Directions For Fixing Flectron Fly Tags


Flectron Fly Tags should be applied to the ear using the Allflex® tagging system.

Using the Allflex® Application Pliers, position the fixing stud between the blood vessels, in a central area of firm tissue, halfway between the head and tip of the ear. Apply as follows:
 
  1. Place the ear tag under the clip by depressing the lever.
  2. Slide the male button onto the pin until it projects through the tip.
  3. Always dip into disinfectant solution. This helps prevent spread of infection, assists application and promotes healing.
  4. Centre, then apply through the ear half way between ear tip and head, taking care to avoid confusion with other ear marks

4.8 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interactions
None known

4.9 Amounts to be administered and administration route
Flectron eartags can control flies for up to 4 months when used as directed. 
For maximum benefit they should therefore be applied at the beginning of the season before fly populations build up. For complete control the entire herd should be tagged.
One tag per animal is usually sufficient to achieve acceptable levels of fly control. 
However, where head and face fly attack is very severe, two tags may be necessary, one on each ear.

Flectron eartags should be attached to the ear as follows:
Load stud and tag into the applicator according to the manufacturer's directions. 
Restrain the animal, preferably in a crush, so that the ear can be reached easily. 
Position the point of the fixing stud between the blood vessels in an area of firm tissue halfway between the head and the tip of the ear, with the fly tag on the back of the ear. 
A position between the second and third rib of the ear is ideal.
Depress the applicator until a click is heard. 
This means the tag and the fixing are firmly secured.

If a tag is lost during the season it is usually because of poor application. 
Flectron ear tags will remain flexible and active for a season.

Flectron ear tags are not recommended for fly control on cattle kept in feed lots or in animal housing.
Tags should be removed at the end of each fly season and before cattle go for slaughter. 
The neck of the stud behind the ear can be cut with round-nosed scissors. 
The new tag can be applied through the hole left by the previous one

4.10 Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
None.

4.11 Withdrawal period(s)
Meat and offal: Zero days.
Milk:                 Zero hours.
Tags should be removed before cattle leave the farm for slaughter.

5 PHARMACOLOGICAL or IMMUNOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Pharmacotherapeutic group:

Ectoparasiticides for topical use, pyrethroids

ATCvet code: QP53AC08

5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
The formulation for Flectron is devised so that the active ingredient, cypermethrin, is slowly released onto the surface of the tag. 
As the exposed chemical is removed, more cypermethrin is released onto the surface. 
Thus the tag acts as a constant reservoir of insecticide throughout the season.
The active ingredient is lipophilic and is thus strongly bound to the sebum or natural oil present in the animal's coat and on the surface of the skin. 
Natural body movements
- grooming and rubbing against other cattle
- transfer the insecticide onto the hairs of the coat. 
This disperses the active ingredient all over the animal, effectively giving the whole body protection against flies within 24 to 48 hours. 
The binding of the cypermethrin onto the sebum ensures a high degree of rain fastness.
Cypermethrin acts principally as a contact insecticide. 
Flies therefore have to come into contact with the chemical to be killed so it is normal to see a few on a tagged animal.
Flies landing on a tagged animal will pick up the insecticide on their feet or bodies. 
They then leave quickly as the chemical acts as a repellent. 
The flies normally leave before they have had time to bite, feed or otherwise annoy the animal. 
As the chemical on the flies is absorbed they become hyperactive and die within a few minutes.
Biting flies appear to be controlled more easily than nuisance flies, possibly because biting flies burrow under the hair, and thus pick up a lethal dose of cypermethrin on their bodies as well as on their feet.

5.2 Pharmacokinetic particulars Trials have shown that continuous release of active ingredient from the tag maintains adequate protection of the animal throughout the whole of the fly season - i.e. up to four months under temperate European conditions
