ASCACID 10% 1 Litre Albendazole For Bovine

Ascacid 10% 1L (Albendazole) | Concentrated Cattle & Calf Dewormer Drench

Maximize the health and productivity of your herd with Ascacid 10%, a professional-grade, high-concentration anthelmintic drench. Formulated with a powerful 10% w/v Albendazole, this oral suspension is specifically designed for the comprehensive parasite control in beef and dairy cattle. The concentrated formula means a lower dose volume per animal, making treatment faster, more efficient, and less stressful for your livestock, while delivering uncompromising efficacy against the most economically damaging internal parasites.

The Ascacid 10% Advantage: Concentrated Power

The primary benefit of Ascacid 10% lies in its high concentration. Compared to standard 2.5% formulations, it offers significant advantages for modern cattle operations:

• Lower Dose Volume: Treat animals with a smaller, more manageable amount of liquid. A 500kg animal requires just 37.5ml for a standard dose, reducing the chance of spitting out and ensuring full treatment delivery.
• Increased Efficiency: Administer treatment more quickly down the race, saving valuable time and labor.
• Cost-Effective: The 1-litre bottle provides a high number of treatments, offering an excellent return on investment for herd-level deworming programs.
• Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: One product provides comprehensive control over a wide range of roundworms, lungworms, tapeworms, and the adult stage of liver fluke.

 How Albendazole Works to Protect Your Herd

Albendazole, the active ingredient in Ascacid 10%, is a proven member of the benzimidazole (1-BZ) class of dewormers. It works by attacking the parasite’s cellular structure and energy metabolism. By inhibiting a key protein called tubulin, it stops the parasite’s ability to absorb vital nutrients. This leads to energy depletion, paralysis, and death, after which the parasites are naturally expelled from the animal’s system. Critically, Albendazole also has an ovicidal effect, killing worm eggs and helping to reduce pasture contamination.

Unrivaled Spectrum of Control in Cattle

Ascacid 10% is indicated for the treatment and control of the following mature and developing immature stages of key bovine parasites:

• Gastrointestinal Roundworms (Stomach & Gut Worms):
  • Barber’s Pole Worm: (Haemonchus placei)
  • Brown Stomach Worm: (Ostertagia ostertagi), including inhibited Type II Ostertagiasis larvae.
  • Small Intestinal Worm: (Cooperia spp.)
  • Bankrupt Worm / Black Scour Worm: (Trichostrongylus spp.)
  • Nodular Worm: (Oesophagostomum radiatum)
  • Hookworm: (Bunostomum phlebotomum)
• Lungworms:
  • Highly effective against adult and immature stages of Dictyocaulus viviparus, the primary cause of “husk” or parasitic bronchitis in cattle.
• Tapeworms:
  • Controls both heads (scolices) and segments of Moniezia spp..
• Adult Liver Fluke:
  • Provides effective control of adult Fasciola hepatica, reducing egg output and subsequent pasture contamination.

Dosage and Administration for Optimal Results

CRITICAL: Use a properly calibrated drenching gun. Under-dosing can lead to ineffective treatment and promote anthelmintic resistance. Always estimate animal weight accurately.

Administer orally, ensuring the drenching gun nozzle is placed over the back of the tongue.

Critical Withdrawal Periods & Safety Information

Adherence to withdrawal times is a legal requirement and essential for food safety.

• Meat and Offal: Animals must not be slaughtered for human consumption for 14 days following the last treatment.
• Milk: Milk intended for human consumption must be discarded for 60 hours following the last treatment.
• Safety Precautions:
  • Shake container well before use.
  • To prevent potential teratogenic effects, avoid use during the first 45 days of gestation. Consult your vet for use in breeding bulls or during early pregnancy.
  • Wash hands after use.

A Partner in Sustainable Parasite Control

Effective parasite management goes beyond a single treatment. To ensure the long-term efficacy of Ascacid 10% and other dewormers, incorporate it into a strategic herd health plan developed with your veterinarian. This includes rotating chemical classes, using faecal egg counts (FECs) to monitor burdens, and managing pasture to minimize parasite exposure.
