Altosid® - Prevents Adult Horn Fly Emergence from Manure of Treated Cattle
Feeding Directions
When used as directed, this product will provide sufficient S-Methoprene insect growth regulator to prevent the emergence of adult horn flies from manure of treated cattle. Existing adult horn flies will not be affected. Start feeding before horn flies appear and continue use until cold weather marks the end of horn fly season. Allow free choice to cattle. Cattle should consume an average of 0.286 ounces of this product per 100 lb. of cattle body weight per day, which is equivalent to 4 ounces for a 1,400 lb. cow. Altosid° IGR will only be effective on eggs laid in manure where it interrupts the fly life cycle to prevent development of mature, adult flies.
