Amitik WP Cattle Dip and Spray (Amitraz)

Directions Of Use

Sachet Instructions:

• Open outer sachet.
• To dissolve in water, simply tip the inner soluble pack directly into the bucket and stir.

Initial Charge, Mixing and Stabilising

• For each 1,000L of water in the dip or sump, empty 500g Amitik WP into a bucket containing water and stir into a smooth, creamy suspension.
• Pour into dip/sump, then rinse bucket, adding rinsing to dip/sump.
• Do not retain opened Amitik WP or Lime Stabiliser packs for later use.
• Use each pack’s contents immediately after opening since Amitik WP and Lime Stabiliser deteriorate in opened packs.
• Any unused, unstabilised dip wash should be discarded if not used within 24 hours. It should not be retained for later use unless stabilised first.
• Stabilise by mixing the contents of one pack (10kg) of Lime Stabiliser* per 1,000L of water in the dip or sump, taking care to distribute the stabiliser along the surface of the dip. *Hydrated (slaked) lime (80% purity) can be used for the purpose of stabilising.

Application:

Plunge Dip

For each 1,000L of water in the dip, add one pack (500g) of Amitik WP as an initial charge. Stabilisation (10kg Hydrated Lime stabilizer per 1,000L of dip wash) is always required. If the dip has not been used for two months, add a 10kg bag of lime for every 2,000L in the dip. When the dip level has fallen by 700L, add 700L of water and 500g Amitik WP plus 10kg Lime Stabiliser. Mix as above. It is not advisable to allow the dip to fall by more than 700L from its original level. It is essential that the dip be stirred at the start of each day’s dipping and again if more than half an hour between dipping. Use at least 30 head of cattle through the dip and return these to the main mob for re-dipping. If it is some time since the dip has been used, adjust the dip to make up for evaporation or flooding

Spray Race

Amitik WP can be used in spray races; however, Amitraz EC is recommended as it mixes fully with water and does not settle quickly. Charge with 500g of Amitik WP per 1,000L, mixing as above. Stabilisation (10kg Lime Stabiliser per 1,000L) is required when the unused dip is retained for later use (more than 24 hours of initial charge). Each time the level of spray wash in the sump drops by more than 300L, reinforce by adding 100g Amitik WP and continue spraying. Do NOT add water. Do NOT add Lime Stabiliser. Continue spraying until no more wash can be pumped out. When the wash is polluted, clean out the sump before charging. If the spray wash is not stabilised, it is important that all spray wash remaining in the sump be pumped out before recharging if it has stood for more than 24 hours. Once the suspension has been added to the sump, stir thoroughly using the pump or manually with a paddle. Spray wash in the sump must be stirred thoroughly at the commencement of each spraying session and again if there is a break of more than half an hour during spraying.
