MATRIX® Hi-Mineral is the ultimate three-way oral drench designed to provide sheep with outstanding parasite control and essential mineral support.

Benefits

  • Triple Combination Efficacy (3-Way): Delivers powerful control of mixed gastrointestinal infections using abamectin, levamisole, and oxfendazole – proven effective even against single or dual-resistant parasite strains.
  • Drench Resistance Management: Designed to combat resistance by combining three actives with different modes of action, ensuring few resistant parasites survive - this can help slow the development of resistance.
  • Broad Spectrum Control: Targets major internal parasites including Haemonchus, Ostertagia, Cooperia, Trichostrongylus, Nematodirus, and Dictyocaulus (Lungworm), including inhibited larvae stages.
  • Mineralised for Performance: Provides essential cobalt and selenium to support growth, reproduction, immune function, and energy metabolism in sheep.
  • Convenient Low Volume Dose: Easy-to-administer oral drench with a low volume dose rate of just 1 mL per 5 kg body weight.

Directions

  • Shake well before use. Ready to use through standard drenching equipment.
  • A representative sample of animals should be weighed before treatment.
  • Dose the mob to the heaviest animal by liveweight in each group (ewes, wethers, rams, lambs).
  • 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.
  • Correct drenching technique should be used.
  • Check the accuracy of drench guns regularly.
  • Rinse drench gun with water immediately after use.

Recommended Use

Timing of treatments will depend on the parasite pressure on individual farms. Diagnostic testing and historical results including faecal egg counts (FECs), faecal egg count reduction tests (FECRTs) and larval cultures can help you to understand and manage the parasite burden and resistance challenges facing your cattle.
Talk to your local vet about parasite management practices for your area to reduce the development of resistance.

General Guidance

  • Doses of 3 or more times those recommended can cause symptoms of levamisole toxicity, so estimate liveweights carefully.
  • Dehydrated animals may be more susceptible to toxicity.
  • Fatal interactions can occur between levamisole and organophosphate dips.
  • Do not use at the same time as any other selenised fertilizer, prill or product and do not exceed stated dose or frequency without consulting a veterinarian.
