Timeframe
Withholding period

Meat withholding
Animals producing meat or offal for human consumption must not be sold for slaughter either during treatment or within 14 days of cessation of the last treatment.

Milk withholding
Milk intended for sale for human consumption must be discarded during treatment and for not less than 35 days following the last treatment.

Barriers to effectiveness
​Resistance can develop to any anthelmintic and there are some reported cases of resistance to double combinations in sheep parasites in NZ. Check the effectiveness of anthelmintics at least annually (but preferably 3-4 times/year) by faecal egg counting 10 days after drenching, and preferably immediately pre-drenching as well. Follow current recommended parasite management practices to reduce the potential for resistance to develop. It is advisable that a drench resistance test be conducted before any parasite treatment is used.

Application rates and usage

Trio Sheep label
Animal Health - NZ

​Application

Administer orally at 1mL per 5kg live-weight

Capability and precautions

Do not exceed the stated dose

Doses of 3 or more times those recommended can cause symptoms of levamisole toxicity, so estimate liveweights carefully

Dehydrated animals may be more susceptible to toxicity

Fatal interactions may occur between levamisole and organophosphate dips

Do not use at the same time as any other selenised animal health product without consulting a veterinarian or animal health adviser

In sheep, liver levels of copper may be quite variable. Consequently, there is always a risk of copper poisoning (deaths) occurring following copper supplementation in this species

Storage and handling

Store below 25oC (room temperature) in the original container, tightly closed and locked up in a safe place away from direct sunlight.  Do not freeze.

Shelf life

12 months from date of manufacture.
