Merial launches Eprinex Multi wormer for cattle, sheep and goats

Merial has announced the launch of Eprinex Multi 5mg/ml Pour-on, a new worm control product for beef and dairy cattle, sheep and goats.

This represents the first licensed zero-milk-withdrawal pour-on wormer to be made available to sheep and goat dairy producers, and allows dairy animals to be treated at the optimal time without the risk of lost milk.

It contains the active ingredient eprinomectin and has been shown to be effective against the adult stages of the major gutworm species affecting sheep and goats, as well as the lungworm Dictyocaulus filaria.

A study conducted by Merial has shown that dairy ewes showed a significant increase in milk yield following treatment with Eprinex Multi, compared to untreated animals.

Sioned Timothy, technical manager for Merial in UK and the Republic of Ireland, said: "Eprinex Multi brings a new, active ingredient to the sheep and goat wormer market, and provides vets and farmers with an additional tool to use alongside good management practices as part of an integrated parasite control strategy."
