WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Withdrawal Periods and Residue Warnings
Animals intended for human consumption must not be slaughtered within 48 days of the last treatment. This drug product is not approved for use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, including dry dairy cows. Use in these cattle may cause drug residues in milk and/or in calves born to these cows. A withdrawal period has not been established for pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.
Animal Safety Warnings and Precautions The product is likely to cause tissue damage at the site of injection, including possible granulomas and necrosis. These reactions have disappeared without treatment. Local tissue reaction may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter. Observe cattle for injection site reactions. If injection site reactions are suspected, consult your veterinarian. This product is not for intravenous or intramuscular use. Protect product from light. LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) has been developed specifically for use in cattle only. This product should not be used in other animal species.
When to Treat Cattle with Grubs LONGRANGE effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season.
Environmental Hazards Not for use in cattle managed in feedlots or under intensive rotational grazing because the environmental impact has not been evaluated for these scenarios.
Other Warnings: Underdosing and/or subtherapeutic concentrations of extended-release anthelmintic products may encourage the development of parasite resistance. It is recommended that parasite resistance be monitored following the use of any anthelmintic with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test program.
TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY Clinical studies have demonstrated the wide margin of safety of LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin). Overdosing at 3 to 5 times the recommended dose resulted in a statistically significant reduction in average weight gain when compared to the group tested at label dose. Treatment-related lesions observed in most cattle administered the product included swelling, hyperemia, or necrosis in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin. The administration of LONGRANGE at 3 times the recommended therapeutic dose had no adverse reproductive effects on beef cows at all stages of breeding or pregnancy or on their calves. Not for use in bulls, as reproductive safety testing has not been conducted in males intended for breeding or actively breeding. Not for use in calves less than 3 months of age because safety testing has not been conducted in calves less than 3 months of age.
STORAGE Store at 77° F (25° C) with excursions between 59° and 86° F (15° and 30° C). Protect from light.

Meatless Monday Campaign Misses Mark
T
HE ANIMAL AGRICULTURE ALLIANCE HAS CONCLUDED THE MEATLESS MONDAY Campaign grossly misrepresents the campaign’s enrollment and prevalence among schools, restaurants, hospitals and colleges. Since
the inception of the Meatless Monday campaign, the Alliance has closely monitored the campaign’s progress and tried to correct its misinformation about the healthfulness of meat consumption and environmental impact of livestock production. In anticipation of the Meatless Monday campaign’s 10th anniversary,
the Alliance analyzed the overall effects of the campaign and gauged its effectiveness by individually surveying every participant listed on the Meatless Monday website. The Alliance found that the campaign has not been as popular as the Meatless Monday movement claimed. Most notably: • Out of the 56 kindergarten through 12-grade schools listed as par-
ticipating, more than 64.2 percent no longer or never participated in the program. • Out of the 155 colleges/universities listed as participating, more than
43.2 percent no longer or never participated in the program. • Out of the school districts listed as participating, more than 57 per-
cent no longer do. The Meatless Monday campaign also counts restaurants and food
service providers among their allies, yet more than 35 and 47 percent, respectively, no longer participate in the program. “These results are truly astounding. When we started the project, we
didn’t expect nearly as many organizations to not actually be participat- ing in the program,” said Alliance President and CEO Kay Johnson Smith. “The Meatless Monday campaign tries to promote a reduction in meat, milk and egg consumption as trendy, but clearly it hasn’t taken off as strongly as they’d hoped.” Schools, restaurants and food service providers also echoed these sen-
timents, noting that adoption of the campaign was widely unpopular, led to food waste, and elicited complaints from parents worried about proper nutrition. Many of those interviewed by the Alliance maintained that they didn’t
understand how they appeared on the Meatless Monday website in the fi rst place. Staff at Texas Health Resources commented, “We don’t under- stand why we’re on the list — we’re a corporate offi ce and have nothing to do with meal services.” To learn more about the myths and facts of the Meatless Monday move-
ment and for access to any of the Alliance’s comprehensive resources including our “Why Meat” guide, please visit the Animal Agriculture Alliance at
