FEEDING AND MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

Feed this product to cattle only. When used as directed, BOVALYX 25-12 with Altosid IGR will provide sufficient (S)-methoprene insect growth regulator to prevent the emergence of adult horn flies from manure of treated cattle. Existing adult horn flies will not be affected. Start feeding before horn flies appear and continue use until cold weather marks the end of the horn fly season. Allow free choice to cattle. Cattle should consume an average of 0.8 ounce of BOVALYX 25-12 with Altosid IGR per 100 lbs. of cattle body weight per day, which is equivalent to 8 ounces per day for a 1,000-pound cow.
