Which nematodes and parasite stages may be targeted by ICURE Strong?
ICURE Strong targets gastrointestinal nematodes, pulmonary nematodes, Ostertagia, and Oestrus ovis (nasal bot), as specified on the label.
How can it help manage parasites such as Ostertagia and Oestrus ovis?
Ivermectin causes paralysis and death of susceptible nematodes and larvae, reducing worm burden and associated clinical signs.
Which sheep and large animals can receive ICURE Strong?
