Ivomec Pour-On For Cattle IVOMEC-POUR-ON Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health

Description

Which parasites does Ivomec Pour-On for Cattle control?

Ivomec Pour-On for Cattle controls ivermectin-sensitive gastrointestinal roundworms (including adult, immature, and inhibited stages), lungworm, eyeworm, sucking and biting lice, sarcoptic and chorioptic mange mites, buffalo fly, and cattle tick, including strains resistant to organophosphates, synthetic pyrethroids, and amidines.

Persistent protection periods when using Ivomec Ivermectin Pour-On for Cattle

When administered at the recommended dose of 1mL for every 10kg of liveweight, Ivomec Pour-On offers the following persistent protection periods:

Parasite species Duration of persistent protection
Biting louse (Bovicola bovis) Up to 56 days
Buffalo fly (Haematobia irritans exigua)  Up to 21 days
Cattle tick (Boophilus microplus) [prevents viable adults] 28 days
Lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus) Up to 28 days
Nodule worm (Oesophagostomum radiatum) Up to 21 days
Small brown stomach worm (Ostertagia spp.) Up to 21 days
Small intestinal worm (Cooperia spp.) Up to 14 days
Stomach hair worm (Trichostrongylus axei) Up to 14 days
Sucking louse (Linognathus vituli) Up to 56 days

How is Ivomec Pour-On applied?

  • For best results, apply Ivomec cattle pour-on drench along the topline of the animal, in a narrow strip from the withers to the tailhead.
  • The dosage rate is 1mL for each 10kg of liveweight.
  • Ensure accuracy by weighing cattle using scales or a weighband prior to treatment, then dosing the mob based on the heaviest animal in each group.
  • When there is a large variation in bodyweight within a group, draft cattle into two or more lines to avoid overdosing.

What are the withholding periods for Ivomec Pour-On for Cattle?

Ivomec Pour-On for Cattle carries a meat withholding period for cattle of 42 days. Do not administer this product to cows 28 days prior to calving, or during lactation when milk or milk products are intended for human consumption.

For red deer, Ivomec’s withholding period before slaughter is 35 days.

Does Ivomec Pour-On work on resistant cattle tick strains?

Yes. Ivomec Pour-On treatment is effective at controlling Boophilus microplus, including strains that are resistant to organophosphates, synthetic pyrethroids, and amidines. After treatment, maximum efficacy against cattle ticks is reached within approximately four to five days. 

Engorged females that drop off shortly after treatment may still lay viable eggs, so always factor this into your tick management program.

How should Ivomec Pour-On for Cattle be stored?

Store it below 30°C and keep the bottle in its carton to protect from light. The formulation may become cloudy if stored below 0°C, but allowing it to return to room temperature restores normal appearance without affecting its efficacy. 

Colour fading after brief light exposure does not indicate a loss of potency, but prolonged light exposure over weeks may reduce ivermectin activity.

Can I use Ivomec on pregnant or lactating cattle?

Ivomec has a wide safety margin and can be used in cattle of all ages, including pregnant and breeding animals, when used according to the product label. 

Importantly, do not use Ivomec Ivermectin Pour-On 28 days before calving or during lactation where milk is for human consumption.

Questions and answers from customers

    Does Ivomec Pour-On For Cattle go through the cows milk to benefit their calves?

  1. Q Does Ivomec Pour-On For Cattle go through the cows milk to benefit their calves?
    Asked by Tom on August 29, 2024 7:30 pm
    Answered by the admin

    Some ivermectin from the Ivomec Pour-On For Cattle may be excreted in the milk, but it's not in sufficient quantities to provide meaningful parasite control for the calves. When feasible, the calves should receive their own backline application of Ivomec Pour-On For Cattle.

  2. Does Ivomec Pour-On For Cattle have adverse effects on dung beetle populations?

  3. Q Does Ivomec Pour-On For Cattle have adverse effects on dung beetle populations?
    Asked by Sherron on March 25, 2024 11:52 am
    Answered by the admin

    The Ivomec Pour-On For Cattle label does not advise if the product affects dung beetle and earthworm populations. Studies have shown that Ivermectin, the active ingredient in Ivomec Pour-On For Cattle, can adversely affect dung beetles if it enters their environment through cattle dung. 

  4. The directions for Ivomec Pour-On For Cattle state that it works for 28 days for cattle tick control. However, it should only be applied every 42 days. Does that mean I should use a product with a different ingredient in between to maintain protection?

    Asked by Tammy on August 20, 2023 1:48 pm
    A

    If after 28 days from the application of Ivomec Pour-On, and before the minimum 42 days for re-application, cattle have a re-infestation of the cattle tick, we recommend a different active should be used. This should be a chemical separate from a 'mectin' pour-on (i.e. a dip, spray or another chemical group like fluazuron). It is essential to have a tick management plan to suit your situation and rotate tick control products to avoid resistance. For further information regarding tick management, please read our blog 'How to effectively treat cattle ticks' on our website  https://specialistsales.com.au/information-advice/treat-cattle-ticks/.

    Ivermectin Pour-On's have wide safety margins and are well tolerated by breeding animals, including pregnant animals. It is not recommended to apply Ivermectin Pour-On's less than 7-days before calving. You should also be aware of the dangers of handling stress on pregnant cows late in pregnancy.
