Checked against APVMA label 59680/130978 on 20 September 2026.

Where the label sets a different period for each kind of animal, the figures above are the longest. The label rules below give each one.

What else the label says

  • MILK (sheep): DO NOT USE in ewes where milk may be used or processed for human consumption. Cattle milk is zero days.
  • Inject subcutaneously high on the neck behind the ear only — incorrect placement risks injection-site residues that x-ray screening in some export markets will detect.
  • Check selenium status before re-treating. Blood selenium stays elevated up to 12 months in cattle, 18 months in sheep.

To read the label yourself, search the APVMA's PubCRIS register for product number 59680.

Labels get updated, so the pack in your shed may say something different. Always read the label on the product you're using, and ask your vet before using it in a way the label doesn't cover. MusterMate isn't connected with the makers of these products.
