Directions For Use

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Reformulation or repackaging of this product is prohibited.

Resistance-management Recommendations. For resistance management, MAX40 Insecticide Cattle Ear Tag contains a Group 1B insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to MAX40 Insecticide Cattle Ear Tag and other Group 1B insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same herds. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed. Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of survival suggests the presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control advisor.

When using this product, you must follow the measures contained in the Endangered Species Protection Bulletin for the area in which you are applying the product.

For adequate control of horn flies, attach one tag per animal. For optimum control of horn flies, control of ear ticks, and as an aid in the control of face flies, lice, stable flies and house flies, attach one tag to each ear (two per animal). Replace as necessary. MAX40 tags have been proven to be effective against pyrethroid resistant horn flies for up to five months. Apply as shown with a Y-TEX 2-piece tag applicator (i.e. UltraTagger plus). Disinfect tag applicator before use. To minimize development of insecticide resistance in horn flies, remove used tags at the end of the season and follow the recommended tag rotation program. Calves less than 3 months of age should not be tagged as ear damage may result. Remove tags before slaughter.

Apply as shown with the Y-TEX 2 piece tagging system.

Step 1

Seat male button firmly on pin, press down and give a slight twist.

Step 2

Place female tag firmly under clip. Collar on tag must be pointing away from pin.

Step 3

Position applicator over ear and squeeze the handles together.

The ideal position for male stud is between the second and third radial cartilage as shown.
