WHY CHOOSE FIRSTMECTIN SE?
Contains abamectin in combination with praziquantel
Abamectin is a potent, short acting member of the macrocyclic lactone (ML) family of drenches. Praziquantel is the only chemical that controls both segments and heads of tapeworm. It makes sense to remove tapeworms to reduce the overall worm burden of your lambs, giving them the best opportunity to achieve peak performance.

Broad spectrum parasite control
FIRSTMECTIN SE is highly effective against abamectin sensitive gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworm, nasal bot and itch mite. It also provides control of tapeworms (heads and segments).

Ideal for lambs
For a young lamb, life is a risky business. They’re vulnerable to cold, predators and worms. As soon as they start to eat pasture, they are developing a worm burden. Unlike older sheep, lambs have not built up their immunity against worms. Worm infections lead to reduced wool production and lower bodyweights in sheep of any age; a high worm burden will have a far bigger impact on young sheep.

Contains selenium
Selenium deficiencies can increase the effect a worm burden can have on animals through suppressing their immune systems. Other problems associated with selenium deficiency are ill thrift, infertility, reduced production (milk, wool and meat), scouring and ‘white muscle’ disease.
