WHAT IS Cydectin® Long Acting Injection For Cattle?

  • Cydectin Long Acting for Cattle is a low volume (1 mL/100 kg) high concentration 10% Moxidectin injection.
  • Moxidectin has advantages for the control of parasites. It is both potent and persistent when compared to other drench actives.3
  • Cydectin Long Acting for Cattle delivers 5 TIMES more drench active to the animal than commonly used injectable drenches.1,2
  • A higher concentration of the active increases efficacy and leads to longer protection against parasites.1-3
  • High efficacy and longer parasite protection has been shown to improve productivity.3-5

RECOMMENDED FOR

Cattle producers who prefer injectable drenches seeking enhanced and persistent parasite control, improved productivity and other benefits of a high concentration moxidectin formulation.

  • Provides season-long worm control to protect growing cattle on pasture.1,6
  • A single shot provides long duration cattle tick control in all cattle between 100 to 1000 kg.1

COMPOSITION:

100 mg/mL Moxidectin

DOSAGE & DIRECTION:

1 mg moxidectin/kg liveweight (1 mL/100 kg liveweight).

Inject subcutaneously into the back of the ear towards its base.

Avoid intravascular (into a blood vessel) injection.

Do not underdose.

A maximum of 5 mL can be injected into one site. Hence, for cattle above 500 kg, half of the total dose volume should be injected into the back of one ear towards its base, and the other half of the total dose should be injected into the base of the other ear towards its base.
