For the treatment and control of internal parasites, nasal bot and itch mite in sheep. Contains 20 g/L moxidectin, a member of the macrocyclic lactone family of milbemycin / avermectins. It is effective against internal and external parasites sensitive to this family.
Long-acting single active moxidectin injections should be targeted at high-risk periods, lowering larval output onto pasture and breaking seasonal transmission cycle. Moxidectin provides excellent control of Haemonchus contortus (Barber’s Pole). Veterinarians should be involved in long-acting injection treatment decision making, as advice on management techniques to reduce the threat of parasite resistance developing, such as refugia strategies and drench check testing, is important.
