Special precautions for use in animals Crovect minimises mothering-up problems after treatment. However, care must be taken not to apply the product right to the lamb’s tail, as a ewe recognises a young lamb partly by the smell of the tail area. Blowflies are attracted by dirty, damp wool or open wounds. The most common site for fly strike is the rump due to soiling caused by diarrhoea and urine staining. The efficacy of Crovect is reduced in the presence of soiled or dirty wool. Therefore, sheep must be crutched (dagged) regularly and appropriate worm control measures employed. Take care not to apply product in the sheep’s eyes. This precaution should be observed particularly when treating breeds with little wool on their heads.
