Eprinex-25L-Gun-Pack-Shot

In studies with NZ dairy cows, the potent effects of EPRINEX on parasites resulted in an average of +0.6 kg more daily milk, +15 g more milk protein, and +30 g more milksolids1. Based on an average herd size of 500 cows and a $9.50 payout, this can generate a return of $72.57 per cow. An average herd of 500 could return an extra $36,285 (including the cost of EPRINEX treatment).

Total Value of production increase

Calculation for “Current Season” based on increase in milksolids on average by 0.03 kg/cow/day,following an EPRINEX treatment1,2 compared to no treatment. This equates to 8.22 kg MS/cow/lactation (days in milk of 274 days). Less cost of treatment for adult dairy cow of $4.95.

EPRINEX contains eprinomectin - the most potent active ingredient identified to date to kill gastrointestinal parasites in cattle1.

Benefits

Proven Production Gains: In independent studies with NZ dairy cows, the potent effects of EPRINEX(R) on parasites resulted in more daily milk, milk protein and milk solids.2,3

Proven milk response: cows on their second or subsequent lactation given EPRINEX Pour-On within 1 week of calving produced on average +0.6 kg EXTRA milk each day and their milk contained on average +15 g more protein and +30 g more milk solids each day.

Broad-spectrum parasite control: Contains eprinomectin, the most potent active ingredient identified to kill gastrointestinal parasites in cattle.

Nil milk withhold: Treat lactating dairy cows with no milk discard.

Rainfast convenience: Efficacy is not affected by rain before or after treatment.

Wide margin of safety: Up to 5x the recommended dose showed no adverse effects in cattle or deer.

Directions

  • Apply along the topline in a narrow strip from withers to tailhead.
  • A representative sample of animals should be weighed before treatment; base dose on the heaviest in each group.
  • Do not underdose.
  • If there is a large variation in size within the group, draft into two or more lines based on bodyweight to avoid excessive overdosing.
  • Check dosing equipment regularly for accuracy.
  • Rinse applicator after use.

Recommended Use

  • Timing: Treat adult dairy cows around calving or mid lactation for milk production benefits; selective treatment of low BCS dairy cattle at scanning; treat beef; treat beef cattle and deer as part of parasite control program.
  • Resistance Management: For best results EPRINEX Pour-On should be part of a total parasite control program. Consult your veterinarian for a complete parasite control program.

General guidance

  • Do not apply to areas covered with mud or manure.
  • Do not give orally or by injection.
