Feeding Directions:
Feed this product to cattle only. When used as directed, RANCHER’S CHOICE® Altosid® 20% Hi-Mag Fly Control Tub 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 the horn fly season. Allow free choice to cattle. Cattle should consume 34 mg of (S)-Methoprene per 100 lbs of cattle body weight per month to achieve horn fly control. This is equivalent to an average of 1.143 ounces of RANCHER’S CHOICE® Altosid® 20% Hi-Mag Fly Control Tub per 100 lbs. of cattle body weight per day, which is equivalent to 1 pound per day for a 1,400 pound cow. To feed RANCHER’S CHOICE® Altosid® 20% Hi-Mag Fly Control Tub remove the plastic cover and score several times with a knife to encourage initial consumption.
Assure cattle are not starved for nutrients prior to feeding RANCHER’S CHOICE® Altosid® 20% Hi-Mag Fly Control Tub.
This product contains added copper. Do not feed to cattle in close proximity to sheep or other species that have a low tolerance to supplemental copper.
Offer cattle 1 tub for every 15 to 25 head of cattle.
Remove all other self-limiting nutritional supplements while the cattle are consuming this product.
Locate tubs where cattle congregate (watering, loafing, shade areas).
Replenish RANCHER’S CHOICE® Altosid® 20% Hi-Mag Fly Control Tub on a regular basis as needed.
If intake of RANCHER’S CHOICE® Altosid® 20% Hi-Mag Fly Control Tub is below 1.143 ounces per 100 pounds cattle body weight per day, increase the number of feeding locations and/or change location(s) to areas more frequented by cattle.
If intake of RANCHER’S CHOICE® Altosid® 20% Hi-Mag Fly Control Tub is above 1.143 ounces per 100 pounds cattle body weight per day, reduce the number of feeding locations and/or change location(s) to areas less frequented by cattle.
