Precautions

Exercise care in handling weak, pregnant and young animals to avoid unnecessary stress.

Avoid yarding animals off-feed overnight, and ensure animals have access to water when yarded prior to drenching.

Friskiness, of short duration, minutes after treatment, maybe be seen in some animals.

Recommended dose should not be exceeded except under veterinary supervision.

Can I use this product on horses or dogs?
No. Vetsense Kilverm Sheep & Cattle Oral Drench is strictly contraindicated for use in dogs or horses.
Does Kilverm handle resistant worms?
In sheep, Kilverm is effective against benzimidazole (white drench) resistant strains of Barber's pole worm and Black scour worm, provided they remain fully sensitive to levamisole.
Can I use this specific bottle for my backyard poultry?
No. While levamisole is used for poultry, this 1L formulation is concentrated specifically for livestock drenching. For chickens and birds, utilize Vetsense Kilverm Poultry Wormer 125ml, which features a lower concentration safe for avian dosing.
