PRECAUTIONS

  • Store in closed, original container in a well ventilated area, as cool as possible (below 30 ºC).
  • Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.
  • Triple rinse containers when empty, and add rinsings to dip/jetting sump.  Destroy empty containers by breaking, crushing or puncturing them.

  • Fouled or unwanted sump solution should be placed in a soil pit, away from dams, ponds and waterways, where it will be broken down quickly by soil micro-organisms.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE - USE ONLY AS DIRECTED
General instructions
FleeceCare® is based on a chemical from the benzoyl urea group known as insect growth regulators.  This group of chemicals acts to prevent the deposition of chitin in larval stages of insects, thereby causing death.  As this is not an acute process, treated parasites will take some time to die.  FleeceCare® does not affect mammals which do not rely upon chitin synthesis in normal body functions.

NOTE: Up to 6 weeks are required for this product to remove lice infestations on treated sheep and goats.  Live lice on ewes treated within 6 weeks of lambing/kidding can infect lambs/kids born of these ewes.  To avoid possible breakdown in lice control, treat ewes prior to 6 weeks before lambing/kidding.
N.B. The dipwash should be stirred continuously while jetting.  Where a plunge tank is left to stand for more than 10 minutes without any animals being dipped, the dipwash should be stirred before use.

MIXING
In plunge dips, mechanical mixing should be carried out (board stirrer) followed by a group of at least 20 sheep or goats, which should be returned for redipping later in the day.  Thorough agitation will be necessary after any breaks in dipping throughout the day i.e. meal times.

JETTING
Hand jetting
Only efficient equipment capable of ensuring fleece saturation to the skin is recommended.  Pump pressure and hand equipment must be such that total fleece and skin wetting (including poll, neck, sides, crutch and pizzle) can be achieved for the entire flock.
