Ectoline Pour-On

• ECTOLINE® POUR-ON is an insecticide and acaricide product developed by Merial whose active ingredient is fipronil, a phenylpyrazole derivative.

• ECTOLINE® POUR-ON , being a new compound unrelated to existing ones, controls external parasites resistant to other molecules such as pyrethroids, organophosphates and amidines.

• ECTOLINE® POUR-ON, due to its formulation, when applied to the back of animals, is perfectly distributed throughout the skin and hair because it has an affinity for the sebaceous glands and their secretions, and identifies the treated animals by coloring the coat red for 3 to 5 days.

• ECTOLINE® POUR-ON is indicated for the treatment and control of the following external parasites of cattle:

• Ticks (Riphicephalus [Boophilus] microplus)
• Horn Fly (Haematobia irritans)
• Chewing Lice (Damalinia bovis)
• Sucking Lice (Linognatus vituli)
• Nodular myiasis (Dermatobia hominis)

Formula: Each 1 mL contains:
Fipronil 10 mg
Excipient, q.s. 1 mL

Characteristics:
• Prolonged mosquito-killing action for up to 35 days after treatment.
• Longer interval between applications.
• Broad spectrum and control of parasitic population due to its larvicidal and adulticidal effect.
• Rain-resistant product (not water-soluble).
• Active ingredient (fipronil) with control of strains resistant to other products.

Benefits:
• Economy of handling and labor.
• Less stress and greater daily weight gain for treated animals.
• Better cost-benefit ratio.
• Meadow cleaning.
• It interrupts the parasite's life cycle at any stage.
• Definitive solution to problems caused by ectoparasites in areas where other products have failed.

Dosage and Administration:

• The recommended dose is 1 mL per 10 kg of live weight, corresponding to 1 mg of fipronil per kg.

• Apply ECTOLINE® POUR-ON topically along the back on the line from the withers to the base of the tail.

• For optimal results , ECTOLINE® POUR-ON should be applied to all animals in the herd within a planned external parasite control program.

• The treatment interval can be at least 2 months but will depend on the severity of the infestation, environmental conditions and ranch conditions.

• Consult your local veterinarian or entomologist to determine the most appropriate time for treatment.
