Farmers know that their cattle need to be free from worms at housing to ensure that they perform at their best and meet their targets.

They know that there is no point in feeding parasites over the winter, particularly this year when fodder stocks are limited and cost a premium.

Historically, cattle would have been dosed at the time of housing. However, more and more farmers are seeing the benefits of using a pre-housing dose.

By using Dectomax, you are ensuring that your herd is delivering the most for you.

Dectomax is different

Unlike conventional doses, Dectomax can be administered up to five weeks before housing.

Dectomax also has a persistent killing action against both hoose and stomach worms of at least five weeks, meaning that any infective larvae picked up after dosing and before housing will be killed.

Dectomax replaces the need to dose at housing time, so it is not an extra dose. Unlike the ivermectins, there have been no reported cases of worm resistance in Irish cattle dosed using Dectomax.

Cattle can be vaccinated against viral pneumonia at the same time as receiving their Dectomax pre-housing dose, giving the vaccines sufficient time to stimulate good protection against viral pneumonia before the animals are challenged at housing time.

Get the most from your autumn dosing programme by giving your cattle a Dectomax pre-housing dose up to five weeks before housing.
