Acatak Duostar is a pour-on formulation containing the tick development inhibitor fluazuron and the broad spectrum anti-parasitic, ivermectin.
Acatak Duostar is used for the strategic control of fluazuron-sensitive cattle tick (Rhipicephalus microplus) on beef cattle.
It also treats and controls ivermectin-sensitive internal and external parasites of beef cattle, including gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworm, sucking and biting lice, sarcoptic and chorioptic mites and buffalo fly.
Benefits:
Acatak Duostar controls a wide range of internal and external parasites in a single, ready-to-use, pour-on formulation for beef cattle.
It combines two modes of action for knockdown and residual control of fluazuron-susceptible ticks, including strains resistant to organophosphates, synthetic pyrethroids and amidines, as well as ivermectin-sensitive parasites.
Applied early in the season as part of a strategic control program, Acatak Duostar helps to minimise the build-up of the tick population on cattle and pastures.
Acatak Duostar has two proven modes of action to help mitigate the risk of resistance developing and prolong the life of all available chemistry.
