About Poron Pour-On
Ticks suck blood, lower milk yield and weight gain, and spread serious diseases such as babesiosis, theileriosis and anaplasmosis in cattle and buffalo.
Poron is a ready-to-use pour-on from Alembic that contains flumethrin 1% w/v. You pour it along the animal's back, and it spreads over the skin to kill ticks.
It is used for tick control in cattle and buffalo. Ask your vet whether it suits your animal, especially if your animal has a health condition or takes other medicines.
Flumethrin is a pyrethroid that acts on the nerves of ticks. The maker says Poron also works on ticks that resist several other insecticide groups.
Because it is a pour-on, there is no dipping or spraying. That makes it quicker and safer for the handler and the animal.
Ticks are most active in warm, humid months, so many farms treat before and during the monsoon. Your vet can help plan a tick control schedule for your area.
Key Ingredients
Active ingredients listed for this product.
| Ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|
| Flumethrin 1% w/v, 1% w/v (10mg per ml) | Kills ticks and other external parasites on cattle and buffalo. |
Features and Benefits
- Pour-on. Poured along the back, with no dipping, spraying or mixing.
How It Works
- Flumethrin 1% w/v. It spreads over the skin from the backline and acts on the nerves of ticks, so they die.
How to Use
- Dose. The dose is 1ml per 10kg body weight. For example, a 200kg animal needs 20ml, a 300kg animal 30ml and a 500kg animal 50ml.
- Applying. Shake well, then pour evenly along the middle of the back as the pack directs. Wear gloves.
- Where to pour. Pour along the middle of the back, from the base of the tail to the front of the shoulders.
- Weigh first. Estimate weight carefully, as under-dosing lets ticks survive and builds resistance.
- Treat the herd. Treat all cattle and buffalo in the shed at the same time, so ticks do not move from untreated animals.
- Clean the shed. Ticks lay eggs in cracks in walls and floors. Clean and treat the shed as your vet advises.
- Repeat. Repeat treatment at the interval on the pack or as your vet advises, based on the tick load.
- Storage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, unless the pack gives other storage directions. Keep out of reach of children.
Safety and Precautions
- Wear gloves while applying and wash your hands afterwards.
- Do not use it on dogs, cats or other animals unless your vet says so.
- Keep it away from ponds and water sources, as it is toxic to fish.
- Follow the milk and meat withdrawal period printed on the pack before milk or meat from treated animals is used for food.
- Do not apply on broken skin or when the coat is wet with rain.
- For external use only. Keep it away from the eyes and mouth unless your vet says otherwise.
