Why Choose Cydectin Oral Drench for Sheep?

1. Contains moxidectin –  Moxidectin is the most potent member of the ML family of drenches, meaning it can kill worms resistant to ivermectin and abamectin.
2. Broad spectrum parasite control –  Cydectin Oral is highly effective against all major internal parasites susceptible to an ML drench, including gastrointestinal roundworms and large lungworms. These worms reduce overall productivity, especially in young animals. Weight gains can be reduced, and wool growth can be affected significantly. Cydectin Oral also controls itch mite.
3. Persistent activity – Cydectin Oral prevents reinfection with Ostertagia spp and barber’s pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) for at least 14 days. It prevents pasture contamination by Ostertagia spp eggs for at least 35 days and barber’s pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) eggs for at least 30 days. Persistent activity is important when there is significant pasture contamination, as it can delay the need for subsequent drenching. Preventing pasture contamination by eggs can also delay the need for subsequent drenching.
4. Unselenised – Excess selenium can cause toxicity issues in sheep where sheep are receiving sufficient amounts of selenium using an un-selenised drench. If selenium supplementation via a drench is required, Cydectin Se Oral Drench is recommended.
5. Safety –  Cydectin Oral has a wide margin of safety when used as recommended and is readily accepted by sheep. It can be safely used concurrently with other treatments, including mineral supplements, fluke treatments and vaccines.
