closamectin 4 in 1 injection- fancy packaging

Bodacious

Anyone used the Closamectin injection for Fluke,Worms and external parasites .... same active ingredients as the pour on only alot cheaper but you have to give 4ml per 100kg under the skin either side of the neck and no more than 10ml per injection site

Trick is though it has to be injected at animal body temperature so 500ml comes with an instant heat pack built into the packaging, click the switch 15 mins before use.. like a little science lesson watching it heat up.. i was impressed anyway

That's the thing, I've used the heat pack now so it'll be warm water now the next batch. How did you get the heat pack out of the plastic container did you pour in warm water around it to make it more soft/flexible or did you cut the container ?

Much cheaper though if it's as good as they say?!

hmm its been a while now I dont rightly remember except that i thought it was a pain, probably hot water. Im a bit dubious about the stuff to be honest, well more the pouron to be honest, I just used that levalas diamond this year

pour on is handy but I couldn't justify the closamectin pour on costwise so tried the injection instead for this turn, I always vary it anyway between oral drench, injection etc

I think lads are using the closamectin sparingly( below recommended 60ml per 600kg cow) too as it's so expensive which is dangerous territory to be getting into

The trick is to take the heat pack out while still warm.
Then, according to the rep, putting the heat pack in hot water should reactivate it. You can then put the heat pack and bottle back in the red plastic and click the metal to reheat.

I have only managed the first bit-separating the heat pack.

Very handy with the automatic syringe but will work cold with a normal syringe and needle.

Very cost effective if bait of a pain!
