Note: Ivotan has a persistent ivermectin level sufficient to control mite infestations throughout the duration of the life cycle. However, since the effect is not immediate, care must be taken to prevent re-infestation from exposure to untreated animals or contaminated facilities. Generally, pigs should not be moved to clean quarters or exposed to uninfested pigs for approximately one week after treatment. Sows should be treated at least one week before farrowing to minimise transfer of mites to newborn baby pigs.
