Sample Use Guides

Sheep (for the treatment of sheep lice (Bovicola ovis)): Magnesium hexafluorosilicate was applied through a shower dip (Sunbeam model SSD), which was set up according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Dipping was conducted over 2 days. Individual sheep were treated between 16 and 18 days after shearing. Each product was mixed with water according to the manufacturer’s directions for the control of lice.
