Effective Parasite Control

Zermex® 0.5% w/v Pour-On for Cattle provides internal and external parasite control of cattle. It contains moxidectin which is the only wormer approved for use five weeks pre-housing due to its persistent effect on worms and it is supported with the Lice FREE Guarantee for peace-of-mind at housing.

The Best Advice

Heavy lice infestations cause irritation which results in reduced growth rates.
Itching and rubbing against feed barriers disrupts feeding and results in hair
loss, most often over the neck and shoulders. Treating up to five weeks prehousing
means:

  • Cattle are FREE from parasites weeks before housing; delivering
    higher weight gains. What is more, Downland Guarantee cattle stay
    lice FREE from Housing to Turnout.*
  • The immune system has time to recover from parasite challenge pre-housing,
    possibly leading to better responses to respiratory vaccines.
  • Cattle cope better with the stress of housing.
  • Reduced risk of pneumonia.
