Eprecis Worming Injection

Eprinomectin for cows
EPRECIS WINS INNOVATION AWARD AT MILLSTREET
with zero milk withhold

Eprecis wins innovation award at Millstreet Dairy Show

Eprecis, the only injectable endectocide for the treatment of internal and external parasites in
dairy and beef animals received an innovation award in the science category at last weekend’s
National Dairy Show in Millstreet. This innovation in science award looks to reward a new
product or service which has been launched in the past 12 months that has revolutionised
some aspect of dairy farming. While Eprecis can be used in dairy and beef animals the critical
advantage is zero milk withdrawal in dairy cows. Eprinomectin is the active ingredient for the
control or treatment of parasites such as lungworms, stomach worms, mites, and lice. Having this
in an injectable form with the zero milk withdrawal requirement will be welcomed by most dairy
farmers. Issues with traditional pour-on parasite control products include reduced bioavailability,
poor absorption rates, weather dependent application and other issues around hygiene and
waste. Eprecis is an injectable product and avoids such issues as with pour-on products. Due to
precise dosing rates it has proven bioavailability of 89% versus 17% in pour-on products. It is
rapidly absorbed to reach peak plasma concentration levels in 2 days versus 4 days. Eprecis is
currently being sold through local co-ops, merchants, and veterinary practices and is available in
100ml and 250ml shatterproof CLAS vial. John Maher from Pharvet had the job of detailing the
product to the judges.
