On farms with fluke-infested pastures, routine dosing should be carried out at intervals of not less than 49 days (7 weeks), having regard for such factors as the past disease history of the farm, the frequency and severity of neighbouring outbreaks and regional forecasts of incidence.
In outbreaks of acute fascioliasis advice on the best treatment should be sought from a veterinary surgeon.
Cattle: 1.5ml per 50kg (1cwt) liveweight.
Both infected and in-contact animals should be treated, treatment being repeated as considered necessary, though not more frequently than once per 60 days. The treatment of cattle helps reduce contamination of pastures on farms where fascioliasis is endemic or certain roundworm occurrence is evident.
