Frequently asked
- How can I know if my cattle or buffalo may have a worm burden?
- Poor body condition, reduced appetite, dull coat, digestive disturbances, weakness and reduced productivity can be associated with parasitic infestation. A veterinarian can help identify the likely cause.
- How do internal & external parasites affect dairy animal performance?
- Internal parasites can interfere with nutrient absorption and utilization, leading to poor body condition, reduced growth, weakness and lower milk production. External parasites such as ticks, lice and mites can cause irritation, blood loss, skin damage and stress. Heavy infestations can also affect immunity, reproductive performance, and overall productivity.
- What is the Mode of Action of Albendazole & Ivermectin?
- Albendazole: Binds to β-tubulin in susceptible parasites, disrupting microtubule formation and glucose utilization. This depletes the parasite's energy reserves, eventually leading to immobilization and death. Ivermectin: Binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels in the parasite's nerve and muscle cells. This increases chloride-ion influx, causing hyperpolarization, paralysis and eventual death of the parasite.
- What is the advantage of micronised albendazole?
- Micronisation reduces the particle size of albendazole, increasing its surface area and improving its dissolution. This can support better absorption and bioavailability compared with conventional larger-particle albendazole.
