What is the use of eprinomectin injection?
Eprinomectin is a macrocyclic lactone that is a semisynthetic derivative of avermectin. Though the exact mechanism of action is unknown, it may work by causing increased permeability of the cell membrane of an invertebrate nerve and muscle cells.
Eprinomectin injection is used to treat gastrointestinal roundworms (including inhibited Ostertagia ostertagi), lungworms, grubs, sucking and biting lice, chorioptic and sarcoptic mange mites and horn flies.
Benefits OF Eprinomectin injection
- Superior Control: Far exceeds conventional dewormers (2 to 42 days) in duration and effectiveness.
- Enhanced Feed Conversion: Less parasite impact leads to better growth and more marketable weight.
- Optimal Timing: Works precisely when cattle are most vulnerable to parasites.
Safety
- Slaughter Withdrawal: Do not treat within 48 days of slaughter.
- Exclusions: Not for female dairy cattle 20 months or older, dry dairy cows, veal calves, breeding bulls, calves under 3 months, or cattle in feedlots/intensive rotational grazing.
Precautions of Eprinomectin injection
- Species-Specific Use: Intended for specific livestock and exotic animal species.
- Post-Injection Reactions: Possible site reactions, typically resolving without treatment.
