Applied early in the season as part of a strategic control program, Acatak Duostar Pour-On not only reduces the build-up of the tick population on cattle and pastures but helps to prolong the life of all available tick treatments.

Directions Of Use

Dose Rate:

The recommended dose rate is 5mL of Acatak Duostar per 50kg body weight (10mL per 100kg)

Body weight (kg)	Dose (mL)	Apply in Two Bands. Dose / Band (mL)
101 – 150	15	7.5
151 – 200	20	10
201 – 250	25	12.5
251 – 300	30	15
301 – 350	35	17.5
351 – 400	40	20
401 – 450	45	22.5
451 – 500	50	25

For best results, Acatak Duostar should be applied in two 7cm wide bands, either side of the spine from shoulder to tail. This maximises absorption and ensures effective concentrations of Acatak Duostar are reached.
The weight of cattle should be determined by either scales or a weighband.
Dose individuals according to the heaviest animal in the mob.
Do not underdose.

Questions and answers from customers

We have a heavy tick infestation on beef breeding cattle. I note the product information says that it is unnecessary to treat suckling calves; however, in this case, we would like to dose calves > 50kg for the immediate knockdown of ticks and hopefully turn the health of animals around quicker. Is it safe to use on calves at the recommended dose rate per kg?

Acatak Duostar Tick Development Inhibitor is not recommended for use on calves under 100kg. The lightest weight animal this should be applied to is 101kg, as indicated on the 'directions for use'. This is due to the active ingredients requiring a certain fat level along the animal's backbone, where the chemical can be absorbed.

I have purchased Acatak and ready to use prior to tick and Buffalo fly season. Today is 1 November and I have a station north of Cairns and stud Brangus cattle. Q 1. Is it OK to use Buffalo fly tags in conjunction with Acactak? Q 2. What length of protection for tick and Buffalo fly can I expect as we start our Wet around Christmas, I intend to treat in a couple of days.

You can use Acatak Duostar Tick Development Inhibitor & Broad Spectrum Pour-On and Insecticidal Buffalo Fly tags simultaneously. The Ivermectin in the Duostar will only provide short-term fly control (up to 21 days), but the fly tags will last much longer (3-4 months), depending on the brand used. Note that neither product will give complete buffalo fly control but should reduce the numbers to the point that is bearable for the animal. The tick control from Acatak Duostar Tick Development Inhibitor & Broad Spectrum Pour-On is up to 12 weeks. When the parasite pressure is extreme at the peak of the season, the length of control time may be reduced, and reapplication may be required.

Tips For Use

Application & Critical Comments:

Acatak 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 is 3.
There is no need to treat suckling calves. Calves will receive adequate protection from their mother.
Acatak Duostar is absorbed orally via grooming and through the skin.
For best results, Acatak Duostar should be applied in two 7cm wide bands, either side of the spine from shoulder to tail. This maximises absorption and ensures effective concentrations of Acatak Duostar are reached.
The weight of cattle should be determined by either scales or a weighband. Dose individuals according to the heaviest animal in the mob. Do not underdose.
Acatak Duostar should not be applied to show cattle as a light scurfiness may be visible for some time after treatment.
The effect of Acatak Duostar is not adversely affected if rain occurs after application.
Pour-On Applicator must be suitable for use with harsh chemicals (Santoprene Hose, Seals & Washers). Do not use standard pour-on applicators.
