DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Restraints
DO NOT USE on dairy cows except replacement heifers.
DO NOT USE on dairy replacement heifers within 70 days (10 weeks) of calving.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
COOPERS SOVEREIGN is contraindicated for oral or parenteral use.
COOPERS SOVEREIGN is formulated only for external application to cattle. Do not use in other species.

PRECAUTIONS: Use only in well-ventilated areas or outdoors. The antiparasitic activity of ivermectin and triclabendazole may be impaired if the product is applied to areas of skin with mange scabs or lesions, or with dermatoses or adherent materials, eg. caked mud or manure. COOPERS SOVEREIGN is intended for use on all classes of beef cattle of any age; and for dairy cattle, only on replacement heifers up until 70 days (10 weeks) prior to their first calving.

DOSAGE:
The dose is 1mL for each 10 kg of liveweight. COOPERS SOVEREIGN should be applied along the topline in a band extending from the middle of the back to the tailhead. Product should be applied using a recommended applicator fitted with a fan-spray nozzle. Prior to and during use check the accuracy of applicators. Dose the mob according to the heaviest animal by liveweight in each group (cows, bulls, calves, heifers etc.). Where there is a large variation in size within a group, draft into two or more lines based on bodyweight, to avoid overdosing. Do not underdose. Cattle should be weighed with either scales or with a weighband.

Heavier animals (for example, mature bulls) should receive an additional 5mL for each 50 kg over 650 kg.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE OR IN ANY MANNER CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS:

• MEAT: DO NOT USE less than 28 days before slaughter for human consumption.
• MILK: DO NOT USE on dairy cows except replacement heifers. DO NOT USE on dairy replacement heifers within 70 days (10 weeks) of calving. Where COOPERS SOVEREIGN is accidentally given within this period or should any cows calve earlier than 70 days after treatment, milk may contain residues. This milk must not be used for human consumption, or supplied for processing for at least 70 days following treatment. Calves fed this milk should not be slaughtered for human consumption within 28 days.

EXPORT SLAUGHTER INTERVAL

• MEAT: DO NOT SLAUGHTER cattle for export within 70 days of treatment.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Efficacy of COOPERS SOVEREIGN is not adversely affected if applied when the hide is wet or if rainfall occurs shortly after treatment. However, it is not considered good agricultural practice to treat animals if they are wet or if rain is imminent. To avoid operator contact with COOPERS SOVEREIGN when concurrent treatments are carried out, COOPERS SOVEREIGN should be applied last. Close container when not in use.

SAFETY TO CATTLE:
Field studies have demonstrated a wide safety margin. The topically applied formulation is expected to be well tolerated by breeding animals. For further information contact COOPERS Customer Service on 1 800 226 511.
