Description

Levistar LV Oral Drench is a high-potency, low-volume anthelmintic solution. Specifically, it contains 80 g/L levamisole hydrochloride, which is equivalent to 68 g/L levamisole. This formula controls levamisole-sensitive gastrointestinal roundworms and lungworms in sheep and cattle. Furthermore, as a Group 2 imidazothiazole drench, it provides a reliable option for Australian producers. Consequently, it effectively manages internal parasites that are resistant to other chemical classes.

Additionally, the concentrated formulation allows for a significantly smaller dose volume. This improves operational efficiency during yard work. Moreover, the product provides broad-spectrum control over both mature and immature parasite stages. As a result, this helps livestock maintain optimal growth and health. Notably, Levistar LV Oral Drench is highly effective against benzimidazole-resistant strains of Barber’s Pole Worm and Black Scour Worm in sheep.

What parasites does Levistar LV Oral Drench control?

Levistar LV Oral Drench controls a wide range of levamisole-sensitive roundworms and lungworms in both cattle and sheep. In sheep, it targets Barber’s Pole Worm, Black Scour Worm, Small Intestinal Worm, Stomach Hair Worm, Thin-Necked Intestinal Worm, Hookworm, Large-Mouthed Bowel Worm, Strongyloides, Nodule and Large Bowel Worms, Large Lungworm, and Small Brown Stomach Worm. For cattle, it is effective against the same range of parasites, with a specific focus on mature Ostertagia species in animals under 12 months of age.

Is Levistar LV effective against resistant worms?

Yes, this drench is highly effective against benzimidazole-resistant strains of Barber’s Pole Worm and Black Scour Worm in sheep. However, because resistance can develop to any chemical, it is recommended that a drench resistance test be conducted before any parasite treatment is used. If you suspect drench failure, seek veterinary confirmation and notify the manufacturer immediately.

How is the cattle dose for Levistar LV Oral Drench calculated?

The cattle dose rate is 5 mL per 50 kg of liveweight, administered as an oral drench. For accurate dosing and optimum efficiency, it is essential to estimate liveweights carefully or weigh a representative sample of animals using scales or a weighband. To avoid underdosing, always base the dose rate on the heaviest animal in each group, such as bulls, cows, or calves.

How is the sheep dose for Levistar LV calculated?

The sheep dose rate is 1 mL per 10 kg of liveweight, administered as an oral liquid. This concentrated formulation allows for a low-volume dose that simplifies the drenching process while maintaining high efficacy. To ensure the best results, you must calculate the dose based on accurate liveweights. It is recommended to weigh a representative sample of the flock and set the equipment to the heaviest animal in the mob.
