4.3 Contraindications
Do not use in cases of known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient.

4.4 Special warnings for each target species
Sheep should never be dipped on a full stomach, when the wool is wet or when they are heated, tired, thirsty or suffering from wounds or open sores.
Choose a cool dry day and dip early in the morning.
Rest sheep 2 or 3 hours before dipping.
Rams and fat sheep should be assisted through the baths and lambs dipped separately from the ewes.
Care should be taken to ensure that the sheep do not swallow or inhale any wash.
To avoid Post Dipping Lameness Post dipping lameness may occur when the sheep are dipped in dirty wash, or wash which has been allowed to stand in the bath overnight or longer.
It is important that the dip bath should be emptied and thoroughly cleaned at the end of each day’s dipping or earlier if it becomes very dirty during the day’s dipping.

4.5 Special precautions for use Special precaution(s) for use in animals
After dipping, sheep should be allowed to stand in a bare open space under shade if possible but never in an enclosed building.
For best results sheep should not be dipped soon after shearing but should have at least 3 weeks growth of wool. Animals should not be dipped when they are heated, tired or thirsty.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals Minimise operator contamination by good dipping facility design, e.g. fit splash boards where operators stand. Ensure that those using dips are competent to do so.
1. When handling concentrate including dip replenishment: Do not use in an enclosed area and avoid inhaling vapour. Wear non-lined, synthetic rubber gloves (heavy-duty gauntlet style nitrile at least 300mm in length and 0.5mm thick), wellington boots, waterproof (made of nitrile of PVC) trousers or leggings and coat or bib apron and a face shield when handling the concentrate. Wash splashes of the dip concentrate from skin and eyes and from protective clothing and equipment immediately. Remove heavily contaminated clothing immediately and wash or destroy.

2. When working with diluted dips and freshly dipped sheep:
Dipping should only be carried out in a well ventilated area, preferably outdoors.
Wear non-lined, synthetic rubber gloves (heavy-duty gauntlet style nitrile at least 300mm in length and 0.5mm thick), wellington boots, waterproof (made of nitrile of PVC) trousers or leggings and coat or bib apron.
Accidental splashes on exposed skin should be washed off immediately.
Wash hands, face and exposed skin immediately after leaving the work area, removing protective clothing and washing hands, face and exposed skin.
Do not smoke, drink or eat during dipping without first withdrawing from the work area, removing protective clothing and washing hands, face and exposed skin.
Remove heavily contaminated clothing immediately and wash or destroy.
Check and replace any worn or damaged items of protective clothing.
Wash measuring and dipping equipment after use.
Protective clothing should be washed each day after dipping operations to prevent build up of chemicals in the materials.

3. Handling sheep in the weeks following dipping:
Handle sheep as little as possible after dipping as dip residues remain on the sheep for some weeks following dipping.
If you need to handle sheep, wear coveralls and wellington boots.
If the sheep are wet, wear waterproof trousers and coat or bib-apron and wellington boots.
Always wash hands and exposed skin with soap and water after handling sheep or fleece and before eating, drinking and smoking.

Please note that Cyperguard is a non-organophosphorus sheep dip.
This product contains cypermethrin which is a synthetic pyrethroid.

Wash all accidental spillages of the concentrate and diluted dip off the skin immediately.
If you feel unwell after working with this product consult your doctor and show this label.
Doctors can obtain advice on clinical management from the Poisons Information Centre.

A single treatment will provide up to 9 weeks control of Blowfly Strike.
Occasionally retreatment may be necessary after 4-9 weeks depending on the level of challenge, weather conditions and the timing of the first dipping.
Do not dilute the product until it is actually required.
To prepare the bath:
Baths should be accurately calibrated.
Fill the bath with the required quantity of clean water.
Pour the required measured volume of dip directly into the bath to give the required strength.
Stir the bath thoroughly from end to end to ensure complete mixing.
Replenishment: replenish after every 50 sheep dipped.
The bath should be topped up to its original volume with water.
Then add 20 ml of dip concentrate for each 10 litres of water added.

Dipping:

Blowfly, Keds, Lice and Ticks:
Immerse the sheep in the bath until the fleece is completely saturated with dip wash.
All parts of the sheep except the head and ears must remain immersed for not less than thirty seconds.
Plunge the head under at least twice, allowing time to breathe between plunges.

To reduce the risk of Blowfly strike, control worms and treat all wounds.
Skim off at regular intervals any scum which may form on the surface of the dipping bath.

Sheep Scab: Cure and Prevention:
For the purposes of dipping against sheep scab, sheep must be totally immersed in a sheep bath of an approved sheep dip, and all parts of the sheep except the head and ears must remain immersed in the bath for a period which shall in no case be less than one minute.
Plunge the head under at least once.
To prevent fouling of the bath:
It is important that the dip bath is emptied and thoroughly cleaned at the end of each day’s dipping or earlier if it becomes very dirty during the days dipping.
Dip no more that one sheep for every 2 litres of the initial bath volume before the bath is completely emptied.

Flies start breeding from the end of March.
Total fly eradication is unfeasible, but can be adequately controlled if the right actions are taken before flies have had a chance to establish.

Dipping
For plunge dipping, it is essential to know the capacity of the bath.
Use only the two closed systems to charge the bath and to top up.
Always top up as per instructions; if not, the dip wash will strip out and later sheep will not carry enough ectoparasiticide for it to be effective.
Sheep should never be dipped on a full stomach, when the wool is wet, or when they are heated, tired, thirsty, or suffering from wounds or open sores.
Choose a cool dry day and dip early in the morning.
Rams and fat sheep should be assisted through the bath and lambs dipped separately from the ewes.
It is important to ensure that sheep do not swallow or inhale any wash.
As this is an organophosphorus sheep dip, an interval of at least 14 days should be observed between dipping and dosing with any drench etc., containing levamisole or an organophosphorus mixture. 
Allow dipped sheep to drain in designated draining pens and do not return to pasture until excess dip has been shed.

When dipping, use protective clothing, handle equipment carefully and stick to the manufacturer’s instructions.
