Vermitan 10% (Albendazole) 1L – Professional High-Concentration Anthelmintic Drench

Elevate your herd and flock health management with Vermitan 10%, a professional-grade, broad-spectrum oral dewormer. This powerful formulation contains a high concentration of 10% w/v Albendazole, specifically designed for the effective and efficient treatment of internal parasites in cattle and sheep. The concentrated nature of Vermitan 10% allows for a lower dose volume per animal, ensuring a faster, less stressful treatment process while delivering the potent efficacy needed to protect your livestock and your bottom line.

The Vermitan 10% Advantage: Why Concentration Matters

For the modern livestock operation, efficiency is key. Vermitan 10% is formulated to meet this need:

• Low-Volume, High-Impact Dosing: Administer a smaller, more manageable quantity of drench to each animal. This reduces the likelihood of product rejection (spitting) and ensures the full therapeutic dose is delivered.
• Time and Labor Savings: Faster drenching of each animal means you can process your entire herd or flock more quickly, optimizing your time and labor resources.
• Complete Parasite Control: A single, reliable product for managing the most economically damaging gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, tapeworms, and adult liver flukes.
• Ovicidal Action for Cleaner Pastures: Albendazole is known to be ovicidal, meaning it kills worm eggs. This helps to break the parasite lifecycle and reduce the level of pasture contamination, leading to healthier grazing for your animals.

 The Science Behind Vermitan: How Albendazole Works

Vermitan’s power lies in its active ingredient, Albendazole, a trusted member of the benzimidazole (1-BZ) class of anthelmintics. It works by targeting the parasite’s cellular metabolism. Albendazole binds to a protein called beta-tubulin, which disrupts the formation of microtubules within the parasite’s cells. This prevents the parasite from absorbing essential nutrients like glucose, leading to energy depletion, paralysis, and ultimately, death. The dead parasites are then safely expelled from the host animal’s body.

 Comprehensive Spectrum of Activity

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

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

 Dosage and Administration for Optimal Performance

CRITICAL: Use a properly calibrated oral drenching gun. Under-dosing is a primary driver of anthelmintic resistance. Always estimate animal weight as accurately as possible.

Directions: Shake the 1-litre container thoroughly before use. Administer orally as a drench.
