Brochure: Introducing the SLICE® Sustainability Project

The SLICE® Sustainability Project is a global initiative by the Aquatic Animal Health business of Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health, the world’s leading animal health company for aquaculture.

It is based on four core actions — Protect, Conserve, Renew and Succeed — that are essential for developing sustainable sea lice control programs for the world’s salmon industry.

The SLICE Sustainability Project is backed by Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health and its network of global technical service specialists — consultants who are ready to take an active role in training farm personnel and developing science-driven programs aimed at optimizing product efficacy and longevity.

The program also involves a global network of analytical laboratories, which have been identified by Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health for conducting bioassays, feed and tissue analyses, and other tests needed to implement the program effectively.

• SLICE® Bioassay Protocol (100kb)
  

  Bioassay protocol for in vitro determination of sea lice sensitivity to emamectin benzoate

  Bioassays are an important tool for determining the sensitivity of sea lice to treatments. They can be used routinely throughout the growing cycle to help predict the sensitivity of sea lice to available treatments or to detect changes in sensitivity within a population of sea lice...

• SLICE® Guidelines (118kb)
  

  Guidelines for sampling of feed medicated with SLICE® (emamectin benzoate)

  Proper manufacture of medicated feeds and administration of the correct dosage are essential to help ensure successful treatment of fish, prevent sub-optimal drug delivery and
  minimize pressure for the selection of resistance.

  Best-practice treatment principles: Sea lice resistance management, 2010

  In September 2000, Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health published a technical bulletin entitled Sea Lice Resistance Management (with particular reference to avermectins)...

• SLICE® Stability of Emamectin (93kb)
  

  Stability of emamectin benzoate in methanol stock solution at three different temperatures

  Bioassays are increasingly being used as a tool to predict sensitivity or to detect changes in sensitivity of sea lice to available sea lice treatments; methods are available for conducting bioassays with pyrethroids (deltamethrin [Alphamax®] and cypermethrin [Excis®]), azimethiphos [Salmosan®] and emamectin benzoate [SLICE®]...
