Unique Ivermectin Formula
Imax CD Pour On works using a unique vegetable oil based Ivermectin formulation, so it is non-flammable, non-volatile and very safe.

Compared to other pour ons, Imax CD pour on is easy to use! The concentrated dose means large cattle (500kg liveweight) can be dosed with one squeeze of a standard 30ml drench gun.
You only need 25ml for a 500kg animal unlike the 50ml for most other products.

Active Constituent Ivermectin 10mg/mL

Indication For the treatment & control of Ivermectin sensitive internal & external parasites in beef and dairy cattle, including:
Gastro-intestinal roundworms:
Barbers Pole Worm (Haemonchus placei), Hookworm (Bunostomum phlebotomum), Intestinal Threadworm (Strongyloides papillosus), Large Bowel Worm (Oesophagostomum radiatum), Small Intestinal Worm (Cooperia oncophora, Cooperia punctata), Small Brown Stomach Worm (Ostertagia ostertagi) (including inhibited stages), Stomach Hair Worm (Trichostrongylus axei), Thin Necked Intestinal Worm (Nematodirus spathiger) and Whipworm (Trichuris spp.).
Lungworm: Dictyocaulus viviparus.
Sucking and Biting lice: Biting lice (Bovicola bovis), Little sucking lice (Solenopotes capillatus), Long nose sucking lice (Linognathus vituli), and Short nosed sucking lice (Haematopinus eurysternus).
Mites: Chorioptes bovis and Sarcoptes scabiei var bovis).
Buffalo Fly: Haematobia irritans exigua.
Cattle Tick: Boophilus microplus.

Mode of Action Ivermectin is a member of the macrocyclic lactones (anthelmintic family of chemicals) which has a broad spectrum of activity against internal and external parasites.

Dosage and Administration
Dose rate: 1mL/20kg body weight.
Apply along the backline of the animal.

A representative sample of animals should be weighed before treatment either with scales or weight band. Dose rate according to the heaviest animal by live weight in the group (cows, bulls, calves, heifers etc). Do not underdose. Where there is a large variation in size within the group, draft into three or more lines based on body weight, to avoid excessive overdosing.

Maximum tick efficacy is achieved 4-5 days after treatment. In planning a strategic tick control program, it should be noted that viable eggs may have been laid by engorged female ticks that drop from cattle in the initial days after treatment.

Precautions
Resistance may develop to any chemical. Rainfall on the herd within two hours of application may result in reduced efficacy of the product. Cattle should not be treated when the hide or hair is wet since the efficacy of the product may be reduced. Temporary hair loss occasionally occurs along the application site. This resolves without treatment.
Not to be used for any purpose or in any manner contrary to the label unless authorised under appropriate legislation.

Recommended Treatment Program
Pigs.
Consult a veterinarian for a parasite control program appropriate to individual piggery management. The following general principles will apply:
Breeding Animals
At the time of initiating any parasite control program, it is important to treat all animals in the herd. After the initial treatment, use Bomectin™ regularly as follows:
Sows - Treat prior to farrowing, preferably 7 – 14 days before, to minimize infection of piglets.
Gilts - Treat 7 – 14 days prior to breeding. Treat 7 – 14 days prior to farrowing.
Boars - Treat at least twice a year. Frequency of and need for treatments are dependent upon exposure.
Feeder Pigs (Finishers)
All pigs received for finishing should be treated before placement in clean quarters. Pigs exposed to soil may need retreatment if reinfection occurs.
Note: Mange Mites
Bomectin™ has a sustained effect sufficient to control mite infestations throughout the egg to adult life cycle. However, since the ivermectin effect is not immediate, care must be taken to prevent reinfestation from exposure to untreated animals or contaminated facilities. Generally, pigs should not be moved to clean quarters or exposed to uninfested pigs for at least one week after treatment. Sows should be treated at least one week before farrowing to minimize transfer of mites to newborn pigs.
Note: Lice
Louse eggs are unaffected by Bomectin™ and may require up to three weeks to hatch. Louse infestations developing from hatching eggs may require retreatment.
Dosage and Administration
Cattle. 1mL/50kg liveweight (Ivermectin 200 microgram/kg liveweight) by subcutaneous injection in the neck.
Pigs. 1mL/33kg liveweight (Ivermectin 300 microgram/kg liveweight) by subcutaneous injection in the neck.
WITHHOLDING PERIODS:
MEAT: DO NOT USE in pigs or cattle less than 28 days before slaughter for human consumption.
MILK: When milk or milk products are to be used for human consumption DO NOT USE in cows within 28 days prior to calving or during lactation.
EXPORT SLAUGHTER INTERVAL (ESI):
CATTLE: DO NOT SLAUGHTER cattle for export within 42 days of treatment.

Now available to The Farmers Mailbox is this great Aussie made Ivermectin. Identical to other Ivermectin out there but at an unbeatable price! The manufacturer is keen for Australian farmers to save money on pour-on, so they have given it to us at a great price so we can pass it onto you.
Active Constituents: IVERMECTIN 5 mg/mL
Properties: Ivermectin Cattle Pour-on is a ready-to-use solution of ivermectin, a member of
the macrocyclic lactone class of endectocides, which has a unique mode of action. It acts selectively in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite.
Therefore, AUSMECTIN Cattle Pour-on has been used for the control and treatment of ivermectin-sensitive internal and external parasites of cattle.
It is particularly active and useful for controlling gastrointestinal roundworm, lungworm, mange mite, cattle tick and lice infections of cattle.
Ivermectin has a long intrinsic half-life, which provides excellent residual protection
against parasitic reinfestation for a varying period depending on the target parasite and the pharmaceutical nature of the ivermectin formulation.
Ausmectin Cattle Pour-On applied at the recommended dose rate of 500 μg ivermectin/kg bodyweight is indicated for the effective treatment and control of the following harmful parasites of cattle:
gastrointestinal roundworm:

heamatobia irritans exigua
Cattle Tick: Boophilus microplus including organophosphate-. Synthetic pyrethroid- and amidine-resistant strains. Maximum tick efficiency is achieved 4-5 days after treatment. Engorged female ticks that drop from cattle in the initial days after treatment may lay viable eggs. This should be taken into account when planning a strategic tick control program. Ausmectin Cattle Pour-0n should be alternated with conventional dips or pour-ons when the program requires repeat treatments. Do not retreat with Ausmectin Cattle Pour-On in less than the meat withholding period of 42 days.
Persistent Activity: Ausmectin Cattle Pour-On applied at the recommended Dose Rate of 1mL per 10kg bodyweight controls infections or Trichostrongylus Axei (stomach hair worm) and cooperia spp. (small intestinal worm) for up to 14 days after treatment; haematobia irritans exigua (buffalo fly) for up to 21 days after treatment. For best results, Ausmectin Cattle Pour-On should be part of a total parasite control program including internal and external parasites. Consult your veterinarian for complete parasite control program. Dosage: This product is formulated only for external application to cattle; do not use in other species. The formulation should be applied along the topline in a narrow strip extending from the withers to the tailhead.

Why Choose Panacur 25
1. For your white drench rotation
Panacur® contains fenbendazole, a member of the benzimidazole drench family.
2. Controls Susceptible Roundworms
Will control all major internal parasites that are susceptible to a BZ drench. These include barber’s pole worm, small brown stomach worm (including inhibited larvae), black scour worm, small intestinal worm, nodule worm, thin necked intestinal worm, large mouthed bowel worm, large lungworm and whipworm. These worms reduce overall productivity especially in young animals. Weight gains can be reduced by up to 20% and wool growth can be affected signifi cantly. Panacur® 25 also aids in the control of tapeworm.
3. Short Acting
Until now, popular thought has suggested that persistence is a desirable trait in a drench. Some drenches have even promoted their longer persistence as a benefi t or been formulated into capsules to provide long action. There is a sting in the tail however – persistence breeds resistance. A drench with persistence increases the selective pressure for resistance because it continues to kill susceptible worms whilst allowing resistant worms to reproduce. A shorter acting drench like Panacur® 25 is less likely to do this than persistent drenches or drench capsules.
4. Registered for Goats
There are very few drenches registered for use in goats. Panacur® 25 has been used safely by goat producers across Australia for many years, and continues to be one of the more popular drenches used in the goat industry.
5. Very Safe
Panacur® 25 is amongst the safest of all the oral drench formulations available.
6. Ovicidal
Fenbendazole is ovicidal in sheep and goats, ensuring that roundworm eggs passed in the dung are rendered infertile, reducing the potential for further pasture

Colostrum is the first milk produced after birth. It is high in protein much of which is immunoglobulin. Immunoglobulins are a group of proteins with antibody activity that are produced in response to infection by micro-organisms.
The three main classes of immunoglobulins are Immunoglobulin A (IgA), Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM). A few mammals such as rabbits, mice and humans are born with maternal transplacental IgG but not IgA or IgM. However most species are born devoid of immunity and must acquire their initial immunoglobulins from colostrum. For the immunoglobulins in colostrum to function as systemic antibodies they must first be absorbed from the intestine unaltered.

Colostrum contains other proteins such as, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase and lysozyme that have antibacterial activity. These proteins act to inhibit the colonisation of the intestine by pathogenic micro-organisms, and together with low levels of immunoglobulins may remain in the milk throughout lactation. These proteins are usually found in higher concentrations in colostrum and early lactation milk.

Lactoferrin binds iron and facilitates its uptake from the intestine. Due to its iron binding capacity lactoferrin inhibits a wide range of micro-organisms that require iron for growth5,7. When lactoferrin is hydrolysed by gastric enzymes it releases a peptide that is highly bactericidal to several species of pathogenic organisms.

Lactoperoxidase is bacteriostatic to a wide range of bacteria in the presence of thiocyanate and hydrogen peroxide generating enzymes. Lactoperoxidase denatures bacterial proteins by halogenation with hydrogen peroxide and halogens.

Lysozyme is bactericidal to many bacteria. Lysozyme hydrolyses the muramic acid in the cell wall thus causing the cell to lyse. Lysozyme also acts in concert with IgA, lactoperoxidase and ascorbate to lyse bacteria.

In animals other than marsupials, colostral milk is only produced for a short time after birth. During this time ingested antibodies are protected from intestinal digestive enzymes by antiproteinases present in the colostrum. Intestinal closure to the absorption of antibodies occurs as the composition of mammary secretion changes from colostrum to normal milk, when the levels of antibody fall rapidly.

Available in 25g, 50g, 250g, and 500g polylined resealable jars.
