• NIL MILK WHP

With a nil milk WHP, Dectomax PO is the perfect choice for parasite management in dairy cattle at dry off.

• BROADER COVERAGE
  Dectomax^® protects against re-infection from more of the important profitability-robbing parasites, both internal and external*, than any other cattle drench. Maximum weight gains from superior parasite control.
• LONGER PROTECTION
  Dectomax^® contains the unique molecule doramectin, with a chemical ring at the C-25 position of its core active structure. This makes Dectomax^®active for longer, so it protects for longer.
• FEWER TREATMENTS
  Because it protects for longer, Dectomax^® keeps pastures cleaner for longer. Which means you can extend the time between treatments. And fewer treatments save time and money.
• WIDE SAFETY MARGIN
  Dectomax^® has a wide safety margin in all ages of stock, including young calves, pregnant stock and bulls. Its broad spectrum of activity, favourable pharmacokinetics and exceptional toleration make it an ideal product for application as an anti-parasitic for cattle.

Rain fast:

The efficacy of Dectomax^® Pour-On Endectocide is not adversely affected if applied when the hide is wet or if rain falls shortly after treatment. However, treatment of animals with wet hides or when rain threatens should be avoided as it is not good agricultural practice.
