KattleGuard Insecticide
Active ingredients: 1% Permethrin; 1% Piperonylbutoxide (PBO)
Inert Ingredients: 98% heavy viscosity mineral oil.
Viscosity: 350 S.U.S @ 100 degrees f.
Notes and Warning: Use of viscosities of less than 350 S.U.S. will result in excess usage through machine and significantly increase costs of operation. Additionally, use of lighter viscosity insecticides may easily result in over dosing cows beyond EPA established limits. Genuine KattleGuard Insecticide when applied through KattleGuard Equipment is applied to, and resides upon, the outer coat of the animal. Lighter viscosities of insecticide penetrate to the dermal (skin) layer of the cow and, besides being out of reach of flies, increase the risk of transdermal absorption. Unlike KattleGuard Insecticide, insectides with lighter viscosities often carry high levels of solvent content which will damage seals in system and void system warranties. Viscosities of less than 350 S.U.S. have been shown to evaporate relatively quickly, and as they evaporate they take active ingredients with them.
