The first time a new class of drench has been released in combination to protect itself against resistance from its beginning.
Deliberately and thoughtfully designed combination.
Contains a completely new active, derquantel (10 mg/mL) that has no known resistance. The first active ingredient isfrom the entirely new SI (spiroindole) class with a completely different mode of action. Purposely combined with abamectin (1 mg/mL).
Designed for greater sustainability with each active protecting the other against resistance.
When used routinely Startect also extends the useful life of older more fragile drenches.
Export Slaughter Interval (ESI) of 28 days gives producers trading flexibility and speed to market.
