University studies have proven that internal parasites can cause a suppressed immune response.

• Parasites interfere with the animal's ability to develop an adequate immune response to vaccination.
• And respiratory and reproductive diseases create significant costs in lost opportunity for the beef industry.
• Animals affected by these conditions suffers from poor performance, higher costs, reduced gain, and in some cases, lower quality.
• Additional costs from death loss and medical expenses reduce the bottom line. Parasite and disease programs help prevent sickness and poor performance.
• Internal and external parasite control is an important aspect of the Merial® SureHealth Program.
• In the SureHealth program, parasite control, immunization and preconditioning steps are done by the producer and documented by a participating veterinarian.
• One of Merial's leading parasiticide products is IVOMEC EPRINEX.
• IVOMEC EPRINEX is easy to apply and goes right to work.

ANIMAL SAFETY

Tolerance and toxicity studies have demonstrated the margin of safety for eprinomectin in cattle. In toxicity studies, application of 3 times the recommended dose had no adverse effects on neonatal calves, and application of up to 5 times the recommended dose 3 times at 7 day intervals had no adverse effects on 8 week old calves. In the tolerance study, one of 6 cattle treated once at 10 times the recommended dose showed clinical signs of mydriasis. Application of 3 times the recommended dose had no adverse effect on breeding performance of cows or bulls.

Residue Warnings: When used according to label directions, neither a pre-slaughter drug withdrawal period nor a milk discard time is required, therefore, meat and milk from cattle treated with EPRINEX (eprinomectin) Pour-On may be used for human consumption at any time following treatment. A withdrawal period has not been established for pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal.

When to Treat Cattle with Grubs

EPRINEX Pour-On is highly effective against all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season. While this is not peculiar to eprinomectin, destruction of Hypoderma larvae (cattle grubs) at the period when these grubs are in vital areas may cause undesirable host-parasite reactions. Killing Hypoderma lineatum when it is in the esophageal tissues may cause bloat; killing H. bovis when it is in the vertebral canal may cause staggering or paralysis. Cattle should be treated either before or after these stages of grub development.

Cattle treated with EPRINEX Pour-On at the end of the fly season may be re-treated with EPRINEX Pour-On during the winter without danger of grub-related reactions. For further information and advice on a planned parasite control program, consult your veterinarian.
