Vetsense Ivermec Pour-On for Cattle 1L – Ivermectin Pour-On Wormer for Lice, Ticks & Buffalo Fly

Vetsense Ivermec Pour-On for Cattle 1L – Ivermectin Wormer & Lice Treatment

Vetsense Ivermec Pour-On for Cattle is a 5mg/mL ivermectin pour-on for the treatment and control of internal and external parasites in beef and dairy cattle. Made in Australia and registered with the APVMA, it is applied along the backline, so there is no need to drench or inject.

The 1L pack suits mid-sized herds and repeat treatments across the season, treating up to 100 cattle in the 50–100kg range or 20 cattle in the 451–500kg range.

Cattle Pour-On for Worms, Lungworm, Lice, Ticks & Buffalo Fly

This ivermectin cattle pour-on is labelled for gastrointestinal roundworms and lungworm, sucking and biting lice, chorioptic and sarcoptic mange mites, cattle ticks and buffalo flies. One application covers both internal and external parasites, keeping your cattle parasite program simple.

The label also states residual activity against Ostertagia for up to 14 days, buffalo fly for up to 21 days and lungworm for up to 28 days after treatment, helping protect cattle from reinfection during that period.

Nil Milk Withholding Period for Dairy & Beef Herds

With a nil milk withholding period, Vetsense Ivermec can be used on lactating dairy cows without discarding milk. The meat withholding period and export slaughter interval are both 42 days, so plan treatments around sale and slaughter dates.

For best results, apply to cattle with dry hair and hide, and avoid treating when rain is likely within two hours of application.

How to Use

1. Weigh Your Cattle: Weigh a representative sample of the mob using scales or a weighband. If weights vary widely, draft cattle into two or more groups by bodyweight.

3. Dose Heavy Cattle Correctly: For animals over 650kg, such as mature bulls, add 5mL for every additional 50kg.
4. Check Coat Condition: Treat only when hair and hide are dry. Avoid applying over caked mud, manure, mange scabs or skin lesions.
5. Apply Along the Backline: Using a pour-on applicator, apply a narrow strip along the topline from the withers to the tailhead. Do not give orally or by injection.
6. Record Withholding Periods: Note the 42-day meat withholding period and ESI, and do not retreat within 42 days.
7. Handle and Store Safely: Wash hands after use and keep the product away from heat and open flame. Store below 30°C away from light, and keep it out of dams and waterways.
