New weapon in the fight against worms

Elanco has launched a new cattle and sheep wormer, branded Zearl.

Available as an injectable solution for sheep and a pour-on for cattle, Zearl contains Doramectin as its active substance.

Zearl can be used for the treatment and control of gastrointestinal nematodes, lungworms, eyeworms, warbles, sucking lice, mange mites and ticks in cattle.

Elanco recommends that set-stocked cattle be treated at turn-out and eight weeks later, to reduce build-up of infective larvae on pasture and protect animals from parasitic gastroenteritis and parasitic bronchitis throughout the grazing season.

In sheep, Zearl can be used for the treatment and control of gastrointestinal roundworms, mange mites and nasal bots. The new product will also treat the clinical signs of sheep scab.
