Key Features – Vetmec Tickmaster Pour-On
- Strategic control of cattle ticks on beef cattle. Including tick strains resistant to organophosphates, synthetic pyrethroids as well as amidines.
- Fluazuron prevents the development of incoming cattle tick larvae and nymphs, thus protecting your cattle up to 12 weeks!
- Eggs laid by treated females become non-viable (won’t hatch). Vetmec Tickmaster Pour-On breaks the lifecycle, therefore helping to lower the tick burden on pastures.
Dosage
Recommended dose rate is 3mL/50kg.
Apply in 2 bands from shoulder to rump on either side of the spine using the Vetmec Pour-On Applicator.
