In stock
Protect your herd and maximise productivity with Dectomax® Pour-On Endectocide. It is now available in a 5L backpack from Farmco, your local livestock supply specialist. Designed for Australian conditions, this broad-spectrum parasiticide offers long-lasting protection against internal and external parasites in cattle. Its easy-to-use topical application makes parasite control simple and effective for all stock classes and ages.
Dectomax Pour-On contains doramectin at 5 mg/mL, a highly effective endectocide known for extended activity. This powerful ingredient provides long-lasting protection, reducing treatment frequency and improving herd productivity.
Dectomax Pour-On targets parasites that impact herd health and performance the most. It provides persistent activity for up to 35 days against the five major gastrointestinal worms, including Ostertagia ostertagi, Haemonchus placei, and Cooperia spp. It also controls buffalo flies for up to 14 days. Additionally, it fights lungworms, sucking and biting lice, mange mites, cattle ticks, and eye worms.
Dosing is simple — apply 1 mL per 10 kg bodyweight along the mid-line of the back. The pour-on formulation avoids injections and reduces stress on livestock. Dectomax is safe for calves, pregnant cows, and breeding bulls thanks to its wide safety margin.
Dectomax Pour-On has a nil milk withholding period, making it ideal for dairy cattle at dry-off. It has a 42-day meat withholding period and a 42-day export slaughter interval (ESI) for meat production. This ensures peace of mind when managing slaughter timelines.
Dectomax Pour-On remains effective even if the animal’s coat is wet during application. While best applied to dry hides, the formulation resists rainfall shortly after treatment — a key benefit in unpredictable Australian weather.
Developed by Zoetis, a global leader in animal health, Dectomax Pour-On for Cattle 5L carries over 75 years of innovation and veterinary expertise. When you buy from Farmco, you invest in a healthier, more productive herd — not just a drench.
