Why Choose Larvadex™?
Larvadex 1% Feed Premix is the foundation of any 'No Fly Zone' program in poultry production. It is added to the feed and fed to birds normally in the shed. After metabolism, the active ingredient is left behind in the poultry manure, where it works to disrupt the development of larvae (maggots) present in the litter1-3.
Can be used in broilers, breeders and layers
Contains cyromazine, an insect growth regulator that interferes with chitin metabolism at all 3 larval stages of the fly (larvicidal)
Convenient in-feed larvicide
