ivermectin solution per 22 lbs of body weight. A single dose is usually sufficient, but repeat as directed by your veterinarian.
Adult Cattle (Over 12 months):
Weight: 600-800 lbs: A single dose of 10-12 ml of 1% Ivermectin solution is typically recommended. Your vet can adjust based on individual needs. Weight: 800-1000 lbs: A single dose of 12-15 ml of 1% Ivermectin solution is generally sufficient. Your veterinarian should guide treatment decisions. Weight: Over 1000 lbs: Consult your veterinarian to determine the appropriate dosage based on the animal’s weight and overall health. Dosages above 15ml of 1% Ivermectin solution should be determined by a professional.
Note: These are approximate guidelines. Always follow the instructions on the product label and seek professional veterinary advice for accurate dosing and treatment plans. Incorrect dosage can be harmful.
Regular deworming schedules should be determined through consultation with your veterinarian, considering factors like parasite prevalence and the individual health of your animals.
