Description

Y-Tex Agressor Insecticidal Cattle Ear Tags (ML)

Active Ingredients: Abamectin @ 80g/kg & Piperonyl Butoxide @ 180g/kg

Y-Tex Agressor Insecticidal Cattle Ear Tags provide up to 16 weeks of control of Buffalo Flies* on beef and dairy cattle (including lactating dairy cattle). 

Y-Tex Agressor Insecticidal Cattle Ear Tag is a plastic tag containing a synergised formulation of Abamectin (avermectins B1a and B1b) and Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO). Abamectin is a highly active macrocyclic lactone that has never been used before in an ear tag in Australia.

The formulation contains a high loading of piperonyl butoxide, which synergizes the abamectin for maximum pesticidal action. This insecticide has excellent activity against strains of Buffalo Fly known to be resistant to other chemical compounds like organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids.  This allows for the first time, an annual three-way insecticidal rotation program to be adopted to reduce the impact of insecticide resistance.

Y-Tex Agressor Tags are resistant to other chemical compounds like organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids.
