Dictyocaulus viviparus | 35 |
Bunostomum phlebotomum | 22 |
Oesophagostomum radiatum | 21 |

To obtain optimal benefits from the action of DORAMAX Solution for Injection, it is recommended that cattle which are set-stocked should be treated at turnout and eight weeks later. Studies have demonstrated that, used in this way, DORAMAX will reduce the build-up of infective larvae on pasture and can protect animals from parasitic gastro-enteritis and parasitic bronchitis throughout the grazing season. To obtain these results, all animals must be included in the programme and untreated cattle must not be introduced on the pasture. Treated cattle should always be monitored according to good husbandry practices. Treatment with DORAMAX Solution for Injection at turnout and eight weeks later of cattle set-stocked for the grazing season can protect against clinical disease caused by lungworm and may allow the development of naturally acquired immunity. However, due to the unpredictable nature of lungworm epidemiology, clinical signs of lungworm disease may on occasion be seen, particularly towards the end of the grazing season, if the
season is long. If this occurs, cattle should be further treated with an
anthelmintic effective against lungworm.
