Fera Diagnostics FerAppease [300 mL]

FerAppease Bovine is a synthetic analogue of the Maternal Bovine Appeasing Substance (mBAS). mBAS is a naturally occurring pheromone that helps reduce stress in cattle. FerAppease can and should be used every time animals are exposed to management and physiological stressors, where suppression of threat perception is desirable (i.e. castration, dehorning, weaning, vaccination, parturition, breeding, etc.).

Directions: Use on healthy cattle by topical administration to nuchal skin and the skin above the muzzle. Best to apply about 24 hours prior to upcoming stressor. Takes effect about 5 minutes after application (visibly calmer, less vocal and less aggressive behavior) with a full effect lasting 3 days or more.

For all cattle, apply a total dose of 10mL. Apply 5mL of FerAppease to the nuchal skin and a second 5ml application to the skin above the muzzle.
For younstock under 200 lbs: Apply 5ml of FerAppease to the nuchal skin and a second 5 ml application to the skin above the muzzle.
