Maximus® Pour-on

MAXIMUS Pour-On for Cattle contains the powerful molecule MOXIDECTIN, a second generation member of the macrocyclic lactone (ML) family of drenches. Moxidectin is effective against both internal and external parasites of cattle, providing protection against roundworms as well as lice, buffalo fly and cattle tick.

Benefits

Cattle tick control

MAXIMUS Pour-On is effective for treatment and control of cattle tick, including strains resistant to organophosphates, synthetic pyrethroids and amidines (eg. amitraz). The persistent activity of MAXIMUS Pour-On prevents the development of viable cattle tick (Boophilus microplus) 21 days after treatment. For strategic programs treatment at 21 day intervals is recommended. The persistent activity of MAXIMUS POUR-ON can be used as an aid in the control of Buffalo Fly (Haematobia irritans exigua) for up to 14 days after treatment.

Rainfast, weatherproof protection

MAXIMUS Pour-On’s efficacy is not adversely affected if applied when the hide is wet, or if rain occurs shortly after application. However, efficacy against cattle tick and buffalo fly may be reduced if very heavy rain occurs following treatment.#

Effect on dung beetles

MAXIMUS Pour-On is not likely to have any significant adverse effect on the following dung beetles in Australia: Onthophagus gazella, O. taurus, Euoniticellus intermedius and E. fulvus.# Effects on other dung beetle species have not been fully evaluated.
