3 Aerotet Forte Aerotet Forte An aerosol for the treatment of topical superficial infections of the skin and open wounds due to tetracycline sensitive organisms, and to aid in the treatment of foot and hoof infections in cows and horses. Containing gentian violet. Broad spectrum antibacterial spray Marks treated areas Nil withholding Propylene Glycol for emollient effect ACTION: Oxytetracycline is a broad-spectrum antibacterial, specifically inhibiting protein synthesis in susceptible organisms. A very broad anti-infective action is obtained due to the additive effect of all ingredients - oxytetracycline, gentian violet, propylene glycol and isopropyl alcohol. The high proportion of propylene glycol in the base gives an emollient effect. Gentian violet is an astringent antiseptic healing aid, and also offers obvious marking of treated areas. PRECAUTIONS: Keep out of reach of children. Not to be taken or administered orally. Do not inhale vapour; use in a well-ventilated area. Do not apply to eyes or other mucous membranes. Contents under pressure. Do not puncture or incinerate. Keep away from naked flames. DESCRIPTION: An aerosol can of 200g, delivering 4.4% OXYTETRACYCLINE HCl and 0.4% GENTIAN VIOLET in an emollient solution for external application, with hydrocarbon as the propellant. WITHOLDING PERIODS: NIL DOSAGE: Clean the area of any discharges or debris prior to application. For foot infection, trim the hoof to expose infection. Shake can well. Holding the can 10-15cm from the affected area, spray a 1-2 second burst, or more as required. Keep the area dry following application. Repeat the administration every 12 hours or as required.

7 Campylovexin Provides protection against all the strains of Campylobacter in New Zealand. Stimulates immunity to C. fetus fetus thus protecting sheep against Campylobacter abortion. The only Campylobacter vaccine with proven efficacy against all known New Zealand strains of C. fetus fetus. Proven in the field for 30 years Proven to reduce abortion rates Shown to improve tailing % by 9.3% CAMPYLOVEXIN PROTECTS AGAINST ALL 26 NEW ZEALAND STRAINS OF CAMPYLOBACTER FETUS FETUS: Campylovexin is the only vaccine proven to protect against all 26 strains of Campylobacter fetus fetus so far identified in New Zealand. Its effectiveness has been conclusively proven in a three year PhD research investigation and in thirty years of successful use on New Zealand farms. Tens of millions of sheep and thousands of farmers bear testament to how well Campylovexin protects against one of the major causes of reduced lambing performance. DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION: Administer by subcutaneous injection only. Inject 2mL in the anterior half of the neck. EWES: In the first year give a sensitiser and booster dose 4-8 weeks apart. Both vaccinations should be given prior to mating. In following years an annual booster should be administered prior to mating. NEW STOCK being introduced to the breeding flock: Give 2 vaccinations 4-8 weeks apart, prior to mating.

Packs of 250mL and 500mL. Stimulates production of antibodies against C. fetus fetus. INDICATIONS: For use where there is risk of abortion due to C. fetus fetus. Protects against C. fetus fetus abortions in sheep and consequently can contribute toward improving lambing performance. SIDE EFFECTS: A slight reaction may occur at the site of injection but will normally disappear in a few weeks. Occasionally, for up to a week after vaccination, some ewes may develop symptoms ranging from mild loss of appetite through to ataxia, recumbency and death. Affected ewes may respond to treatment with metabolic solutions containing calcium and magnesium but hypomagnesaemia is not necessarily the primary cause. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Do not use within 1 week of start of mating (see side effects). WITHHOLDING PERIOD: Meat and Milk: NIL Registered pursuant to the ACVM Act 1997 No. A4130.

8 Vaccination against Campylobacter disease improves productivity. Ten years worth of scanning information involving more than 600 sets of flock data has thrown new light on the path to better productivity. It highlighted a range of management practices (e.g. shearing dates, grazing policy) that impact on both conception rates and tailing percentages. One key factor in lambing performance identified in the analysis is vaccination against Campylobacter disease with Campylovexin. Analysis of the scanning data showed that vaccinated flocks enjoyed significantly better protection against losses caused by Campylobacter disease than unvaccinated flocks on the same property. Campylobacter disease is a major cause of lambing losses. These can manifest themselves as abortion storms or more isolated and hard-to-detect abortions. Analysis of the scanning data has shown a positive response to vaccination, even on properties where Campylobacter has never been diagnosed. Cost Benefit Analysis of using Campylovexin. Animals are vaccinated to: a. Prevent abortions to protect ewes against contracting campylobacter disease, and aborting their foetuses. Abortions mainly occur after the third month of pregnancy. b. To prevent infected ewes spreading the disease to other ewes. An aborting ewe rarely shows a systemic effect, however, C. fetus fetus may persist in the uterine discharge for up to 6 weeks. c. To prevent reduced fertility recent evidence based on response to vaccination suggests C. f fetus is also a cause of reduced fertility. Profitability Abortions on farm are a production loss as is reduced fertility, even low levels can have a significant impact on the farm business profitability. Campylobacter leads to significant losses in productivity. It is one of the leading causes of ewe abortions, and it produces weakened lambs that are much more likely to not survive. These losses are preventable. Vaccination with Campylovexin as part of your clients lambing performance programmes will protect against abortions, increase lamb viability and significantly improve productivity for your clients. Analysis of nine years of largescale scanning data demonstrates the benefits of vaccinating with Campylovexin. Camplyovexin provides maximum protection for the flock achieving maximum productivity. New Zealand produced Campylobacter vaccine protects against lamb losses. Vaccinating against Campylobacter disease protects unborn lambs from the infectious bacteria that invade the placenta and foetus. By protecting these lambs and helping prevent abortion losses, your tailing percentages can be significantly improved. Even if campylobacter has not been diagnosed on your farm, the disease may well be present. Preventative vaccination could help eliminate a hardto-detect but important cause of lamb losses. Campylobacter jejuni is commonly isolated from the faeces of normal healthy domestic animals, poultry, pigs, cattle, sheep and wild birds. As examples, Meanger and Marshall 2 found up to a third of cows sampled in a NZ study were intestinal carriers. Adhikari et al 3 found C. jejuni in the faeces of 54% of dairy cows, 40% of urban sparrows, 11% of rodents and 9% of flies. Furthermore, it is often reported as a contaminant of sheep and cattle carcasses at meat plants and in unpasteurised milk. The role of C. jejuni as a primary pathogen is uncertain. It has been isolated from scouring cattle and sheep. It is considered as a minor cause of abortion in sheep in New Zealand. It is not considered a cause of infertility. Most animals have antibodies against this organism from natural exposure to this ubiquitous organism. Data from Gribbles Veterinary Pathology shows that the majority of campylobacter cases are due to C. fetus fetus not C. jejuni. farms were C. fetus fetus and 4 (5%) isolates from 3 (11%) of farms were C. jejuni6. 3. A detailed study 1,7 of 320 NZ wide sheep abortion campylobacter isolates from 221 farms in 2000 showed that 92% of isolates from 90% of farms were C. fetus fetus and 10% from 8% of farms were C.jejuni. C. coli was isolated once. Regionally there was considerable variation, however given the small number of isolates in some regions this data must be interpreted with caution. In summary, the great majority of campylobacter abortions in sheep are caused by C. fetus fetus. C.jejuni is isolated in a minor number of sheep abortions that appear to be regional in nature. 20 Data from Gribbles Veterinary Pathology shows that the majority of campylobacter cases as a % of total submissions in both 2004 (11.2 vs. 1.1%) and 2005 (14.5 vs. 1.8%) were due to C. fetus fetus not C. jejuni. 1. A report on sheep abortion diagnoses in South Otago for 1999 shows 17.2% of all cases due to C. fetus fetus and 3.1% due to C. jejuni A study of 85 campylobacter sheep abortion isolates in 1999 from 28 Hawkes Bay farms showed 81 (95%) isolates from 25 (89%) % of cases Total 2004 Total 2005 C. fetus fetus C. jejuni 1.

13 FlukeCare +Se Liver Fluke bites profits! Impact on milk production Suggested values for milk loss due to liver fluke infection are up to 1 kg/day over a lactation 1. A heavy infection can cost around 300L in lost milk production per cow per year. The effect of liver fluke (fasciola hepatica) on milk production is well documented 2. In high risk fluke areas fluke is a significant threat to milk production. In cattle, fluke can cause a loss in body condition, a drop in milk yield and fertility, and sometimes diarrhoea. It can also increase susceptibility of the animals to other infections and metabolic disorders. A high incidence of liver fluke infestation can reduce milk butterfat concentration 3. Impact on Reproduction Liver fluke infections have been shown to reduce conception rates in heifers by 50% 4. Impact on growth rate Liver fluke infection in growing cattle has been shown to depress live weight gain by between 0.07 kg/week and 1.2 kg/week, depending on the size of the fluke burden 1. A heavy infection can cost up to 28.5% 5,6 in reduced weight gain. Liver fluke (fasciola hepatica) can affect weight gains in young growing cattle having a direct effect on your income. The graph below charts the reduction in body weight expressed as weight loss in grams per week on calves in differing severity of liver fluke infection. Impact on weaning weights Crossland et al (1977), cited by Clarkson showed that ewes with 33 flukes had a 14% reduction in output, attributed to fewer births, lower birth weights and decreased weight gains of Iambs. 7 Reid & Armour (1978), cited by Clarkson showed that lambs from ewes with 40 flukes were 5 kg lighter at weaning than lambs from ewes with only 2 flukes 7. Impact on wool yield Roseby (1970), cited by Clarkson obtained a reduction in production of 20-39% of wool in ewes with 186 flukes compared with uninfected controls 7. Edwards, al-saigh, Williams and Chamberlain (1976), cited by Clarkson showed that infection with 100,500 and 1,000 met a cercariae (mc) reduced wool production over a year by 24%, 30% and 44%, respectively 7. Hawkins & Morris (1978), cited by Clarkson showed that sheep harbouring 45 flukes had a 14% reduction in wool, 67 flukes a 22% reduction and 230 flukes a 33% reduction 7. A study in 1984 showed that when sheep were infected with liver fluke for between 8 to 12 weeks, the reduction in appetite alone caused a reduction in wool growth of between 19.5% to 21.3% 8. When fluke were stopped in their tracks and killed early in their life cycle at 4 weeks of age, the suppression of appetite still had an impact on wool growth but at a significantly lower level than older infections. Each fluke can cause the loss of 0.5ml of blood per day from the liver. A moderate infestation in cattle of fluke can lead to blood loss of up to half a litre each week, so often infected animals can be anaemic.

14 Flumenil Pour On Scientifically formulated to kill ticks at every stage of the lifecycle larvae, nymph and adult in deer, dairy and beef cattle. Treats and controls all 3 stages of lifecycle Nil meat and milk withholding Rainfast DESCRIPTION: ACTIVE CONSTITUENT: 10g/L Flumethrin. Available in 1L and 5L. Flumenil Pour On is active against all 3 stages of the New Zealand cattle tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) lifecycle. It also causes infertility of ticks which survive treatment, by inhibiting egg laying or rendering eggs sterile. This action helps reduce contamination of pasture. Cattle and Deer MEAT: Nil. MILK: Nil. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Apply Flumenil Pour On evenly along the midline of the back from the front of the shoulders to the tail head. Use a plastic measuring cup or automatic drenching gun to apply. Retreatment should be undertaken when ticks start to reappear. For optimum control of ticks on deer, breeding hinds should be treated every three weeks from August to fawning. This program will reduce the number of nymphs reaching the adult stage, which infest fawn during November/December. Treatment of hinds can be continued after fawning if this is practical. Other stock should be treated every three weeks from August, or as required. RAIN RESISTANCE: Control of ticks is not affected by rain falling within a few hours of treatment.

20 Lepto 2-Way Lepto 2-Way For the control of leptospirae infection in cattle by immunisation against Leptospirae interrogans serovar hardjo and L. interrogans serovar pomona. To prevent urinary shedding of leptospirae of the named serovars, and thus reduce the risk of human Leptospirosis infection. Low risk of site reactions after vaccination Duration of protection for at least 12 months after primary vaccination Ease of use, minimal agitation required Lepto 3-Way Lepto 3-Way For the control of leptospirae infection in cattle by immunisation against Leptospirae interrogans serovar hardjo, L. interrogans serovar copenhageni (icterohaemorrhagia) and L. interrogans serovar pomona. To prevent urinary shedding of leptospirae of the named serovars, and thus reduce the risk of human Leptospirosis infection. Low risk of site reactions after vaccination Duration of protection for at least 12 months after primary vaccination Ease of use, minimal agitation required INDICATIONS: For the control of leptospirae infection in cattle by immunisation against Leptospirae interrogans serovar hardjo and L. interrogans serovar pomona (Lepto 2 Way) and L. interrogans copenhageni (Lepto 3 Way). To prevent urinary shedding of leptospirae of the named serovars, and thus reduce the risk of human Leptospirosis infection. DOSAGE: Cattle: 2 ml by subcutaneous injection, given into the anterior half of the neck; with a further dose of 2 ml given four to six weeks later. Note: the dose of 2 ml is recommended for all life-stages. All animals then require a single 2 ml booster injection each 12 months. HERD VACCINATION: To begin a herd vaccination program all animals must be vaccinated in the autumn, with a second dose given 4-6 weeks later. An annual booster dose must be given each autumn. Calves, cows and pigs intended for introduction to a herd must receive 2 doses, 4-6 weeks apart. This programme is applicable to dairy or beef herds. VACCINATION OF CALVES: Early vaccination of calves is advisable to protect against acute Leptospirosis ( red-water ), and to minimise the risk of animals becoming carriers prior to vaccination. A course may begin from 12 weeks of age, but in this case it is essential to administer a booster dose at 6 to 9 months of age, to align with future herd vaccination. In all cases, two doses should be given, 4-6 weeks apart, and finishing no later than 9 months of age, and a booster vaccination should be given within 12 months. This may require a further single dose of vaccine to align calves vaccinated out of season (i.e. when young, or in a town supply herd), with the annual herd booster in autumn. INTRODUCED STOCK: In the absence of known prior vaccination, dose twice at a 4-6 week interval. To eliminate possible shedding from animals already leptospirosis infected, a course of dihydrostreptomycin (3 25 mg/kg) is recommended. DESCRIPTION: Lepto 2 Way: This vaccine is prepared from cultured strains of Leptospira interrogans serovars hardjo and pomona. Lepto 3 Way: This vaccine is prepared from cultured strains of Leptospira interrogans serovars hardjo, copenhageni (icterohaemorrhagiae) and pomona. Stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against the organisms L. interrogans serovars hardjo, and pomona (Lepto 2 Way), and L. interrogans copenhageni (Lepto 3 Way), the main causes of leptospirae infection in cattle. In cattle challenged with live cultures of the serovar L. hardjo shedding of leptospirae in the urine was prevented by vaccination with Lepto 2-Way and Lepto 3 Way. ADMINISTRATION: 2 ml by subcutaneous injection, given into the anterior half of the neck. Registered pursuant to the ACVM Act 1997 No. A9166, A8314. See for registration conditions.

21 Extensive controlled challenge trials and a New Zealand study confirm Lepto 2-Way and Lepto 3-Way s ability to: Prevent cattle shedding and Renal Colonisation Prevention from shedding viable leptospires in vaccinated cattle after challenge with live cultures of all three serovars compared to unvaccinated controls and therefore providing protection against L. hardjo, L. pomona, L. icterohaemorrhagiae bacteraemia. Vaccinates challenged with either L. pomona or L. icterohaemorrhagiae failed to demonstrate viable leptospires in serial urine samples for all animals on all occasions of sampling. Excellent results were also seen for L. hardjo most clearly demonstrated when only a single sensitiser vaccination prevented viable leptospires being recovered from serial urine samples after challenge. The entire unvaccinated control group had leptospires recovered on at least one occasion demonstrating that challenge was highly effective. Provide Protective Antibody Response Micro agglutination titres (MAT) to all three serovars (hardjo, pomona and icterohaemorrhagiae) show a significant rise in vaccinated animals, whether they received one or two vaccinations. As would be expected, the titre rise was higher in the group that received the two vaccinations at a four week interval. The MA antibody titres followed the pattern that would be expected. Importantly they remained negative in the unvaccinated control group (indicating no natural infection or challenge occurred). Provide 12 months Duration of Immunity In the majority of animals, MA titres decline by 6 months post vaccination so some other means of determination of duration of immunity is required. The indirect passive protection test involves removing serum from vaccinated cattle at defined times after vaccination and administering it to laboratory animals that are then challenged with leptospires. Fatalities and subsequent recovery of leptospires from kidneys in negative controls are compared to serum treated animals. Protection for a minimum of 12 months was demonstrated against L. pomona and 18 months for L. icterohaemorrhagia in these studies Provide full protection against all serovars contained in each vaccine Challenge studies using micro-agglutination titre levels, passive protection models and leptospiral survival in bovine blood. These forms of testing are robust methods of testing. The Passive Protection test is an animal model used to prove that antibodies developed in cattle after vaccination with Lepto 2-Way and Lepto 3-Way are protective against challenge. This form of testing is also commonly used in batch potency testing. New Zealand trial work conducted in 2007 with Lepto 3-Way supports that annual vaccination timing is important to provide adequate levels of colostrum transfer. In this study it was found that calves from cows or heifers vaccinated less than 60 days before they calved were more likely to record low or negative MA titres to leptospira hardjo (Chart 1). Whilst even low titres may still be protective, higher levels are more likely to protect for longer. The data demonstrates that as the period between vaccination and calving increases towards 90 days, the prevalence of low titres to L. hardjo decreases. Immunoglobulin levels measured in this study also support the suggestion that higher overall levels of IgG derived from colostrum in neonatal calves is associated with higher serum MA titres to leptospira serovar hardjo. To ensure calves are given the best opportunity from birth to be adequately protected against leptospirosis it is important to consider the following points Cows / Heifers are in good health and adequately fed. Vaccination is performed with a vaccine that stimulates antibody production and in New Zealand, one that also demonstrates proven lack of renal shedding after challenge by L. hardjo-bovis. Timing vaccination to allow for maximum antibody concentration coincident with synthesis of colostrum in the mammary gland. Therefore optimum timing depends upon: Calving date. Time before calving that colostrum is synthesised. Time between vaccination and maximum antibody titres expected in the dam. Adequate ingestion of colostrum by the calf after birth to achieve transfer of antibodies. Lepto 3-Way outlined in this information is relevant to the three serovars contained in the vaccine which is L. hardjo, L. pomona and L. icterohaemorrhagiae.

26 Nitroclox TM LA Nitroclox LA Nitroclox LA is an intramammary formulation containing 200mg cloxacillin in a long-acting base. Available in boxes of 21 single-dose syringes. Flexible treatment options - 24 or 48 hourly treatment intervals, TAD, OAD Registered extended therapy claim of 3 to 6 tubes given 24 hours apart New Zealand trial work Cloxacillin, is a semi-synthetic isoxazolyl penicillin. There are a considerable number of reports in the literature showing that Streptococcus uberis is the main cause of mastitis in the early part of the lactation season and that penicillin is the drug of choice for such infections. Later in the season, Staphylococcus aureus and other pathogens become more important. Penicillin alone is not effective against many strains of S. aureus because it is inactivated by the beta lactamase enzymes these strains produce. Cloxacillin is resistant to the action of beta lactamases and so is effective against all strains of S. aureus, as well as streptococci and Trueperella pyogenes. INDICATION: Treatment of mastitis infections in lactating cows. DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION: Clean and disinfect the udder, paying particular attention to the teat orifice. Administer the entire contents of 1 syringe per infected quarter immediately following milking. Massage the infused contents of each syringe up the teat canal. Repeat the treatment twice more at 24 hour intervals, i.e. 3 x 24 hourly treatments. Three syringes provide a full course of treatment. If required, an extended treatment of 6 syringes at 24-hour intervals may be given. MILK: When milking twice a day: for 3 to 6 x 24-hour doses or 3 x 48-hour doses, 84 hours (7 milkings) following the last treatment. When milking once a day: 3 x 24-hour doses, 72 hours (3 x once-a-day milkings) following the last treatment. MEAT: 7 days. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Not for the treatment of infections caused by organisms that are not susceptible, or have developed resistance, to cloxacillin. Not to be used in animals with a known history of sensitivity to products containing penicillin. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: Penicillins may cause hypersensitivity (allergy) following injection, ingestion or skin contact.

27 Nitromec Injection Combat Nitromec Injection Triple active broad spectrum anthelmintic flukicidal injection for cattle. It s easy to see the benefits of using Combat Nitromec Injection, the world s first triple active broad spectrum anthelmintic flukicidal injection for cattle that treats all three stages of liver fluke infection. The only injectable that treats all three stages of liver fluke with superior control of early immature liver fluke. Proven superiority over pour-on flukicides. Potent 3-in-1 combination of Nitroxynil, Clorsulon & Ivermectin. Nitroxynil is a halogenated phenol with activity against adult stages of liver fluke and some parasitic nematodes by uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation and changes in the permeability of fluke muscle membranes. Clorsulon is a benzenesulphonamide that is believed to inhibit glycolysis in fluke leading to starvation and death. Ivermectin has its lethal effect on invertebrates through its action upon muscle glutamate gated chloride channels causing irreversible chloride-dependent depolarisation. Somatic and pharyngeal muscles become paralysed leading to death of the parasites. INDICATIONS: For the treatment and control of the following Ivermectin sensitive internal and external parasites of Cattle: Gastro-intestinal roundworms: For the control of adult and immature: Ostertagia ostertagi Small brown stomach worms (including third and fourth stage larvae and inhibited immatures) Haemonchus spp. Barber s pole worm Trichostrongylus axei Stomach hair work (including third and fourth stage larvae) Trichostrongylus colubriformis Intestinal hair worm Cooperia spp Small intestinal worm (including third and fourth stage larvae) Oesophagostomum radiatum Nodule worm (including third and fourth stage larvae) Bunostomum phlebotomum (including third and fourth stage larvae) And adult stages of: Trichuris spp. Whipworm Strongyloides papillosus Intestinal worm Lungworms: adult and immature including inhibited stages of Dictyocaulus viviparus Sucking Lice: Linognathus vituli Long nosed sucking louse Haematopinus eurysternus Short nosed sucking louse Solenopotes capillatus Little blue sucking louse And also aids in control of: Biting Lice: Bovicola (Damalinia) bovis For the treatment and control of: Early Immature (including 2-week old), Immature and Adult Liver Fluke: Fasciola hepatica WARNING: Do not use on lactating cows or pregnant cattle that may in the future produce milk for human consumption. WITHHOLDING PERIOD: MEAT: Animals producing meat and offal for human consumption must not be sold for slaughter either during treatment or within 56 days of the last treatment. Calves born to cows treated with Combat Nitromec during pregnancy must not be slaughtered from human consumption within 56 days of calving. Where intramuscular injection may have occurred, animals producing meat and offal for human consumption must not be slaughtered within 91 days of the last treatment. MILK: Do not use on lactating cows or pregnant cattle that may in the future produce milk for human consumption. STORAGE: Store below 30 C. Store bottle in carton to protect from light.

28 Ovastim Ovastim An easy to use PAR that increases the eggs available in a ewe for fertilisation by the ram, increasing fecundity and encouraging twinning. Contains polyandroalbumin as the active ingredient. Ovastim is a vaccine used to increase the fecundity in breeding ewes. Proven by New Zealand and Australian trials Can be used at the same time as Campylovexin Up to 24 months between booster vaccinations INDICATIONS: Ovastim is a conjugated sterate, which will increase the ovulation rate in prime lamb producing ewes and consequently will increase the number of lambs born. Ovastim is not recommended for Merino ewes. Encouraging multiple births in Merino flocks is not good farming practice. Ewes in poor condition, due to inadequate nutrition or disease such as parasitic disease, may not respond. It is essential that the flock be managed as a twin bearing flock. Adequate nutrition, shelter and supervision must be provided to ensure maximum survival. Above average Increase in body weight of ewes is an indicator of potential twins. These ewes should be drafted from the main mob and managed as for twin births and survival. Ovastim is suited to high yielding lamb production systems and rapid breeding of replacement stock. WHEN DO I USE OVASTIM? Flexibility the key for Farmer use! Ovastim recommended treatment protocol. PRIMARY COURSE 2 injections required 1st dose : 2ml dose given 6-9 weeks before mating (sensitiser) 2nd dose: 2ml dose given 3-4 weeks before mating (booster) Note: 1. There must be at least 3 weeks between the sensitiser and booster 2. There must be at least 3 weeks between the booster and ram joining 3. There is some flexibility regarding the period between sensitiser and booster (3-6 weeks is acceptable). 1ST DOSE PRIMARY COURSE 2ND DOSE 9 WEEKS 6 WEEKS 3 WEEKS INTRODUCE RAMS ANNUAL BOOSTER Previously treated ewes should be given one 2ml dose 3-4 weeks before mating. A single booster vaccination administered up to 24 months (2 years) after previous vaccination has been demonstrated by trial work, to result in an increase in fecundity. DESCRIPTION: Ovastim is a sterile, clear & colourless solution containing Polyandroalbumin 600mg/L. For subcutaneous injection, available in 100 ml (50 dose) glass multidose vials and a 1L Flexipack (500 doses). Ovastim causes a specific androstenedione antibody response, which increases ovulation. Ovulation rate is the most important determinant in the number of lambs born. The increase in lambs is primarily through an increase in the number of twin births. Ovastim produces a natural response and does not adversely affect the survival rate or growth rate of lambs. MEAT AND MILK: Nil DOSAGE: Not for use in rams. Not recommended for merino ewes. Administer by subcutaneous injection only. Registered pursuant to the ACVM Act 1997, Nos A8081, A4130. See for registration conditions. Only available under Veterinary Authorisation.

31 Oxyfoam Forte Oxyfoam Forte Foaming pessary for therapy and/or prophylaxis of puerperal genital infections in cows. For use in the treatment of abortion, retained placenta, endometritis, and pyometritis, when oxytetracycline sensitive organisms are present. Infection prevention. Superior Foaming Action Broad Spectrum Practical Waterproof Packaging ACTION: The broad-spectrum antibiotic oxytetracycline is effective in the treatment and prevention of puerperal infections, because it has a pronounced effect on a wide range of Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria. On contact of the tablet with the uterine fluids, at least 2 litres of carbon dioxide foam is produced, which spreads the antibiotic throughout the uterine cavity, and ensures intimate contact with the entire endometrium. INDICATIONS: For therapy and/or prophylaxis of puerperal genital infections in cows. For use in the treatment of abortion, retained placenta, endometritis, and pyometritis, when oxytetracycline sensitive organisms are present. An adjunct in treatment of prolapse of the uterus and/or vagina and complicated parturition: when these conditions may include or predispose to infection. Oxyfoam pessaries have superior foaming characteristics from a competitor 1g oxytetracycline pessary with which it was compared. It could be extrapolated that this could mean that intrauterine dispersion of oxytetracycline would be superior for Oxyfoam compared with its competitor product. It would also take a smaller volume of water to disperse the Oxyfoam pessary in a dry uterus. PRECAUTIONS: Resistance may develop to any chemical. Ask your local veterinarian or animal health advisor for recommended parasite management practices for your area to reduce the development of resistance.

34 Directions for use Unscrew the cap and remove the tamper-proof seal using the tool at the end of the cap. Invert and tap the applicator to allow a droplet of vaccine to fall onto the vaccination site. Generally this is the inner thigh region of the animal. Make two (2) scratches (Approx. 25mm) forming an X through the droplet. The skin must be broken, but do not scratch so heavily that blood washes the vaccine away. The blue coloured vaccine should be visible along the scratches. Unscrew cap and remove tamper-proof seal with the tool in the cap Invert and tap the applicator to allow a droplet of vaccine to fall onto the vaccination site Mark thighs with two scratches in an X formation through the droplet Note: Vaccine must make contact with the scratches for the induction of a take Cleaning Occasionally the applicator may become blocked with sheep wool. To clear pull wire gently (preferably with pliers) until it stops and re-insert. Note: Care is to be taken not to have contact with the vaccine. Evaluation Vaccination will induce the formation of a macropapullar lesion at the vaccination site. The lesion typically appears as a whitish thickened or raised area about the skin over the scratch mark, often up to 2-5mm across with accompanying reddening to the surrounding periphery approximately 5-8 days after vaccination. Examine a minimum of 20 animals to evaluate the vaccination process. Any animals that have not had takes of their vaccination should be revaccinated and examined after a further 8 days. Phenax Classic Scabby Mouth Vaccine is potent and is thoroughly tested before distribution. Failure to produce takes in vaccinated animals may be due to poor vaccination technique, pre-existing immunity in the vaccinated animals, or vaccine used outside the expiry date for the batch. Successful take Raised area of skin whitish in colour Unsuccessful take Thin brown line of healing scratch Post-vaccination care Vaccinated animals can be returned to conventional pasture conditions. It is advisable to avoid grazing animals on pastures where heavy growth of thistle, gorse or other rough fodder is available for up to 25 days following vaccination. Vaccinated animals seldom contract overt scabby mouth and re-vaccination is not necessary 33

36 Trials Study 1: Assessing carbohydrate digestibility Based on the production of Hydrogen from residual carbohydrates by gut microflora. Hydrogen is mainly eliminated via dissolution in the blood, then expired across alveoli. By feeding a standard dose of carbohydrate and measuring breath hydrogen over several hours it is possible to estimate the efficiency of utilisation. This is a sensitive test, widely used in human studies. Lactulose is undigestable and used as a benchmark for comparison. Breath Hydrogen (ppm) Breath hydrogen in calves following oral carbohydrates Time after ingestion (h) 150g Rice Flour 150g Maize Flour 135g Glucose 135g Lactulose Study 2: Assessing sugars for digestibility in calves Studies at AHSC, Massey comparing monosaccharide, disaccharide, & combinations. The results demonstrate that the ratio of the disaccharide lactose and monosaccharide glucose are optimal in Revive and Diarrest for complete utilisation of the sugar content and is superior to a monosaccharide only ORT. Even a relatively small increase in the amount of lactose markedly increases breath hydrogen indicating incomplete digestion of carbohydrates.

37 SMARTShot B 12 + Se SMARTShot B 12 + Se An oily suspension, containing 12mg/mL selenium as barium selenate and 3mg/mL hydroxocobalamin hydrochloride encapsulated in a lactide/glycolide co-polymer for extended release. Available in 500mL pillow packs. Flexible treatment options - tailor dose to suit length of efficacy required in lambs Veterinary world-first patented microencapsulation technology Long-acting Vitamin B 12 & Selenium injection Convenient Plastic Pillow pack The gradual dissolution of the encapsulating polymer produces a steady, prolonged release of vitamin B 12, which is necessary for optimal energy and protein metabolism in ruminants. The extended release of selenium assists in maintaining the integrity of cell membranes, the functioning of the immune system and healthy thyroid activity. INDICATION: Long term prevention and treatment of cobalt (vitamin B 12 ) and selenium deficiencies in sheep and cattle, especially when grazing cobalt and selenium deficient pastures. Cobalt deficiency in soil or pasture leads to low vitamin B 12 in body tissues. Vitamin B 12 is an essential cofactor for energy and protein metabolism in ruminants and a deficiency may cause anorexia leading to ill thrift, starvation and poor growth, particularly in young animals. Selenium is an essential trace element that influences the responsiveness of the immune system and maintains the integrity of cell membranes through the action of the antioxidant selenoenzyme, glutathione peroxidase. A deficiency can cause white muscle disease (myopathy), limits the growth of young animals and reduces fertility in ewes and cows. DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION: Shake well before and during use to ensure the product is fully re-suspended. Administer only with the SmartShot injector, by s/c or i/m injection into the anterior half of the neck. Sterilise all injection apparatus before use. Needles should be changed frequently and as necessary. Avoid simultaneous use of other selenium-containing products LAMBS AT DOCKING: 0.5mL for lambs that are to be fattened for slaughter. 1mL for lambs that are to be kept as ewe replacements. LAMBS AT WEANING: 2mL. EWES: 5mL. CALVES: 1mL/25kg l.w.. PERSISTENT ACTIVITY: LAMBS FOR SLAUGHTER: Following injection of lambs with 0.5mL from 3 weeks of age (at docking time), vitamin B 12 and selenium levels will be maintained at adequate concentrations for 3-4 months until time of slaughter. LAMBS AS EWE REPLACEMENTS: Following injection of lambs with 1mL from 3 weeks of age (at docking time), vitamin B 12 and selenium levels will be maintained at adequate concentrations for 180 days, and in some cases the effect may last for days for vitamin B 12 and 300 days for selenium. However, users are advised to consult their veterinarian before assuming adequacy beyond 180 days. EWES: Following the pre-mating injection of ewes, vitamin B 12 and selenium levels will be maintained at adequate concentrations for 180 days, and in some cases the effect may be for days (especially for selenium). However, users are advised to consult their veterinarian before assuming adequacy beyond 180 days. Adequate levels will be maintained in the offspring until 1 month of age for vitamin B 12 and from birth to weaning for selenium. CALVES: Following injection of calves from 3 weeks of age, serum vitamin B 12 levels will be maintained at concentrations ensuring adequacy for up to 3½ months and selenium levels for at least 10 months.

41 TopLine For the treatment and control of Abamectin sensitive internal and external parasites of beef and dairy cattle. State-of-the-art science, the last word in Abamectin pour-on formulations for cattle. Persistent activity against biting and sucking lice for 56 days Nil Milk withhold Rain fast INDICATIONS: For the treatment and control of adult and immature stages of Gastro-intestinal roundworms: Ostertagia ostertagi - Small brown stomach worms (including inhibited stages) Trichostrongylus axei - Stomach hair worm Trichostrongylus colubriformis Hair worm Haemonchus spp Barber s pole worm Oesophagostomum radiatum - Nodule worm Cooperia oncophora* Small intestine worm Cooperia punctata* - Small intestine worm Nematodirus spathiger - Thin necked intestinal worm Oesophagostomum venulosum - Large bowel worm Trichuris spp - Whipworm Strongyloides papillosus - Intestinal worm * Active against immature stages of some New Zealand ML resistant strains of Cooperia spp. LUNGWORM: Dictyocaulus viviparus. SUCKING LICE AND BITING LICE: Linognathus vituli Long nosed sucking louse Haematopinus eurysternus Short nosed sucking louse Damalinia bovis - Biting louse Solenopotes capillatus Little blue sucking louse. PERSISTENT ACTIVITY: At the recommended dose rate, TopLine effectively prevents reinfestation from the biting louse Damilinia bovis and the sucking louse Linognathus vituli for at least 56 days. RAIN RESISTANCE: For best results it is recommended that TopLine be applied to dry animals. However, rainfall before and after use will not affect efficacy. PRODUCTION ENHANCEMENT: Increases milk production in grazing dairy cows. Data has shown that milk production increases by a median of approximately +0.6kg liquid milk per day when cows or heifers infected with gastrointestinal nematode parasites are treated with an effective anthelmintic; this increase occurs without any reduction in milk quality. SIMULTANEOUS USE WITH SELENIUM POUR-ON PRODUCTS: Studies show that the use of this product at the recommended dose at the same time as selenium pour-on products should not adversely affect efficacy against abomasal and small intestinal nematodes. DESCRIPTION: ACTIVE CONSTITUENT: 10mg/mL (1% w/v) Abamectin. Liveweight kg Dose Volume =ml Cattle Treated per 5L Available in 2.5L and 5L Topline contains Abamectin, a member of the Avermectin family of drenches.

42 Tyloguard RTU Injection Tyloguard A sterile ready to use injectable solution containing 200mg/mL tylosin base. Manufactured in New Zealand. Available in 75mL and 200mL pillow packs. Dose-specific 75mL pack and larger 200mL available Tylosin base as active Registered by i/v route and milk withholding for combination therapy with Mastiguard MC Convenient Plastic Pillow packs Needles & syringes supplied Tylosin is a member of the macrolide group of antibiotics. It is active against the most common mastitis pathogens isolated from cases of bovine mastitis in New Zealand. Due to the ph trap phenomenon Tylosin will selectively accumulate in areas of low ph, as for example occurs in inflamed udder tissue. INDICATION: Treatment of bacterial and mycoplasmal infections caused by tylosin-sensitive organisms in cattle, sheep, pigs and goats, eg. mastitis, respiratory infections, footrot, metritis, dysentery, erysipelas, etc. DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION: Administer by i/m injection in the anterior half of the neck. In cattle, the SLOW i/v route may be used. CATTLE and CALVES: 5 10mg/kg b.w. (2.5 5mL/100kg) daily for no more than 5 days. If the i/v route is used initially, maintain therapeutic levels by administering an i/m dose 12 hours later. For difficult cases of mastitis, treatment may be combined with a course of the intramammary, Mastiguard Milking Cow. For details, see leaflet provided with the product. PIGS: 5 10mg/kg b.w. (2.5 5mL/100kg) daily for no more than 3 days. SHEEP and GOATS: 10mg/kg b.w. (2.5mL/50kg) daily for no more than 5 days. MILK: Bovine milk 72 hours (6 milkings).

SIDE EFFECTS: As with any injectable, a reaction may occur in some animals, eg. pain and swelling at the injection site. On rare occasions, there may be oedema and protrusion of the rectal mucosa and erythema in pigs and cattle. However, these reactions resolve when treatment is discontinued. OTHER INFORMATION: Protect from direct sunlight. Store below 30 C. Registered pursuant to the ACVM Act 1997, No. A9713.

43 Vibrostrep A sterile, aqueous high potency solution containing 500,000i.u. streptomycin/ml (250mg dihydrostreptomycin, as sulphate) and 250mg streptomycin, as sulphate. Manufactured in New Zealand and available in 100mL pillow packs. First-choice antibiotic for Woody Tongue & Vibriosis Made in New Zealand Convenient Plastic Pillow packs Dihydrostreptomycin and streptomycin interfere with protein synthesis in susceptible strains of bacteria. The slight differences in structure between the two drugs allow some bacteria to be resistant to one drug but not the other. INDICATION: Treatment of vibriosis (campylobacteriosis), leptospirosis, actinobacillosis and infections caused by organisms susceptible to dihydrostreptomycin and streptomycin in pigs, sheep and cattle. DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION: By i/m or s/c injection. In animals producing food, injection must be in the anterior half of the neck. COWS for BOVINE VIBRIOSIS (campylobacteriosis): Infuse 2 10mL into the uterus and inject 3 4mL/100kg b.w. by i/m or s/c injection, daily for 3 days. BULLS for BOVINE VIBRIOSIS (campylobacteriosis): Infuse 2 10mL into the preputial cavity, massaging in, and give 3 4mL/100kg b.w. by i/m or s/c injection, daily for 3 days. PIGS, SHEEP and CATTLE: For the treatment of vibriosis (campylobacteriosis), leptospirosis, actinobacillosis (woody tongue) and other infections caused by organisms susceptible to streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin, inject 3 4mL/100kg b.w. once daily, for 3 days by i/m or s/c injection. Daily administration of 5,000,000 units of penicillin may improve the effectiveness of treatment. Lower doses may lead to a build-up of resistant bacteria. Higher doses may be used at the discretion of a veterinarian. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Not for use in bobby calves. Not to be used for the treatment of infections caused by organisms that are known to be resistant to dihydrostreptomycin or streptomycin. Not recommended for use in animals with renal dysfunction or in those already being treated with aminoglycoside (-mycins) antibiotics.
