Cattle	Dose Volumes

BAYTICOL spreads through the oils of the skin and hair coat to all parts of the animal’s body. Behaviour such as grooming, tail swishing and scratching, aid the movement of active ingredient to the extremities of the body, which are often affected by ticks.

BAYTICOL is active against all 3 stages of the New Zealand cattle tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) lifecycle. It also causes infertility of ticks which survive treatment, by inhibiting egg laying or rendering eggs sterile. This action helps reduce contamination of pastures.

Retreatment should be undertaken when ticks start to reappear. Overseas trials with various tick species indicate that BAYTICOL provides protection against reinfestation for 3 to 6 weeks.

For optimum control in deer, breeding hinds should be treated every three weeks from August to fawning. This programme will reduce the number of nymphs reaching the adult stage, which infest fawn during November-December. Treatment of hinds can be continued after fawning if this is practical. Other stock should be treated every three weeks from August, or as required.

Deer	Dose Volumes
Up to 6 months	10 mL
Yearlings and adults	20 mL

ADVERSE EFFECTS

Signs of mild irritation may be observed for 24-48 hours after treatment. 

Hair loss at the site of application may occur on deer which are shedding their winter coat at the time of treatment. This effect is temporary and can be minimised by spreading the dose over the entire backline. Growth of summer coat is not affected.
