DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Recommended dose rates should be followed. For best protection, introduce gradually building to recommended rates at least two weeks before the facial eczema condition normally occurs. Continue until cooler winter conditions. Where spore counts are already high, drenching with zinc at crisis dose rates is recommended. Please consult your local veterinary practitioner or animal health advisor for further advice. In high risk situations delivering zinc via multiple routes may be beneficial.
