Abstract:
An extended-release injection, which is administered at a rate of 1 mg eprinomectin/kg body weight, has been developed to provide up to 150 days control of parasites of cattle. The product can facilitate the achievement of two of the fundamental aims of parasite control. The first is protection of the host against the negative impact of susceptible parasites in order to ensure control of disease and to enhance performance. The second is to reduce parasite transmission and hence the challenge to animals when grazing. In addition, farmers and veterinarians can benefit from high levels of convenience and hence compliance from a single administration, which also limits handling stress in the cattle. This introductory paper provides some perspective on the practical applications for this extended-release product under various husbandry systems and in different classes of cattle and discusses its role in sustainable parasite control.
