Questions and answers from customers

    Can I use Maverick Pour-On For Sheep to control lice and stick fleas on chickens?

  1. Q Can I use Maverick Pour-On For Sheep to control lice and stick fleas on chickens?
    Asked by Mark on October 9, 2024 1:12 pm
    Answered by the admin

    Maverick Pour-On for Sheep is only registered for use in sheep. As we and the supplier are bound by APVMA regulations, we can't recommend off-label usage. Any off-label usage would void any directions, efficacy guarantees, and safety and withhold precautions on the label. As it's designed for skin contact post-shearing and is only registered for sheep, we would not recommend this for use in chickens.

  3. Q Can Maverick Pour-On For Sheep be used on Dorper sheep?
    Asked by John m on November 26, 2023 8:21 pm
    Answered by the admin

    Maverick Pour-On For Sheep must be applied within 24 hours of shearing, and as Dorpers do not get shorn, it is not recommended to be used on Dorpers or other shedding sheep breeds. A suitable option for the Dorper's would be Flexolt Oral Lice Treatment For Sheep.

  4. My ewes will be treated with Marerick Pour-On off shears in the first week of August 2022. My ewes do not show to have lice on them, but they have not had any lice treatment for at least 5 years. I am only treating them as a precaution. There has been an unusually wet winter and the sheep are only grazing a very small area of their paddocks therefore worms and lice may become a problem. 80% of the ewes will have lambs at foot that are April / May drop. They will not be shorn. The lambs will be marked on the 8th & 9th August. The lambs will not be shorn until October. Is there anything that I can treat the lambs with while they are in hand or being lamb marked?

    Maverick Pour-On For Sheep requires skin contact with the sheep to be effective.  Providing this can be accomplished with the Dorpers, then it will be successful.

    The application rate for Maverick Pour-On depends on the bodyweight of the animal being treated.  The dose rate is calculated at 10mL per 10kg live weight of the sheep/lamb.  Full directions of use instructions, including application instructions, can be found in the Maverick Pour-On listing on the Specialist Sales website by clicking on the 'Directions Of Use' tab.

    Maverick Pour-On for sheep must be applied within 24-hours of shearing.  The veterinary advice for Maverick Pour-On is that the treated sheep be quarantined away from the remainder of your other sheep for six weeks (best practice).  This allows Maverick to be completely effective.  The treated sheep do not have to remain in the yards on feed as a clean paddock where they are on their own is sufficient for quarantine purposes.

Tips For Use

General Directions:

  • Coopers Maverick is not recommended for use in species other than sheep.
  • Use only in well ventilated areas or outdoors.  Close container when not in use.
  • Coopers Maverick is a short acting, non-residual product.  Maximum lice kill at treatment and strict quarantine conditions for treated sheep are necessary for effective lice control.  It is recommended that a thorough muster be conducted so that no untreated sheep remain. Boundary fences should be checked to ensure animals are contained and stray sheep are excluded.  Treated sheep must be kept separate from lice infested sheep or sheep of unknown lice status. For effective lice control, every sheep on the property should be treated at the same time.
  • Efficacy of Coopers Maverick against sheep body lice or abamectin sensitive nematodes is not adversely affected if applied when the skin is wet or if moderate rainfall occurs shortly after treatment.  The antiparasitic activity of abamectin will be impaired if the formulation is applied to areas of skin with significant soiling with mud, dust, urine or faeces.
  • The antiparasitic activity of abamectin will be impaired if the formulation is applied to roughly shorn sheep.
  • Use dosing equipment compatible with Coopers Maverick.  Follow manufacturers directions for use and care of equipment.  Other dosing equipment may be incompatible, resulting in locking, incorrect dosage and leakage.

Restraints:

  • Do not use in ewes which are producing or may in the future produce milk for human consumption or processing.
  • Do not use on unshorn sheep or shorn sheep more than 24 hours after shearing.
  • Do not use on lambs less than 10kg bodyweight.

Precautions:

  • Treat animals in accordance with good agricultural practice.  Sheep should not be treated in extremely hot weather (>40 degrees celsius) or if under heat stress.
