IVOMEC Injection is indicated for the treatment of the following parasitic infections and infestations in swine:
Gastrointestinal roundworms: Large roundworms, Ascaris suum (adults and L4); Red stomach worm, Hyostrongylus rubidus (adults and L4); Nodular worm, Oesophagostomum spp. (adults and L4); Threadworm, Strongyloides ransomi (adults and somatic larvae)
Somatic Threadworm Larvae (Strongyloides ransomi). Sows must be treated at least seven days before farrowing to prevent infection of piglets.
Lungworm: Metastrongylus spp. (adults)
Lice: Haematopinus suis
Mites: Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION SWINE:
The recommended dose level is 1 mL of IVOMEC® Injection per 33 kg of body weight (300 g of ivermectin per kg of body weight). The recommended route of administration is by subcutaneous injection in the neck. The solution may be given with any standard automatic or single-dose equipment. In young pigs, especially those below 16 kg for which less than 0.5 mL of IVOMEC® Injection is indicated, dosing accuracy is important. The use of a syringe that can accurately deliver as little as 0.1 mL is recommended. Use aseptic technique.
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT PROGRAM
I. Breeding Animals:At the time of initiating any parasite control program it is important to treat all breeding animals in the herd. After the initial treatment, use IVOMEC® Injection regularly as follows:
Sows Treat prior to farrowing, preferably 7-14 days before, to minimize infection of piglets.
Gilts Treat 7-14 days prior to breeding. Treat 7-14 days prior to farrowing.
Boars
Frequency and need for treatments are dependent upon exposure. Treat at least two times per year.
II. Feeder pigs: All feeder pigs should be treated before placement in clean quarters. Pigs exposed to contaminated soil or premises may need retreatment if reinfection occurs.
