How Neovemox Pour-On for Cattle works
Neovemox is a moxidectin pour-on for cattle that relies on this powerful active ingredient to control a wide range of parasites. A second-generation macrocyclic lactone endectocide, moxidectin works by disrupting the nerve transmission in the nerve and muscle cells of parasites, leading to paralysis, and eventually, total parasite death.
When compared to older active ingredients, moxidectin is highly lipophilic, which means it can be absorbed into the animal’s body fat and released slowly over time. This helps to deliver extended residual activity, efficacy against a range of parasite species, and ongoing protection against reinfection.
Which parasites are controlled by Neovemox Pour-On?
This cattle drench is effective at controlling a variety of common internal and external parasites found in the Australian context, including:Â
Internal parasites (mature adult and immature L4 stages)
- Barber’s pole worm (Haemonchus placei)Â
- Brown stomach worm (Ostertagia ostertagi, O. lyrata), including inhibited larvae
- Black scour worm (Trichostrongylus axei, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Trichostrongylus longispicularis)Â
- Hookworm (Bunostomum phlebotomum)
- Lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus)
- Nodule worm (Oesophagostomum radiatum)
- Small intestinal worm (Cooperia oncophora, C. mcmasteri, C. punctata, C. pectinata, C. spatulata, C. surnabada)
- Thin-necked intestinal worm (Nematodirus helvetianus)Â
- Whipworm (Trichuris discolor, Trichuris ovis)
External parasites
- Biting lice (Bovicola bovis)
- Mites (Chorioptes bovis)
- Sucking lice (Linognathus vituli, Haematopinus eurysternus, Solenopotes capillatus)
Buffalo fly (Haematobia irritans exigua)
A moxidectin pour-on for cattle like Neovemox can aid in the control of buffalo fly for up to 14 days after initial treatment, and has been shown to prove useful as part of an integrated buffalo fly management program.
Cattle tick (Rhipicephalus [Boophilus] microplus)
When attempting to control organophosphate, synthetic pyrethroid, or amidine-resistant strains of cattle tick, Neovemox Pour-On presents an effective option. It prevents development of viable cattle tick for up to 21 days.
Some engorged female cattle tick may drop within the first three days after application and lay limited viable eggs. This is expected and must be accounted for in resistance management programs.
Persistent protection periods when using Neovemox Pour-On
At the recommended dose rate, Neovemox Pour-On helps prevent reinfection for the following periods based on parasite species:
| Parasite species | Duration of persistent protection |
| Barber’s pole worm (Haemonchus placei) | 28 days |
| Black scour worm (Trichostrongylus axei) | 28 days |
| Brown stomach worm (Ostertagia ostertagi, O. lyrata), including inhibited species | 42 days |
| Hookworm (Bunostomum phlebotomum) | 42 days |
| Lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus) | 42 days |
| Nodule worm (Oesophagostomum radiatum) | 42 days |
| Small intestinal worm (Cooperia oncophora, C. pectinata, C. punctata) | 21 days |
| Thin-necked intestinal worm (Nematodirus helvetianus)Â | 21 days |
| Cattle tick (Rhipicephalus [Boophilus] microplus) | Up to 21 days |
