This may happen very shortly after being administered if they have not been completely swallowed. The bullet may more readily reach the reticulum or base of the rumen if it is not given immediately after hay of silage has been given. Animals should be observed carefully for a few minutes after administration. Towards the end of their useful life (when the bullets become shorter and of considerably reduced diameter) there is a small chance that regurgitation may occur. If it is noticed that an individual animal has regurgitated a bullet, treatment should be repeated. 4.5 Special precautions for use, i.

Dosage Amounts to be administered and administration route Sheep One Rumbul Sheep Bullet should be given to each sheep 2 days before the expected period of risk, e.g. after lambing or transfer to new grazing. If necessary dosing should be repeated after 3 weeks. Calves Two Rumbul sheep bullets should be given to each animal. One treatment should prevent a serious reduction in blood magnesium concentration for at least 3 weeks, thereafter a repeat dose should be given if the calf is still receiving a predominantly milk diet. Administration orally by using the specially designed bulleting gun.Revised: October 2011 AN: 01098/2011 Page 3 of 5 Load the gun by inserting the bullet into the open end, ensuring that the bullet is pressed into the metal cup and held firmly by the rubber head. The gun should then be passed carefully and gently into the animal’s mouth until the rubber head is in the region of the back of the tongue. Severe pressure on the tongue should be avoided. Depression of the plunger will effect delivery of the bullet onto the rear part of the tongue thereby initiating a swallowing action. The gun should then be carefully withdrawn, taking care during removal to maintain its central position in the mouth. For calves only: A second bullet should then be administered following the same procedure. Observe each animal for a short time after dosing to ensure both bullets have been swallowed. And not regurgitated. Note 1. It is desirable when administering the bullet that the head and neck are extended in a straight line in front of the animal. Once the bullet has been introduced on to the back of the tongue by means of the gun, its further progress will depend upon the reflex swallowing action of the animal. Any restraint, which interferes with this action is likely to reduce the chances of effecting a proper administration. Note 2. The curvature of the gun is designed to facilitate the placing of the bullet on the back of the tongue. It is essential that the gun is maintained in an upright plane in the mid line of the mouth throughout the operation. Further Information In areas where there is no known copper deficiency, no additional supplement of copper should be given to sheep, which have been administered Rumbul Bullets, for the active life of the bullets (3 weeks). 4.10 Overdose (Symptons, emergency procedures, antidotes) if necessary In the unlikely event of an accidental overdose, no special treatment is required
