IVOMEC POUR-ON FOR CATTLE (IVERMECTIN)

DESCRIPTION

Ivomec Pour-On for Cattle Active Ingredient: Ivermectin @ 5.0 mg/mL Ivomec Pour-on For Cattle is for the treatment and control of Ivermectin-sensitive gastrointestinal roundworms (including inhibited Ostertagia ostertagi), lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus), eyeworm (Thelazia spp.), sucking and biting lice, sarcoptic and chorioptic mange mites, buffalo fly (Haematobia irritans exigua) and cattle tick (Boophilus microplus) in cattle, and for the treatment and control of gastrointestinal roundworms and lungworm of red deer. Ivomec Pour-on For Cattle is made from Ivermectin @ 5g/L. Ivermectin is a macrocyclic lactone medication used to treat many types of parasite infestations.  The macrocyclic lactones have a very high efficacy against all stages (including inhibited forms) of the common cattle nematodes.  The least susceptible nematodes are Cooperia and Nematodirus spp.  Because of their high potency and elimination through milk, the macrocyclic lactones are not recommended for use in animals that produce milk for human consumption.  Eprinomectin and moxidectin pour-ons are exceptions and have no milk withdrawal time in many countries. When used as directed Ivomec Pour-On For Cattle treats and controls the following parasites of cattle: Gastrointestinal roundworms: Adult and immature: (L4): Small brown stomach worm (including inhibited stages) Ostertagia ostertagi Barbers pole worm Haemonchus placei Stomach hair worm Trichostrongylus axei Intestinal hair worm T. colubriformis Small intestinal worm Cooperia spp. Nodule worm Oesophagostomum radiatum Adult stages of: Cooperia oncophora C. punctata Oesophagostomum venulosum Whipworm Trichuris spp. Intestinal threadworm Strongyloides papillosus Immature stages of: Thin necked intestinal worm (L4) Nematodirus spp. Lungworm Dictyocaulus viviparous (adult and immature) Eyeworm Thelazia spp (adult stages) Sucking and Biting Lice: Linognathus vituli Haematopinus eurysternus Bovicola (Damalinia) bovis Solenopotes capillatus Buffalo Fly Haematobia irritans exigua Mites Chorioptes bovis & Sarcoptes scabiei var. bovis Cattle Tick Boophilus microplus (including organophosphate-, synthetic pyrethroid-, and amidine-resistant strains.)
