Nucidol 200 EC 500mL Nucidol 200 EC is very effective for the control of ECTOPARASITES (lice, buffalo fly, mange, lice and fleas) on cattle, pigs, goats, and in animal sheds. TOLERABILITY Up to a concentration of 0.2% active ingredient, no visible signs of intoxication were observed when cattle and sheep were sprayed or dipped respectively. A slight reversible inhibition of cholinesterase activity was determined at 0.2% and increasingly at higher concentrations. Salivation, a visible sign of this specific type of reversible intoxication was noticed in cattle at 0.4% and higher concentrations. Thus, Nucidol is well-tolerated by cattle and sheep when applied as recommended in a dosage range from 0.03% up to 0.1% of active ingredient. Dosage & Administration Cattle Lice: Mix 250 ml of Nucidol 200 EC with 100 l of water. Apply at least 4.5 l of spray, ensuring that the animal is thoroughly covered. Re-spray as necessary. Buffalo Fly: Mix 400 ml of Nucidol 200 EC with 100 l of water. Apply 500 ml and spray along the backline. Re-spray as necessary. Pigs Lice: Mix 250 ml of Nucidol 200 EC with 100 l of water. Spray pigs and sties thoroughly. Repeat treatment in 14 days. Mange: Mix 250 ml of Nucidol 200 EC with 100 l of water. Spray pigs and sties thoroughly. Repeat treatment twice within 10 day intervals between treatments. Goats Biting and sucking lice: Mix 250 ml of Nucidol 200 EC with 100 l of water. Spray goats thoroughly making sure hair is wet to the skin. Examine goats after 14 days for newly hatched lice and later during the season for further lice activity. Re-spray as necessary. Horses Flies: Mix 250 ml of Nucidol 200 EC per 10 l of water. Spray the inner walls thoroughly and any other places where flies settle. Re-spray as necessary. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE Timing and frequency depend on parasite, climatic conditions and degree of infestation. For mange mites, 2 or 3 treatments during the life-cycle of the pest and treatment of the animal houses may be necessary for thorough control. It is essential to maintain dip concentration by replenishing when dip volume has dropped by 10%. Animals must be completely immersed at least once. Do not dip sheep with less than 2 weeks wool growth. Use sheep dip wash only on day of preparation, then empty completely and clean dip thoroughly to avoid build-up of bacteria causing post dipping lameness. WITHDRAWAL PERIOD Cattle – 3 days Pigs – 14 days Goats – 14 days Horses – 3 days
