NEOVEK™ Extra (DICYCLANIL) Spray-On Sheep Blowfly Treatment

• Neovek Extra Spray-On Sheep Blowfly Treatment contains dicyclanil, a member of the pyrimidine group of chemicals. It is effective against strains of Lucilia cuprina that are sensitive to dicyclanil.
• It is for the protection of sheep, either off-shears or with any length wool (from 4 weeks after shearing), against fly strike caused by dicyclanil-susceptible strains of blowflies (Lucilia cuprina) for up to 29 weeks.
• It also protects mulesing and marking wounds on sheep against fly strike caused by dicyclanil-susceptible strains of blowflies (Lucilia cuprina) during the wound healing process.

Withholding Periods

• Meat: DO NOT USE less than 14 days before slaughter for human consumption
• Wool: DO NOT USE less than 3 months before shearing or fibre collection
• ESI: DO NOT USE less than 9 weeks before slaughter for export

How to use

• NEOVEK EXTRA Spray-On is applied as a low-volume treatment onto areas where protection is required. When applying NEOVEK, the nozzle of the applicator gun should be high enough above the fleece (approximately 15-25 cm), to achieve a 15 cm wide band at each pass for protection of body strike. For treatment of mulesing wounds, the band must be wide enough to cover the wound and 25 mm onto the surrounding wool
• DO NOT apply during gusty or windy weather as spray drift may reduce the period of protection. It is good agricultural practice for mulesing/marking to be carried out at times of minimal fly activity. Reduced efficacy may occur in sheep affected with dermatophilosis

Please note:

• Use only a spray-on application gun.
• Ensure the applicator gun is clean.
• Calibrate applicator gun using an accurate volume measure.
• Ensure all areas to be protected are treated.
• When preventing body strike ensure bands overlap along the mid-line (as in diagram 1).
• When protecting from mulesing wounds from fly strike, take special care to treat the wound and the surrounding 25mm wool (as in diagram 2).
• When protecting marking wounds from fly strike, take special care to treat the wound and surrounding wool (as in diagram 3).
• This product is not recommended for treating existing strikes. Use a product registered as a dressing for existing strikes.
• Heavy rain following the application of this product could diminish the period of protection.
• NEOVEK EXTRA Spray-On contains a scourable colouring agent for easy band identification.
• Withholding periods must be observed following application of NEOVEK EXTRA for any purpose including after mulesing and/or marking as finite residues will occur.
