Parasiticides

Our expertise with parasites and parasiticides is recognised worldwide.

We have a long and respected record of studies, both in support of RD&E (research, development and extension) programmes and regulated product submissions.

Above all, we are committed to animal welfare and excellence in veterinary science.

Our work is wide-ranging and includes:

Endoparasite targeted studies

Sheep

• Dose confirmation of a novel anthelmintic combo against  Nematodirus battus
• Dose confirmation of a novel anthelmintic combo against immature nematodes
• Dose confirmation of a novel anthelmintic combo against naturally acquired gastrointestinal nematodes
• Dose confirmation of a novel anthelmintic combo administered to helminth-naive sheep harbouring larval stages of susceptible nematodes
• Dose confirmation of a novel anthelmintic combo administered to sheep harbouring anthelmintic-resistant nematodes
• Field safety and anthelmintic efficacy of a novel anthelmintic combo

Cattle

• Efficacy of a novel anthelmintic against resistant strains of  Cooperia oncophora and  Haemonchus contortus
• Safety and efficacy of an anthelmintic combination pour-on against F. hepatica and  Cooperia oncophora in cattle

Pigs

• Safety and efficacy of in-feed anthelmintics against artificial infection  Ascaris suum  in fattening pigs

Chickens and Pheasants

• Efficacy of an anthelmintic against natural infections of nematodes
• Efficacy of in-feed and in-water anti-coccidials in turkeys in a commercial setting

Horses

• Anthelmintic efficacy in horses

Ectoparasite targeted studies

Sheep

• Efficacy of an endectocide against natural sheep scab infestation

Horses
