Resistance to older drench classes used in cattle, including the benzimidazole (BZ or ‘white’), levamisole (LEV or ‘clear’) and macrocyclic lactone (ML or ‘mectin’) chemical families, has been reported in major worm species in Australia.(5-7) Zolvix Plus is ideal for use as a rotation partner in drenching programs because it contains a novel mode of action in combination with abamectin. The use of drenches containing two or more active ingredients can maximise efficacy and help to prolong the life of all available chemistry.(8)

Purchased cattle or those returning from agistment can introduce resistant worm populations onto your property. Best practice guidelines recommend treating all introduced cattle using a drench that contains as many unrelated – and preferably novel – active ingredients as possible.(9) Zolvix Plus should be an essential component of any quarantine drench program because it contains monepantel, a novel active ingredient that provides fully-effective, broad spectrum control of the most important worm species in young cattle.

Young cattle are most susceptible to parasite burdens. Zolvix Plus provides fully-effective, broad spectrum control of key worm species, meaning it is particularly suitable for use in worm control programs for beef cattle at weaning and in worm control programs for replacement dairy heifers. It can be administered to beef and dairy calves more than 100 kg liveweight and at least 16 weeks of age.

Zolvix Plus is administered as an oral treatment using the Zolvix Plus 30 mL Cattle Oral Drencher. It is generally accepted that oral treatments can provide more effective control of worms than injectable formulations and more effective and reliable control of worms than pour-on formulations.(10-11) With a Meat Withholding Period of 12 days and an Export Slaughter Interval of 61 days when used in cattle, the use of Zolvix Plus will have minimal impact on management or marketing options.
