WORMS CAN PREVENT HIGH PERFORMING YOUNG STOCK AND HEIFERS ACHIEVING TARGETS
- Cattle are likely to be infected with gastrointestinal parasites, such as Cooperia and Ostertagia.
- Even low levels of parasitic infection can depress appetite.
- Worms also cause gut damage resulting in a decreased ability to absorb nutrients which means a reduction in feed utilisation.
- Even sub-clinical infection can lead to production losses such as decreased weight gain and taking longer to reach target weights.
- Pasture contamination continues the cycle of infection.
Longer grazing time
Studies conducted by IGER (Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research) showed that cattle treated with EPRINEX
- grazed for longer throughout the day
- selectively chose clover swards
- ate an extra 1 .0kg dry matter clover each day.
TIME GRAZING CLOVER TREATED VS UNTREATED HEIFERS Treated heifers grazed clover for an extra 30 min's per day'.
EPRINEX kills more worms and it's weatherproof.
- EPRINEX not only kills more species and stages of worms than any other pour-on, it works whatever the weather.
- Even when applied in extreme weather conditions, EPRINEX kills more worms for longer, including Cooperia.
EPRINEX is the most potent pour-on available.
EPRINEX treated cattle gained up to 22kg more
- Studies have demonstrated that cattle treated with EPRINEX show increases in weight gain of 17-27% compared to untreated animals = 20 - 22kg extra weight gain over 4 to 5½ months.
% Increase in daily weight gain over untreated
EPRINEX kills more worms for longer
- EPRINEX has long action against more species of worms than any other pour-on.
- Long action means you can use EPRINEX to control the worms in your cattle for longer by either using EPRINEX as a single strategic treatment or within a more comprehensive program.
The long-action of EPRINEX gives you the flexibility to design parasite control programs for all classes of stock and management systems.
EPRINEX is the most potent pour-on available
- EPRINEX kills more worm species and stops them producing eggs faster than other endectocides.
- Fast action means decreased pasture contamination for healthier stack.
- Decreased pasture contamination enables improved grazing management.

Mixed parasite infections are common in cattle. Current surveys show3 that Cooperia spp is the most common worm species found in faecal egg counts in cattle in Australia.
PARASITE SPECIES FOUND IN CATTLE FAECAL EGG COUNTS
Mixed gastrointestinal parasite infections were consistently found.
EPRINEX kills more species and stages of worms than any other pour-on to control the worms in your cattle.
EPRINEX PERSISTENT ACTIVITY IN CATTLE
The following parasite species are included within each of the relevant genera:
Ostertagia ostertagi, O. leptospicularus, O. lyrata, Cooperia oncophora, C. punctata, C. surnabada, Trichostrongylus axei, T colubriformis.
EPRINEX kills more worms for longer and gives you:
- increased grazing time and clover intake
- target weights reached sooner
- most potent pour-on available
- more than just rainfast, it's weatherproof
- no requirement for protective gear
- safe for all ages and stages of cattle
- no odour
- no fuss and no worries.
