Why use an injection over a pour-on?
- Injections are the most reliable way to maximise the effect of the active ingredient
- Injections guarantee the active ingredient is delivered rapidly and in high concentration
- With injections, factors such as skin and coat thickness, spillage of product and weather do not affect dosage

Infection: Gut Worm Symptoms: Diarrhoea, decreased appetite, loss of weight Effects: Gutworm can cause severe damage to the stomach and small intestine which will cause parasitic gastroenteritis, this will not only negatively affect the health of the animal but will affect the profitability for the farmer. |
Infection: Lungworm Symptoms: Short, sharp cough that becomes worse with exercise, in severe cases the animal will have obvious difficulty breathing. Effects: Lungworm infections cause a high susceptibility to respiratory viruses and bacteria. Infected cattle are prone to contracting severe bronchial pneumonia which if left untreated can lead to death. |
