Because ECTOLINE® POUR-ON is a new compound unrelated to existing products, it controls external parasites resistant to other molecules such as pyrethroids, organophosphates, and amidines.

• Due to its formulation, when applied to the back of animals, ECTOLINE® POUR-ON is perfectly distributed throughout the skin and fur because it has an affinity for the sebaceous glands and their secretions. Treated animals are identified by the red coloration of their fur for 3 to 5 days.

• ECTOLINE® POUR-ON is indicated for the treatment and control of the following external parasites in cattle:

Ticks (Rhipicephalus [Boophilus] microplus)
Horn flies (Haematobia irritans)
Chewing lice (Damalinia bovis)
 

Sucking lice (Linognathus vituli)
Naked lice (Dermatobia hominis)
Dosage and Administration:

• The recommended dose is 1 mL per 10 kg of body weight, corresponding to 1 mg of fipronil per kg.

• Apply ECTOLINE® POUR-ON topically along the back from the withers to the base of the tail.

• For optimal results, ECTOLINE® POUR-ON should be applied to all animals in the herd as part of a planned external parasite control program.

• The treatment interval can be at least 2 months but will depend on the severity of the infestation, environmental conditions, and ranch conditions.

• Consult your veterinarian or local entomologist to determine the most appropriate time for treatment.

Precautions:

• ECTOLINE® POUR-ON is for use in beef cattle only. Do not slaughter animals intended for human consumption until 100 days have passed since the last treatment. Do not administer to cattle whose milk is intended for human consumption.

• Keep the product stored in a cool place, protected from light, away from food and medications, and out of the reach of children.

• Avoid contaminating waterways such as rivers, streams, etc.
