Fasinex fluckicide to target dairy cows

A special formulation of Fasinex fluckicide for use in dairy cows has been launched on the Irish market.

The licence followed on from a successful application to the EU Commission for a maximum residue limit for triclabendazole (the active ingredient in Fasinex), against which residue concentrations could be evaluated.

Novartis then carried out a study on milk residues in pregnant dry cows after Fasinex 240 was given 28 to 42 days before the calculated calving date.
