PHARMACOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

ATCvet QPS3A, ectoparasitic drugs for local application (ATCvet QP53AF01, phoxim)

The active substance of the drug phoxim – ecto­parasiticide of organophosphates, which acts as a contact poison, causing irreversible inhibition of cholinesterase activity that in the cholinergic sys­tem causes disorder in the parasite transmission of nerve impulses, paralysis and death.

Phoxim has high acaricidal and insecticidal effec­tiveness in combination with low toxicity to mam­mals.

APPLICATION

Treatment of cattle, sheep, pigs with lesions of ectoparasites: itch ticks (Psoroptes, Sarcoptes, Chorioptes) lice, sheep ked, flies and fly larvae in wounds.

Cattle: treatment of lesions of ectoparasites: itch ticks (Psoroptes, Sarcoptes, Chorioptes), lice (Hae­matopinus eurystermus), lice (Bovicola bovis), flies and fly larvae in wounds.

Pigs: treatment of lesions of ectoparasites: itch ticks (Psoroptes, Sarcoptes,Chorioptes), lice, flies and fly larvae in wounds.

Sheep: treatment of lesions of ectoparasites: itch ticks (Psoroptes, Sarcoptes,Chorioptes), lice (Li­nognathus pedalis), lice (Bovicola ovis), sheep ked (Melophagus ovinus), flies and fly larvae in wounds.

DOSAGE. Treatment of sheep, cattle and pigs is performed as pour-on solution by bathing, washing and spraying.

Washing and spraying

А) lice, sheep ked, flies, ticks and ixodic tick fly larvae – once with a solution at a rate of 10 ml of Phoxim per 10 liters of water;

Б) itch ticks (Psoroptes, Sarcoptes, Chorioptes) – twice with an interval of 7 days at a rate of 10 ml of Phoxim per 10 liters of water. In case of severe lesions Phoxim concentration doubles – 20 ml of Phoxim per 10 liters of water.

The method of washing

It is recommended to do the washing for each ani­mal individually. Washing the whole body is made with a sponge.

The method of spraying

It is recommended for both individual and for group processing. Different types of sprayers with pres­sure of at least 6 bar (5 atm.) are used. Particular attention is paid to the spaces of possible accumu­lation of parasites (udder, behind the ears, in the perineum and under the tail).

For spraying such amount of working solution per animal is used: for cattle – 3-4 liters; pigs – 0.5-1 l; sheep – 2-3 The method of bathing.

Bathing solution prepared at the rate of 1 liter product per 1000 liters of water. An animal is is immersed into a solution with his head. After using of 10-20% of the solution the volume is supplemented with previously prepared solution: 0.2 liters of Phoxim per 100 liters of water. With an average consumption of 3.5 liters of solution per animal and volume capacity of 1000 liters for bathing supplement of solution should be done after processing of 30-60 animals.

Method of bathing: animals with itch ticks.

All animals in the herd should be treated. The animals are immersed in a solution with a head for 30 seconds. The head should dive twice. It is necessary also to process periodically possible sources of ectoparasites in places where animals are kept (cracks, fences, equipment, etc.).
