Feeding instructions*
Feed this product to cattle only. When used as directed, Blueprint Fly Control Mineral will provide enough Altosid S-Methoprene insect growth regulator to prevent the emergence of adult horn flies from the manure of treated cattle. Existing adult horn flies will not be affected.
Start feeding before horn flies appear and continue use until cold weather marks the end of the horn fly season. Offer free-choice to cattle. Cattle should consume an average of 0.286 ounces of this product per 100 pounds of cattle body weight per day, equivalent to 4 ounces per day for a 1,400-pound cow.
