HYGEIA WINTER DIP

Description

Hygeia Winter Dip

• Hygeia winter dip concentrate for dip emulsion and for the treatment and control of blowfly and sheep scab (Psoroptes ovis) in sheep.
• Hygeia winter dip contains Diazinon (Dimpylate) 10% w/v, Excipient-solvent naphtha (petroleum) heavy aromatic mixture.
• Plunge dipping with hygeia winter dip is highly effective in treating and controlling blowfly and sheep scab in sheep.

Method and Route of Administration:

• For topical use as a dip.
• Replenish as the levels fall.
• Sheep passing through a bath at a low level (or a foul bath) will not be effectively treated or protected as the sheep which passed through before.

To Prepare the Bath:

• Measure the required volume of cold water into the bath.
• Initial fill 2.25L (0.5 gallon) of dip concentrate [i.e. 9 x 250ml deliveries from dispensing pump) to 900L (200 gallons) of water, equivalent to 250 ppm of Diazinon.

To Dip the Sheep:

• Immerse the sheep in the bath for a minimum of one minute.
• Keep sheep moving forward and put the head under the water at least once.

To Replenish the Bath:

• Baths less than 2250L (500 gallons): (A) after every 36 sheep dipped, add 1L [i.e. 4 x 250ml deliveries from the dispensing pump] into the dip tank and sufficient water to restore the bath to its original volume.
• Baths greater than 2250L (500 gallons): after every 90 sheep dipped, add 2.5L [i.e. 10 x 250ml deliveries from the dispensing pump] into the dip and sufficient water to restore the bath to its original volume.
• For the purposes of the control of sheep scab, sheep must be totally immersed in a sheep bath and all parts of the sheep except the head and the ears must remain immersed for not less than one minute.
• Plunge the head under at least twice, allowing time to breathe between plunges.

Withdrawal Period:

• Animals intended for human consumption must not be slaughtered during treatment.
• Sheep intended for human consumption may only be slaughtered from 35 days after the last treatment.
• Not for use in ewes producing milk for human consumption.
