Why Choose Ultimum?
TIMELY - ULTIMUM® is recommended for horses with a suspected large burden of encysted small strongyles (roundworms) typically in late Autumn or early Spring. It is also recommended for new horses arriving on a property with an unknown worming history.
TARGETED - ULTIMUM® is the ideal wormer for young and adult horses with a suspected large burden of encysted small strongyles. It is also recommended for new horses arriving on a property with an unknown worming history.
POWERFUL - ULTIMUM® contains moxidectin, a powerful and persistent second-generation ‘mectin’. When administered as part of Virbac’s Gold Standard strategic worming program, ULTIMUM® provides horses effective and sustainable worm control in conjunction with EQUIMAX®, EQUIMAX ELEVATION® and STRATEGY-T®. The Egg Reappearance Period (ERP) for ULTIMUM® is at least 14 weeks, which means that recontamination of the pasture by strongyle eggs is significantly reduced during this period. It is important to note that resistance may develop to any chemical.
Palatable - ULTIMUM® is an oral gel and easy to administer.
Developed and made in Australia. ULTIMUM® is an Australian developed and manufactured product that is designed specifically for Australian conditions.
