Description

Paramectin Pour-On for Cattle is an abamectin pour-on for cattle that treats internal and external parasites. It contains 5 g/L abamectin, a macrocyclic lactone from the avermectin family. Producers apply it to beef and dairy cattle to control roundworms, lungworm, lice, buffalo fly, and cattle tick. The solution pours straight onto the backline. Therefore, you avoid the labour of oral drenching.

As a result, it suits routine worm control and lice treatment at the same handling event. Moreover, it protects treated cattle from buffalo fly reinfestation for up to 14 days.

Is Paramectin Pour-On For Cattle safe for use on pregnant cattle?

Q Is Paramectin Pour-On For Cattle safe for use on pregnant cattle?
Asked by Luke on August 22, 2023 3:41 pm

A
No contradictions are stated on the 'directions for use' label for Paramectin Pour-On For Cattle regarding the use of pregnant cows. If possible, handling cows late into the pregnancy and close to calving should be avoided to avoid potential complications related to handling stress. The 'directions for use' are on the Paramectin Pour-On product screen. Scroll down to the heading 'SDS & Technical' select, and a pdf will become available for download or printing.

I use Paramectin on my cattle. How often is it needed to be applied to control buffalo fly. I just reapply when the fly's start to worry them again, usually 40 or so days out. Is that correct to do this or is there a limit on it's use.

Answered by the admin
To maintain withholding periods and animal safety, the minimum retreatment interval for Paramectin Pour-On is 35 days. If fly pressure is high you may have to look at alternating to a specific Buffalo Fly backline treatment such as Brute Pour-On, Easy-Dose Pour-On or Demize Pour-On. The use of Backrubbers or Insecticidal Fly Tags might also be of interest.
