Farnam Bronco Equine Pesticide Spray 600ML is a spray specifically designed to provide effective and prolonged protection to horses against various types of external parasites, including flies, horseflies, mosquitoes, ticks and fleas. Thanks to its ready-to-use formulation, the product can be used daily and helps ensure the horse's comfort and well-being throughout the warm season and during outdoor activities. The application of the spray is simple and quick, and the delicate fragrance is designed to be pleasant for both the animal and those who handle it. Suitable for both working and companion horses, Farnam Bronco Spray also helps keep the coat shiny and in good condition, protecting against bites that can cause itching, dermatitis or secondary infections.
The 600ML format guarantees numerous applications even on multiple specimens and is particularly suitable during periods of greater presence of insects, such as spring and summer. The spray has been designed with optimal delivery to cover large surfaces of the horse's body, including particularly sensitive points such as the girth, legs and area behind the ears. Constant use reduces the need for veterinary interventions for secondary problems related to parasites and improves the quality of life of the animals in the stable. Ideal for horses that participate in sporting events, walks and daily activities in paddocks or outdoors.
Therapeutic Indications
Farnam Bronco Equine Antiparasitic Spray 600ML is indicated as an effective treatment for the protection of horses against ectoparasite infestations, including horse flies, horseflies, ticks, fleas and mosquitoes. The developed formula allows for both the prevention and control of infestations, ensuring a long-term protective barrier. The product can be used both as a preventive treatment during periods of increased presence of insects, and as a support in the presence of attacks already underway.
The effectiveness of the product also extends to reducing the risk of transmission of pathologies carried by insect bites, such as summer dermatitis or other diseases transmitted by arthropods. It promotes continuous protection, minimizing the discomfort caused by insects that can disturb the horse during grazing, work or rest. Particularly suitable in the months in which the density of parasites is higher, Farnam Bronco Spray can be associated with other hygiene and cleaning practices to further increase safety within the stables and paddocks.
Regular use also reduces the risk of self-harm by the horse, which often scratches or bites itself to seek relief from stings, with possible consequences on the skin and fur, such as abrasions or infections. It can be used safely on adults and young people, following the specific indications for the application.
Composition
The formulation of Farnam Bronco Equine Antiparasitic Spray 600ML combines active substances with recognized effectiveness in the fight against ectoparasites, such as natural pyrethrins, permethrin and other adjuvants that ensure uniform distribution and adhesion to the coat. Pyrethrins are plant derivatives, known for their broad spectrum of action against flying and crawling insects, acting on their nervous system, offering immediate protection.
Permethrin is a latest generation synthetic active ingredient, included in the composition to strengthen effectiveness and ensure a prolonged duration of protection. The excipients introduced into the formula have been chosen to guarantee maximum skin tolerability and minimize the risk of irritation or allergic reactions in the most sensitive horses. It also includes conditioning agents capable of enhancing the characteristics of the coat, preserving its shine, softness and natural hydration.
The composition is completed by deionized water, specific solvents and absorption activators which allow the product to penetrate even the most difficult areas. The selected perfume does not interfere with the animal's sense of smell and helps to limit the attraction of insects to the horse's skin surface.
Contraindications
Do not use Farnam Bronco Equine Antiparasitic Spray 600ML on animals with known or suspected hypersensitivity to one or more of the components of the formulation, such as pyrethrins, permethrin or specific excipients contained in the spray. Do not apply to open wounds, lesions or severely irritated areas of the skin, as the presence of abrasions could favor systemic absorption and generate unwanted local or general reactions.
Avoid its use on foals under three months of age, unless otherwise indicated by a veterinary surgeon. Do not use the product at the same time as other topical pesticides that may contain the same active ingredients, to reduce the risk of toxic accumulation phenomena. During administration, avoid contact with the eyes, mouth and mucous membranes of both the animal and the operator.
In case of adverse skin reactions such as redness, itching or rashes, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian. Its use on animal species other than horses, in particular on cats, is strongly discouraged, given the particular sensitivity of the latter to pyrethrins.
Safety of the drug for the species
Farnam Bronco Spray is formulated to be highly safe for the equine species, both on adults and young subjects, when used in accordance with the instructions and recommended doses. Safety is guaranteed by the use of active ingredients and balanced adjuvants, designed to be absorbed only superficially without passing into the animal's systemic circulation. The ingredients are selected to ensure rapid action without prolonged residual effects beyond the expected duration.
The risk of local adverse effects is minimal if the product is applied to intact skin and in the absence of acute dermatological pathologies. In particularly sensitive horses, mild transient reactions may appear, such as redness or itching, which normally resolve spontaneously. The product does not leave toxic residues on hair, skin or riding equipment, and can also be used close to competitions, as long as a suitable interval between application is respected.
The safety of Farnam Bronco Spray is such that it allows the normal carrying out of daily practices such as brushing, saddling and washing without interference, and does not present risks for operators with normal precautions for use. Avoid use on sick or debilitated animals or with a clinical history of allergies to insecticides. Even for young foals, use is safe if carried out in accordance with the recommendations on the information leaflet.
Precautions
When using Farnam Bronco Equine Antiparasitic Spray 600ML, it is important to take some precautions to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and the safety of the horse and operator. Apply the spray in a well-ventilated area or outdoors, avoiding closed spaces where vapors can accumulate. During application, protect the eyes, nose and mouth of the animal and the operator, possibly using a mask and protective glasses. Do not spray the product directly on open wounds, mucous membranes or parts of the paws subject to recent injuries.
After application, wash your hands thoroughly and keep the product away from children or other pets who may accidentally ingest it or come into contact with freshly treated areas. Avoid contact with food and fodder. In case of accidental ingestion, consult your veterinarian immediately and, if necessary, show the product label to facilitate treatment. It is recommended to gradually try the product on subjects with a history of allergic reactions, starting from a small area, and observe any local or systemic reactions before proceeding with application on the whole body.
Store the spray in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources, open flames or direct light. Do not reuse empty containers and dispose of them according to current regulations, avoiding dispersing the product into the environment.
Method of administration
For best results, shake the bottle of Farnam Bronco Equine Pesticide Spray 600ML well before use. Spray the product directly on the animal's coat, maintaining a distance of approximately 20-30 cm, evenly covering all the skin surfaces most exposed to insects such as the neck, chest, back, rump, limbs and ventral areas. For the areas near the eyes, nostrils and inside the ears, apply the product by first spraying it onto a soft cloth and then delicately rub it into the fur, so as to avoid direct contact with the more sensitive mucous membranes.
Carry out the application regularly throughout the season at risk of infestation, favoring the less hot hours of the day. In case of heavy sweating, heavy rain or swimming, repeat the treatment to maintain the effectiveness of the protective barrier. Do not wet the animal excessively: a light mist is sufficient to ensure optimal diffusion without the risk of irritation or weighing down the coat.
It is recommended to brush the horse before application to remove dust and debris, thus increasing the penetration and absorption of the solution. The protective effect is immediate, but for massive insect attacks, a second application after 24-48 hours may be appropriate, followed by regular weekly maintenance or as needed based on the animal's exposure.
Treatment program
The regular use of Farnam Bronco Equine Pesticide Spray 600ML represents an effective prophylactic strategy during the entire period of activity of parasitic insects, typically from spring to late autumn. The treatment can be programmed based on the degree of exposure of the animals: in the months with higher insect density it is recommended to apply the product at least twice a week or after every bath, heavy sweating or exposure to pouring rain. For horses that spend a lot of time outdoors or in wooded areas or areas subject to water stagnation, applications can be intensified.
In the case of infestations already underway, a first abundant application is indicated, followed by lighter and closer treatments until the visible parasites are completely eliminated and the associated clinical signs (such as itching or scratching lesions) are reduced. In particularly predisposed subjects, regular use ensures the maintenance of effectiveness and prevents new infestations, effectively preventing the appearance of secondary pathologies or stress in the animal.
To ensure maximum effectiveness, it is advisable to integrate the use of the spray with environmental hygiene practices, such as constant cleaning of boxes and shelters, frequent replacement of litter and management of organic materials that may represent a source of attraction or proliferation for flies and other insects. The use of Farnam Bronco Spray is thus part of an integrated defense program, fundamental for the health and well-being of horses in all phases of their sporting and recreational life.
Target species
Farnam Bronco Equine Antiparasitic Spray 600ML is indicated exclusively for use on horses, both adults and foals, with specific precautions for younger subjects (over three months of age). It can be used successfully on all breeds and for every type of activity - from work to leisure, from sport to simple stables. Do not use on different animal species, in particular on pets such as cats and dogs, which may have specific sensitivities to the ingredients of the formula. Designed for the complete protection of horses, it improves the quality of life of the animals during the months of insect activity and contributes to maintaining optimal hygienic conditions in the environments in which they live.
