High Concentration Drench - still a proven performer for cattle producers

Recent research has found that using a high-concentration injectable drench resulted in steers that were 29.5 kg heavier than untreated animals and 9.9 kg heavier than Dectomax-treated animals over 127 days.1

Virbac Australia collaborated with the NSW DPI and Local Lands Service (LLS) to study the response to injectable drenches.

  • 280 mixed-breed steers sourced from over 60 properties
  • Mean starting weight of 275 kg
  • Mixed worm infestation with a high level of Barber’s Pole

 

  

HIGH-CONCENTRATION DRENCH DRIVES CATTLE WEIGHT GAIN

 The research found that Cydectin Long Acting injection for cattle is still highly effective against the deadly barber’s pole worm1*.

 

 

EFFICACY IS IMPORTANT, BUT WEIGHT GAIN IS EVERYTHING

 

 

 

Results proved that cattle drench efficacy is essential, but weight gain is critical.

Over 127 Days Cydectin Long Acting group presented:

  • An additional 9.9 Kg compared to Dectomax Injection
  • An additional 29.5 kg compared to the untreated group
  • That’s up to $52.00 extra per head.**

Treating 100 weaners with Cydectin Long Acting injection for cattle profitability can be increased up to $5,200 compared to commonly used injectable drenches such as Dectomax Injection.

 

Cydectin Long Acting for Cattle - The High Concentration Injection for Cattle

It delivers 5 X TIMES more drench active to the animal than 1% injectable drenches, including Dectomax Injection, Dectomax® V injection and Cydectin® Injection.

 High-concentration drench means improved worm control and longer persistence resulting in enhanced cattle productivity (Weight Gain).

Don’t miss your shot. Choose Cydectin Long Acting injection and improve cattle productivity.
