Mixing Instructions
Ensure equipment is thoroughly cleaned prior to use. Akula should be mixed with water in a container of known volume. Testing has confirmed that Akula mixes with water of various hardness. Use either a jetting handpiece with multiple nozzles that can be combed through the fleece or a (Dutjet) jetting wand. The jetting handpiece should deliver a penetrating jet of fluid without producing a spray or mist. A modified Harrington jetting race can also be used. It should be noted the effectiveness of various races differ and testing has not been performed on all types of races available.

Critical Comments |
|
Sheep/Blowflies (Lucilia cuprina, L. sericata, Chrysomyarufifacies and Calliphora nociva) |
Jetting: Prevention of blowfly strike |
200mL/100L Dilute 200mL of concentrate in 100L of water. |
Use at least 2.5L diluted jetting fluid per head. Jet immediately prior to expected blowfly waves. Wool must be thoroughly saturated to skin level along the backline and breech. The pizzle area of wethers and the poll, (particularly in horned sheep) must also be treated. |
|
Jetting: Treating existing flystrike |
Use at least 2.5L diluted jetting fluid per head. Akula Fly and Lice will control maggots in existing strikes in treated areas. |
||
| Hand Dressing: Treating existing strikes | Saturate struck area thoroughly. Wool must be saturated to skin level. | ||
|
Sheep/Lice (Bovicola ovis) |
Hand jetting: Treatment of lice in long wool. |
200mL/100L Dilute 200mL of concentrate in 100L of water. |
Use 0.5L of diluted jetting fluid per month of wool growth. To control biting lice in long woolled sheep, the fleece and skin must be thoroughly wet to skin level from poll to tail in a backband about 25cm wide. Wool and skin on the sides of the neck in front of the shoulders should also be wet to skin level. Reduced effectiveness is likely if used on sheep with lumpy wool. Jetting races are not suitable for the treatment of lice infestations. |
