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.

Why choose Y-Tex Agressor Insecticidal Cattle Ear Tags;

  • Contains the active ingredients Abamectin & Piperonyl Butoxide
  • It contains a unique chemical compound making it ideal for use as a third rotation option in the Insecticidal tag rotation program with organophosphates (OP) (OPtimizer, Co-Ral, Patriot and Warrior) and synthetic pyrethroids (SP) (PYthon, Cylence Ultra and PYthon Maxima) to minimise Buffalo Fly insecticide resistance.
  • It is the only ear tag worldwide to contain a macrocyclic lactone (ML), which has excellent pesticidal activity against OP and SP-resistant strains of Buffalo Fly.
  • Provides control of Buffalo Fly for up to 16 weeks, reducing the need for frequent re-treatments and mustering costs.
  • Works rapidly, usually eliminating Buffalo Flies within one (1) day.
  • It is the only synergised Abamectin tag worldwide, designed for extended release of active ingredients.
  • The Y-Tex Agressor Insecticidal Cattle Ear Tag has no objectionable odour.
  • Rainfast; Y-Tex Agressor was proven effective in field studies in North Queensland, where rainfall over 1,000mm was recorded over the four-month trial period.
  • Provides sustained pest control potency that can result in increased weight gains.
  • Nil withholding period in the meat of Beef Cattle.
  • Has patented Snap-Lok collar for guaranteed retention against the tag or button failure for five (5) months.

  • For Buffalo Fly Control: Apply only when fly numbers exceed acceptable levels.

  • The whole herd is to be treated concurrently.
  • Remove Y-Tex Agressor Insecticidal Cattle Ear Tag before slaughter.

    Answered by the admin

    Y-Tex Agressor Insecticidal Cattle Ear Tags should be applied to all animals in the herd for the best control of Buffalo Flies. This includes calves, providing they are old enough to tolerate an ear tag without causing damage. All animals should be treated with two (2) tags per beast. Calves not tagged will not receive adequate protection from cows with tags.

    All Y-Tex Fly Tags have an expiry date as they are Veterinary Medicines and fall under the APVMA regulations.  This date is applicable if the sealed bag of tags is sealed and unopened.  Once opened and exposed to the elements the chemical will leach out of the tag, hence why they need to be removed from the cattle after their protection period has expired.  Y-tex Agressor Tags should be removed 16 weeks after application.
