This high-concentration formula contains 10% w/v Albendazole in a ready-to-use oral suspension, specifically developed for the comprehensive treatment of internal parasites in cattle (bovini) and sheep (ovini). The potent 10% formula allows for a lower dose volume, making administration faster and more effective, while delivering powerful results against a wide range of economically damaging parasites.

The Dufalben 10% Advantage: Maximum Power, Minimum Volume

The high concentration of Dufalben 10% is its key feature, offering significant operational benefits for today’s farmer:

• Low-Volume Dosing: The 10% concentration means you administer a smaller, more manageable dose per animal compared to standard 2.5% drenches. This reduces product waste and ensures a full therapeutic dose is delivered.
• Faster, Efficient Treatment: Less time spent drenching each animal means you can process your herd or flock more quickly, saving valuable labor and reducing animal stress.
• Comprehensive Parasite Control: A single, trusted product to manage gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, tapeworms, and adult liver fluke, simplifying your parasite control inventory.
• Ovicidal Effect: Albendazole is proven to kill worm eggs, helping to break the lifecycle of parasites and reduce pasture contamination for healthier, cleaner grazing.

Mechanism of Action: How Albendazole Defeats Parasites

Dufalben’s active ingredient, Albendazole, is a powerful member of the benzimidazole (BZ) class of dewormers. It works by interfering with the parasite’s energy metabolism. It binds to a protein called beta-tubulin, disrupting the parasite’s cellular structure and its ability to absorb essential nutrients like glucose. This targeted attack starves the parasite, leading to paralysis and death, after which it is safely expelled from the host animal.

Unmatched Spectrum of Efficacy

Dufalben 10% is indicated for the treatment and control of the following mature and developing immature stages of parasites in cattle and sheep:

• Gastrointestinal Roundworms (Stomach & Gut Worms):
  • Haemonchus, Ostertagia, Trichostrongylus, Cooperia, Nematodirus, Bunostomum, and Oesophagostomum spp.
  • It is also effective against inhibited larval stages of Ostertagia spp. (Type II Ostertagiasis) in cattle.
• Lungworms:
  • Highly effective against adult and immature stages of Dictyocaulus spp. (the cause of husk or parasitic bronchitis).
• Tapeworms:
  • Controls both heads (scolices) and segments of Moniezia spp..
• Adult Liver Fluke:
  • Provides effective treatment and control of adult Fasciola hepatica, reducing the output of fluke eggs onto pasture.
