Good products are products that are backed by solid research and when it comes to Animal Health products, not all products are created equal.


For this reason, over the next several weeks we will be providing very brief summaries of products we stock and their benefits to animal health.


Eprinex

Active ingredient:        Eprinomectin


Benefits based on NZ & international trial data:

  •  Eprinex is the ONLY product with a scientific trial, conducted independently by veterinarians at Massey University (2017), to show a significant increase in milk solids following treatment

  • Milk solids will increase on average by 0.03 kg/cow/day following an Eprinex treatment, compared to no treatment. That’s 8.22 kg MS/cow/lactation (days in milk - 274 days)

    • 8.22 kg MS/cow/lactation is $72.57/cow extra at a $9.50 payout

    • Herd treatment cost approx. $5/cow

  • Only Eprinex has been shown in scientific studies to improve reproductive performance

    • A study showed that treating with Eprinex at calving reduced calving to conception in heifers by 12.9 days. There was a 52% increase in pregnancy rate at first insemination in heifers and 16.6% increase in adult cows, which equates to a 19.9% increase in pregnancy rate overall


Product information:

  • Nil milk and meat withhold

  • Dose rate is 1ml/10kg pour-on

  • Will have the biggest return when given around calving


For further information call the clinic to discuss with a veterinarian
