Preventing coccidia & worms with a dual active oral drench
A world first anthelmintic-anticoccidial combination for cattle, containing eprinomectin, levamisole and diclazuril with selenium and cobalt.
Turbo Initial is an oral drench to be used as the first treatment in the Turbo parasite control programme. It is designed for the transition period after a calf has been weaned off meal and on to pasture as its sole source of nutrition. Due to stress and undeveloped immunity during this period animals are very susceptible to parasitism from both gastrointestinal parasites and coccidiosis. In most cases calves will have been weaned off a meal containing a coccidiostat. The removal of the coccidiostat can result in a growth check while the animal’s immunity to coccidia infection is developing.
A treatment with Turbo Initial after weaning results in highly effective control of gastrointestinal roundworms and lungworm. It also helps treat coccidiosis and reduces pasture infection by coccidia oocysts. It bridges the gap between the removal of a coccidiostat in meal and the development of natural immunity to coccidia infection.
New Zealand studies with Turbo Initial show the product is highly effective at controlling gastrointestinal roundworms and lungworms with efficacy levels over 98% against all species tested. The product also aids in the treatment of coccidiosis. New Zealand studies show that a treatment with Turbo Initial will significantly reduce oocyst shedding in calves for up to 70 days after treatment. This results in reduced environmental contamination and therefore less coccidia challenge in treated animals.
Indications: For the effective treatment and control of susceptible strains of the following species of gastrointestinal parasites and lungworm.
Gastrointestinal nematodes: For the treatment and control of the following mature and immature gastrointestinal parasites (*includes inhibited fourth stage larvae).
Barbers pole worm (Haemonchus contortus), Stomach hair worm (Trichostrongylus axei), Small brown stomach worm* (Ostertagia ostertagi), Small intestinal worm (Cooperia oncophora), Thread-necked intestinal worms (Nematodirus helvetianus, Nematodirus spathiger), Intestinal threadworm (Strongyloides papillosus), Cattle hookworm (Bunostomum phlebotomum), Nodule worm (Oesophagostomum radiatum), Large- mouthed bowel worm - adults (Chabertia spp.), Whipworm - adults (Trichuris spp.).
Lungworm: Dictyocaulus viviparus
Coccidia: Aids in the control of coccidiosis and in reducing oocyst shedding in calves infected with susceptible strains of the coccidia: Eimeria bovis and/or Eimeria zuernii.
Turbo Initial is recommended for use only where veterinary diagnosis has identified calves are infected with both internal parasites and coccidia. Administer once as a single oral treatment.
The presence of worm parasites and coccidia in the herd should be confirmed by farm history, faecal sampling and laboratory testing.
PRODUCT BENEFITS:
World first dual active anthelmintic with the addition of an anticoccidial.
Treats roundworm infections and lungworm as well as aids in the control of coccidiosis in one convenient dose.
Includes supplemental source of cobalt and selenium
Effective against resistant worm strains, including those resistant to both macrocyclic lactones and levamisole.
More effective at delaying worm parasite resistance than single active products
Helps to control coccidiosis by removing the parasites already present in the gut and reducing environmental contamination by limiting oocyst excretion. In New Zealand studies oocyst excretion was significantly reduced for up to 70 days after treatment when compared to untreated controls.
Does not interfere with the normal development of immunity by the calf to coccidiosis(1)
High safety margin. Unlike oral combination drenches containing abamectin, Turbo Initial can be used in calves less than 120kg live weight.
