SHAKE CONTAINER GENTLY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE USE 

Use any standard T-bar pour-on nozzle, and an applicator with a total adjustable volume ideally no greater than 20 mL. 

Do not under dose – check the accuracy of equipment before and during treatment. 

 

Coarse wool breeds: 

Apply ExPO Extinosad™ Pour-On evenly along the backline from the poll to the base of the tail using a suitable applicator with a T-bar nozzle. In sheep weighing less than 35 kg apply as one band and in sheep weighing more than 35 kg, halve the dose volume and apply in 2 bands, approximately 5 cm either side of the midline of the back. This application pattern will improve the spread of the product. ExPO can be used on up to 3 month’s wool growth, but for optimum results treatment is recommended off-shears.
