Coopers Blowfly & Lice is a concentrate for use in sheep of all ages. The product is not to be used undiluted.

The 16.0 g/L Ivermectin concentrate is diluted 1:500 and applied by jetting for the treatment of, and protection against, sheep blowfly strike and by hand jetting for long-wool lice treatment.

Indications for Coopers Blowfly and Lice:

Jetting For Blowfly Strike: When applied as directed by hand-jetting or by modified Harrington jetting race this product protects sheep against strike by blowflies (Lucilia cuprina, L. sericata, Chrysomya rufifacies and Calliphora nociva) (including OP resistant strains of Lucilia cuprina) for 12 weeks under low to moderate fly pressure and will control maggots in existing strikes in the treated areas.
Hand Dressing Of Struck Sheep: This product can be applied at the blowfly dilution rate for the treatment of blowfly strike wounds. Sheep should be sheared/clipped around the strike wound before saturating the area.
Hand Jetting For Lice: When applied as directed by hand-jetting this product also treats biting lice (Bovicola ovis), including synthetic pyrethroid-resistant strains in long woolled sheep until the next shearing.

As Coopers Blowfly and Lice has a Withholding Period (WHP) for the Wool Harvesting Interval that states, "do not use less than 6-weeks before shearing or fibre collection", it is not recommended to use the product within a week of crutching, if the wool from the crunching is to be collected and sold.

The active ingredient of Coopers Blowfly and Lice is Ivermectin, which dramatically strips if used in a recycling dip & therefore, should never be used if recycling occurs.

The Coopers Blowfly & Lice label does not claim to eradicate lice in long wooled sheep completely. It does reduce the burden of lice infestation considerably (>95%) and is a prevalent & effective treatment to get long wooled sheep with lice through to shearing. As lice only lay an egg every 2-3 days, the increase in population after treatment is relatively slow. Blowfly and Lice is a contact only treatment and does not offer residual control claims. Unlike drenches, the active ingredient Ivermectin, when applied by hand jetting, is not absorbed into the animal for ongoing protection against parasites. As with all lice treatments, a strategy including clean mustering & correct treatments at the right time is vital for effective lice control.

Tips For Use

Note:

Check the sheep to ensure wetting to skin level after jetting.
Efficacy may be reduced if sheep are not treated as directed.
When used as directed by jetting, Coopers Blowfly & Lice has a wide safety margin in sheep and may be used in breeding animals.
When applied as directed Coopers Blowfly & Lice will not damage fleece or skin.
Season, weather conditions, sheep type, wool length and condition, soiling with faeces and urine and any concurrent skin or fleece diseases such as fleece rot, mycotic dermatitis and other infections or wounds will influence the susceptibility of sheep to flystrike.
Thorough wetting of those sites most attractive to flies is the most effective way to prevent blowfly strike.
Hand jetting is recommended to ensure adequate wetting.
Jetting races have varying abilities to saturate the fleece so the duration of protection may be shorter than with hand jetting.
Jetting races or other jetting equipment which recycles the jetting fluid should not be used to apply Coopers Blowfly & Lice.
When applied as directed by hand jetting, exposure to moderate rainfall does not have any adverse effect on the efficacy of Coopers Blowfly & Lice.
If the sheep need to be handled for other management procedures, it is recommended that use of Coopers Blowfly & Lice is the final activity carried out.
Storage at low temperatures (<4˚ C) may result in the formation of small crystals in Coopers Blowfly & Lice which will redissolve on dilution and will not affect the efficacy or safety of the product.
