Feeding Instructions:
Feed this product to cattle only. When used as directed, RANCHER’S CHOICE® Altosid® Fly Control Mineral 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 0.571 ounces of RANCHER’S CHOICE® Altosid® Fly Control Mineral Tub per 100 lbs. of cattle body weight per day, which is equivalent to 8 ounces per day for a 1,400-pound cow. To feed RANCHER’S CHOICE® Altosid® Fly Control Mineral 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® Fly Control Mineral 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® Fly Control Mineral Tub on a regular basis as needed.
If intake of RANCHER’S CHOICE® Altosid® Fly Control Mineral Tub is below 0.571 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® Fly Control Mineral Tub is above 0.571 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.
The introduction of this product after adult horn fly infestation is established will require treatment of cattle with adulticides if elimination of the adult horn fly population is desired.
