Abamectin is also effective against nasal bot (Oestrus ovis) and itch mite (Psorergates ovis).Milking Sheep: Do NOT use in sheep producing milk for human consumptionDosageAlways refer to the label. Separate into different weight classes if there is a large variation in age and weight. Dose at the rate of 1ml per 4kg body weight.Advice On Use Abamectin is a broad-spectrum treatment which is highly effective against mature and immature worm parasites on most Australian farms including against strains of Ostertagia resistant to ivermectin. The use of WSD ABAMECTIN or WSD ABAMECTIN PLUS SELENIUM is particularly indicated in strategic programs to reduce contamination of pastures when the uptake of worm larvae is low. Consider using other WSD drenches, particularly WSD Combination, if the objective is to treat a worm infestation on pastures known to be moderately or heavily contaminated. Abamectin is NOT effective against tapeworms. The repeated use of any ML drench is likely to result in the emergence of resistance in worm parasites and therefore, regular testing for efficacy is recommended.
