Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or when disposing of equipment washwaters. PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS Do not use, pour, spill or store near heat or open flame. PRODUCT INFORMATION Onager EW Miticide is recommended for use as a foliar application in labeled crops. Onager EW Miticide provides effective control of Tetranychid spider mite species. It is an emulsion to be mixed with water and applied as a spray. Onager EW controls mites through activity on eggs and immature stages. Control is achieved from either direct contact with the spray or from contact with treated plant surfaces. Through its ovicidal activity, Onager EW controls newly deposited mite eggs and eggs which are laid after application. Onager EW is also highly effective in controlling immature motile stages of target mite species that are sprayed or move onto treated surfaces. Adult mites are not directly affected. However, eggs produced by females in contact with treated surfaces will be rendered nonviable. Onager EW provides residual control of pest mite species. The degree and duration of control is dependent on the rate used, growth stage of the mite, species of mite, and climatic conditions under which the material is applied. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. USE RESTRICTIONS ON ALL CROPS x Apply this product as specified on the EPA approved label and any supplemental labeling. x Onager EW is an emulsion to be diluted with water for application in commercial plantings only. x Apply Onager EW prior to adult mite build up. Onager EW will not control adult spider mites. Use higher rates on moderate-to-high mite infestations or for larger plants with a dense canopy. If adult mites are present in medium-to-high populations, better results may be obtained using Onager EW in combination with a registered contact adulticide. The use of less than label rates is not recommended with Onager EW. x Do not make more than one application of Onager EW or any other hexythiazox product to the same crop per year. x Do not plant rotational crops other than those on this label within 120 days of this application. AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry intervals.

E.C.Z.M., Joanne Dodds, V.N., Karla Berry, V.N., Abdi Arif, M.V.Sc., Polly Taylor, Vet. M. B., Ph. D., Dip. E.C.V.A.A., Andrew Routh, B. V. Sc., Cert. Zoo. Med., and Frank Gasthuys, D.V.M., Ph. D., Dip. E.C.V.A.A. Abstract: General anesthesia poses risks for larger zoo species, like cardiorespiratory depression, myopathy, and hyperthermia. In ruminants, ruminal bloat and regurgitation of rumen contents with potential aspiration pneumonia are added risks. Thus, the use of sedation to perform minor procedures is justified in zoo animals. A combination of detomidine and butorphanol has been routinely used in domestic animals. This drug combination, administered by remote intramuscular injection, can also be applied for standing sedation in a range of zoo animals, allowing a number of minor procedures. The combination was successfully administered in five species of nondomesticated equids (Przewalski horse [Equus ferus przewalskii; n ¼ 1], onager [Equus hemionus onager; n ¼ 4], kiang [Equus kiang; n ¼ 3], Grevy’s zebra [Equus grevyi; n ¼ 4], and Somali wild ass [Equus africanus somaliensis; n ¼ 7]), with a mean dose range of 0.10–0.17 mg/kg detomidine and 0.07–0.13 mg/kg butorphanol; the white (Ceratotherium simum simum; n ¼ 12) and greater one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis; n ¼ 4), with a mean dose of 0.015 mg/kg of both detomidine and butorphanol; and Asiatic elephant bulls (Elephas maximus; n ¼ 2), with a mean dose of 0.018 mg/kg of both detomidine and butorphanol.

Biological data 2.1 Distribution: During the late Pleistocene, 40.000 years ago, Asian wild asses are known to have roamed as far as West Germany (Kurten 1968, cited in Feh et al. 2001). The Asiatic wild ass Equus hemionus, or khulan, once ranged across much of Central Asia, but is now globally threatened. The largest free-ranging populations are now restricted to a 250-km wide area (range 100-400km) across the Gobi Desert region of southern Mongolia. Over the last 23 years the population has moved further north and east into its former range (Reading et al. 2001). Mongolia represents one of the last strongholds for Asian wild asses, a wide ranging species that inhabits the Middle East (E.h.onager), Central Asia (E.h.kulan), parts of India (E.h.khur), and the Gobi desert of China and Mongolia (Reading et al.
