Description
How Neovemox Long-Acting Injection works
Neovemox Long-Acting Injection for Cattle relies on the active ingredient moxidectin, a second-generation macrocyclic lactone with strong lipophilic (fat- or lipid-dissolving) properties. Once it is subcutaneously injected into an animal, Neovemox works by absorbing into body fat, where it is then stored and slowly released back into the bloodstream over time. This sustained release interferes with the nervous systems of internal and external parasites present in the animal, causing paralysis and death and providing extended residual protection.
Which parasites are controlled by Neovemox injections?
Neovemox Long-Acting Injection for Cattle is effective against moxidectin-sensitive strains of the following parasites:
Internal parasites (mature adult and immature L4 stages)
- Barber’s pole worm (Haemonchus placei, Haemonchus contortus)Â
- Brown stomach worm (Ostertagia ostertagi, O. lyrata), including inhibited larvae
- Black scour worm (Trichostrongylus spp., Trichostrongylus axei)Â
- Hookworm (Bunostomum phlebotomum)
- Lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus)
- Nodule worm (Oesophagostomum radiatum)
- Small intestinal worm (Cooperia oncophora, C. pectinata, C. punctata)
- Thin-necked intestinal worm (Nematodirus spathiger, N. helvetianus)Â
- Whipworm (Trichuris discolor, Trichuris ovis)
External parasites
- Biting lice (Bovicola bovis) – control only
- Mites (Chorioptes bovis)
- Sucking lice (Linognathus vituli, Haematopinus eurysternus, Solenopotes capillatus)
Cattle tick (Rhipicephalus [Boophilus] microplus)
Neovemox Long-Acting Injection can be used to treat cattle tick strains resistant to organophosphates, synthetic pyrethroids, and amidines. Its persistent activity prevents the development of viable ticks for at least 51 days, and egg production for at least 65 days.Â
Some engorged female cattle ticks containing viable eggs may drop for up to four days after initial treatment. This should be considered when planning a strategic tick control program. As with any endectocide, resistance may develop over time.
Persistent protection periods when using Neovemox injections
When administered as a single subcutaneous injection at the recommended dosage, Neovemox Long-Acting Injection prevents reinfection for the following periods:
| Parasite species | Duration of persistent protection |
| Barber’s pole worm (Haemonchus placei, Haemonchus contortus) | 120 days |
| Black scour worm (Trichostrongylus axei) | 72 days |
| Brown stomach worm (Ostertagia ostertagi, O. lyrata) | 112 days |
| Lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus) | 120 days |
| Nodule worm (Oesophagostomum radiatum) | 120 days |
| Small intestinal worm (Cooperia oncophora, C. pectinata, C. punctata) | 21 days |
| Cattle tick (Rhipicephalus [Boophilus] microplus) | 51 days (65 days egg suppression) |
| Sucking lice (Linognathus vituli) | 133 days |
Why choose Neovemox Long-Acting Injection for Cattle
Moxidectin injections like Neovemox are ideal for producers seeking reliable, long-lasting control of internal and external parasites. They offer a wide range of benefits to users, including:Â
- Gradual release of high-concentration moxidectin, leading to residual control for up to four months
- Efficacy against adult, immature, and inhibited larval stages of key parasites, including cattle ticks and resistant strains
- Persistent activity to prevent reinfestation
- Reduced labour and mustering frequency
- Safety around dung beetle activity when used as directed
- No repeated handling, saving time and money
- Compatibility with strategic parasite and resistance management programs
When and where to use Neovemox Long-Acting Injection for Cattle
Neovemox Long-Acting Injection is suitable for beef and dairy cattle in extensive grazing systems, and is commonly used during key seasonal risk periods to treat parasites like worms and cattle ticks.
It is most effective when incorporated into a planned, strategic parasite control program, particularly in regions where parasite and cattle tick pressure is high. Its long-acting nature and subsequent reduced handling makes it ideal when extended protection is required and follow-up treatments are hard to manage.
Always use Neovemox Long-Acting Injection for Cattle in accordance with the Product Label. Seek professional advice when designing whole-farm parasite control strategies – our team of experts is always available to help.
Dung beetle safety when using moxidectin injections
When used according to the Product Label, the levels of moxidectin excreted in dung are not likely to have any significant adverse effect on the following dung beetle species:
- Euoniticellus intermedius
- Euoniticellus fulvus
- Onthophagus gazella
- Onthophagus taurus
Effects on other dung beetle species have not been fully evaluated, and so, caution should be exercised in these contexts.
