Description

How does TickPro Pour-On work against cattle ticks?

Fluazuron, the active ingredient in TickPro Pour-On treatment, works by disrupting the production of chitin, an essential compound for tick development. Once administered, immature ticks are unable to moult to the next stage, and any eggs laid by treated females will fail to hatch.

This tick pour-on for cattle targets all known acaricide-resistant strains of cattle tick, helping to reduce tick burdens in both cattle and pasture contexts. Proper use of this product will support long-term tick management.

Once applied, cattle may take between two and three weeks to be visibly free of ticks as TickPro travels gradually throughout the tick population.

How long does TickPro protect cattle from ticks?

Typically, TickPro Pour-On Tick Development Inhibitor will provide up to 12 weeks of protection against Boophilus microplus, depending on rainfall, stock density, and infestation severity. Lactating cows may experience a shorter protection period of six to eight weeks as the active ingredient is excreted in milk.

How to manage fluazuron resistance in cattle

Resistance to fluazuron is becoming increasingly common in Australia and is typified by a shorter protection period. To maintain efficiency when using TickPro, consider these tips:

Rotate with a mectin-based pour-on treatment such as Cattle Pro Pour-On for Beef & Dairy Cattle
Limit use to three applications per year
Test for resistance if protection periods appear to shorten without warning
Seek professional advice to design a strategic tick control program to suit your needs

At Specialist Sales, we’re always here to help. Get in contact with our team of experts to discuss your ongoing cattle tick management needs.

Can I use TickPro on calves?

Yes, you can use TickPro as a tick control method for both weaned and suckling calves. Fluazuron passes through the milk of treated cows, providing suckling calves with enough protection for up to several weeks without any additional treatment. Weaned calves require individual treatment.

Is TickPro suitable for dairy cattle?

No, TickPro is not suitable for use on dairy cattle and is solely registered for beef cattle. It must not be administered to any cattle producing or intended to produce milk for human consumption.

Can TickPro help reduce ticks in pasture?

Yes, TickPro is an effective tick control product for reducing ticks in pasture. Because it prevents larvae from hatching, it will lower tick burdens over time. Strategic, repeated use can help suppress on-farm tick populations year-round.

Can TickPro be used on pregnant or lactating cows?

For pregnant cows, avoid using TickPro within six weeks of calving to reduce handling stress. Lactating cows may be treated, but the protection windows offered will likely be shorter as fluazuron is excreted through the milk.

What’s the difference between TickPro and Acatak?

Both TickPro and Acatak tick pour-on for cattle contain the same active ingredient (fluazuron at 25g/L) and address tick burdens in the same way. The main difference is the products’ origin – TickPro is an Australian-made alternative designed to suit local environmental conditions. It offers the same effective control at a more competitive price point.

Can I combine TickPro with other treatments?

Yes, this pour-on tick treatment for cattle can be integrated into a rotational tick program with mectin-based products (such as CattlePro) or organophosphate treatments to provide longer-term control.

As is the case with any chemical treatment, always adhere to the instructions outlined in the Directions for Use when using TickPro Pour-On Tick Development Inhibitor to control cattle tick.

Features & Benefits

TickPro Pour-On Tick Development Inhibitor is a powerful, ready-to-use treatment designed to keep cattle tick at bay. Producers across Australia choose TickPro for its wide range of benefits, including:

Long-term protection: TickPro offers up to 12 weeks of protection from a single treatment. Note that duration may vary depending on environmental conditions and livestock factors, e.g., if an animal is lactating.

High efficacy against resistant tick populations: TickPro’s active ingredient, fluazuron, has been proven to address resistant strains of Boophilus microplus.

Australia-specific formulation: Unlike competitors such as Acatak, TickPro Pour-On Tick Development Inhibitor has been designed specifically for tough Australian conditions and is entirely Australian-made.

Immediate action: This cattle tick pour-on product breaks the tick life cycle within just three days, working almost instantly to inhibit larval development.

Reduced pasture contamination: By preventing larvae from hatching, pastures are less likely to become contaminated with cattle tick.

Protection for suckling calves: There’s no need to treat suckling cows individually when you select this product, as protection is passed through milk.

TickPro Pour-On Tick Development Inhibitor is only registered to control Cattle Tick - Boophilus microplus. We recommend Coopers Exzolt Pour-On, which was recently released. Coopers Exzolt Pour-on for cattle is a next-generation ectoparasiticide that controls cattle ticks for 56 days, bush ticks for 21 days, and buffalo flies for 21 days. It contains fluralaner, a class of chemicals that is new in the Australian cattle parasite market, which delivers breakthrough control against external parasites and will help Australian cattle farmers fight chemical resistance.

TickPro Pour-On Tick Development Inhibitor is only registered to control Cattle Tick - Boophilus microplus. If you require both a tick inhibitor and a product to control internal and external parasites, including buffalo fly on cattle, you may want to consider TickPro Duo Pour-On (Fluazuron @15g/L & Ivermectin @ 5g/L).

Answered by the admin
Fluazuron is partially excreted through the milk in lactating cows. As a consequence calves sucking milk from treated mother cows get enough fluazuron to be protected against ticks for weeks: they don't need to be treated. With Fluazuron Tick Inhibitors (ie TickPro) there is no need to treat calves for cattle ticks as long as they suckle treated cows. Calves will receive adequate protection from their mother. Protection on lactating cows may be 4 to 6 weeks shorter than in non-lactating cows, depending also on milk production. The higher the amount of milk produced, the shorter the protection. The protection of lactating mother cows is shorter than in non-lactating animals because the administered dose is excreted faster in these cows than in non-lactating cattle.

Tips For Use

Administration:

TickPro Pour-On is a tick development inhibitor and kills ticks progressively. It can take 2 to 3 weeks for cattle to be visibly free of ticks. No additional treatment is necessary during that time, even on heavily infested animals. The development-inhibiting effect of TickPro Pour-On commences within 3 days of treatment.
TickPro Pour-On is not suitable for cleaning cattle moving into ‘gazetted’ cattle tick areas.
TickPro should be applied strategically, initially at the onset of the tick season, preferably prior to tick activity.
Re-treat when ticks are first seen, but not less than 6 weeks from the previous treatment.
Maximum number of treatments per year: 3.
TickPro is absorbed orally via grooming and through the skin.
TickPro should be applied in two 7cm wide bands, on either side of the spine from the shoulder to the tail. This maximises absorption and ensures effective concentrations of TickPro are reached.
There is no need to treat suckling calves. Calves will receive adequate protection from their mother.
The Pour-On Applicator must be suitable for use with harsh chemicals (Sentroprene Hose, Seals & Washers). Do not use standard pour-on applicators.
Dose individuals according to the heaviest animal in the mob. Do not underdose.
The weight of cattle should be determined by either scales or a weigh-band.
A reduced length of protection may occur in cows that are suckling calves.
TickPro Pour-On should not be applied to show cattle as a light scurfiness may be visible for some time after treatment.
The retreatment interval is 6 weeks from the previous treatment.

Restraint:

Do not use on cattle that are producing or may in the future produce milk for human consumption.

Contraindications:

This product is contraindicated for use on pregnant cows within 6 weeks of calving to avoid handling stress.

First Aid:

If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131 126.
For further information, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
