Zapp Pour-on
The Woolgrowers' Choice
Recommended Uses
For the control of IGR susceptible body lice (Bovicola ovis) on shorn sheep up to 7 days off-shears and unshorn lambs up to 3 months of age. Zapp also protects against the establishment of lice populations if treated sheep are exposed to re-infestation within 12 weeks of treatment.
Zapp Pour-on is an insect growth regulator (IGR) pour-on lousicide for the control of sheep body lice. It prevents the development of IGR susceptible immature lice present in the fleece at the time of application and those that hatch from eggs in the following 20 weeks. Zapp produces a rapid decline in lice numbers with adult lice dying by 14 weeks after treatment. Zapp controls the lice population by affecting the moulting process of juvenile lice, and the viability of eggs laid by adult female lice. Juvenile lice die from exposure over several weeks, and adult lice die of old age.
