Benefits

Control of cattle ticks

Cattle tick is the most significant cause of economic loss to the Australian cattle industry3. After application, the ivermectin in GENESIS Pour-On enters the animals’ bloodstream and is ingested by ticks when they take a blood meal. Maximum tick efficacy is achieved 4-5 days after treatment. Engorged female ticks that drop from cattle in the initial days after treatment may lay viable eggs. This should be taken into account when planning a strategic tick control program.

Dairy cattle

Gastrointestinal worms have been shown to impact the performance of cattle due to the impact of parasitic disease on animal health. Studies have shown that effective control of gastrointestinal worms can result in significant production advantages compared to cattle with uncontrolled worm burdens.1,2

Studies have also shown that controlling worm burdens in mid-lactation may result in better milk production increases compared to worm control at dry off or calving.1,2 The NIL milk withholding period of GENESIS Pour-On allows dairy farmers the flexibility to benefit from effective worm control with an endectocide treatment at any stage of production.
