Description

Zeromec Premix For Pigs 5 kg

Zeromec Premix for Pigs is an ivermectin premix for convenient pig worm control in growing and breeding pigs. It is mixed into complete feed to treat and control gastrointestinal roundworms, kidney worms, lungworms, lice and mange mites, helping you manage parasite pressure through the trough rather than the race.

What Is Zeromec Premix For Pigs?

Zeromec Premix for Pigs is a medicated feed premix containing 6 g/kg ivermectin for in-feed parasite control in pigs.

When mixed and fed as directed for seven consecutive days, the premix delivers the recommended 100 µg ivermectin per kg liveweight per day. This supports effective control of key internal and external parasites in both growing pigs and adult breeding stock.

Why Choose Zeromec Premix For Pigs?

• In-feed dosing, no needles or raceway handling required.
• Treats and controls important internal and external pig parasites.
• Suitable for growers, finishers, sows and boars when fed correctly.
• Short 7 day meat withholding period and 7 day ESI.
• Flexible mixing options to suit different feed intakes and rations.

Because Zeromec Premix for Pigs is incorporated directly into feed, it fits well into existing feeding systems and allows whole groups to be treated together with minimal stress.

Which Parasites Does Zeromec Premix For Pigs Control?

When used at the recommended dose level, Zeromec Premix for Pigs helps control:

• Gastrointestinal roundworms including large roundworm, small brown stomach worm, nodule worm, stomach worm and intestinal threadworm.
• Kidney worms (Stephanurus dentatus).
• Lungworms (Metastrongylus species).
• Lice (Haematopinus suis).
• Mange mites (Sarcoptes scabiei var. suis).

Using an ivermectin premix as part of a planned program can help reduce parasite burdens and support growth and feed efficiency in pigs.

How Do I Use Zeromec Premix For Pigs?

Always read the label and follow the mixing tables for your system. The following points are a simplified guide only:

• Target dose: 100 µg ivermectin per kg liveweight daily for 7 consecutive days.
• Growing pigs on ad lib feed: Mix Zeromec Premix for Pigs into the complete ration at the rate shown on the label (for pigs eating about 5% of liveweight, this is achieved by adding 333 g Zeromec Premix per tonne of finished feed to give approximately 2 ppm ivermectin).
• Pigs on restricted or high protein diets: Increase the inclusion rate as per label tables so each pig still receives the full daily dose.
• Sows and boars: Thoroughly mix the premix into finished feed at the label rate and feed at 1 kg per 100 kg liveweight per day for 7 days, with no extra feed given until the medicated ration is eaten.
• Mixing: For even distribution, Zeromec Premix for Pigs is usually first blended into a small amount of finely ground feed to create an intermediate premix, then added to the final ration.

For best results, treat all pigs in the group at the same time and follow the recommended programs for breeders and growing pigs. Consult your veterinarian or nutritionist if you are unsure which inclusion rate suits your feed intake and weight range.

When Should I Treat Pigs With Zeromec Premix?

Use Zeromec Premix for Pigs as part of a planned parasite management program, for example:

• Sows 14 to 21 days before farrowing and again before joining, as directed on the label.
• Boars at least twice per year, with timing based on parasite risk.
• Feeder or finisher pigs on placement into clean accommodation.

Because management and parasite challenge vary between farms, your vet can help design a program that fits your herd and climate.

Withholding Periods And Trade Advice

• Meat withholding period (WHP): 7 days.
• Export Slaughter Interval (ESI): 7 days.
• Remove all medicated feed at least 7 days before pigs are sent for slaughter.

Always observe the stated WHP and ESI, especially when pigs are being consigned to export processors.

Safety Directions And Environmental Care

• Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin.
• Will irritate eyes, so avoid contact with eyes and face.
• When preparing and mixing feed, wear elbow length gloves and a suitable dust mask if dust is present.
• Wash hands after use and wash gloves after each day’s use.
• Ivermectin is extremely toxic to aquatic life. Do not allow product, medicated feed or empty containers to contaminate dams, waterways or drains.
• Shake out and empty all contents into feed before disposing of containers as directed on the label.
• Store below 25°C in a dry place and protect from light.
