DAIRY CATTLE PRODUCERS NO LONGER NEED TO COMPROMISE MILK PRODUCTION FOR NIL MILK DRENCH PERFORMANCE.

Failure to control worms around calving and in the first 100 days of lactation will:^9-11

• Reduce the volume of milk
• Decrease the fat and protein content of milk
• Increase the calving to conception interval.

DAIRY CATTLE PRODUCERS CAN NO LONGER RELY ON NIL MILK SINGLE ACTIVE DRENCHES

 

WHAT IS AN EFFECTIVE DRENCH FOR DAIRY CATTLE?

 

AUSTRALIAN DAIRY PRODUCERS CAN NOW RELY ON THE NEXT GENERATION OF CYDECTIN FOR ALL THEIR DAIRY HERD.

 

THE NEXT GENERATION DUAL-ACTIVE DRENCH FOR DAIRY CATTLE

• Highly Effective against single and dual resistant worms¹
• Increases productivity compared to single active drenches^2-5
• Zero Day (0) milk withhold period¹
• Persistent activity - delivering cleaner pastures for up to 35 days¹
• Has no known impact on dung beetles¹
• DMI-SORB Pour-on technology - 23% fasters absorption.¹²

Cattle producers must consider moving from single active drenches to combinations like Cydectin Platinum.

Unfortunately, many drenches are no longer effective against all key cattle worms.^1,2

A scientific article in the Australian Cattle Veterinarians (ACV) journal highlighted widespread drench resistance in Australia1. The overall mean efficacy of single active drenches was only 72 per cent. Drenches need to be working at 95% or better.

The study also showed that Cydectin Platinum had high efficacy (99-100%) against all key worms.^2,3  It is now a popular and convenient choice in Spring to “clean up” cattle.

Combination drenches are now the new standard in cattle. They ensure effective control of key cattle worms, including resistant strains, because they contain two actives with different modes of action targeting the same worm species.

Make sure you choose a combination drench, mainly if you used a single active drench in your last treatment.

EFFICACY IS IMPORTANT, BUT  WEIGHT GAIN IS CRITICAL.

Increasing the efficacy of your drench program by using a combination will increase weight gain. Multiple studies have proven that using a combination drench compared to a single active drench will increase the growth rate of your cattle.^2-4

For example, in a recent study, Cydectin Platinum over two months led to 8kg additional weight gain compared to a Dectomax ^® Pour-on3^.4

THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSISTENT ACTIVITY IN COMBINATION DRENCHES?

Most worm populations are usually in the paddock as larvae and eggs.

Successful worm control involves removing worms from animals and reducing their exposure to new worm burdens.

Most combination drenches lack persistent activity, allowing worm infestations to re-establish quickly. Cydectin Platinum is the only combination cattle drench with persistent activity providing cleaner pastures for up to 35 days.³

IT IS TIME YOU MOVE TO CYDECTIN PLATINUM.

Ensure you are using a highly effective and persistent drench to clean out cattle of all worms, kill incoming worm larvae for longer, reduce the overall paddock contamination and protect the growth of your cattle on pasture.

Cydectin Platinum delivers:

• Unrivalled worm control (99-100%), highly effective against single and dual-resistant worms³
• Short 20-day ESI & Nil Milk WHP³
• It prevents pasture contamination for up to 35 days³
• No known impact on dung beetles³
