Tips for Best Results
- Weigh accurately, every time. Use a weigh scale or well-calibrated crush scale — never guess liveweight. Underdosing accelerates resistance and reduces efficacy, while overdosing wastes product and money.
- Understand BZ resistance risks. Fenbendazole is a Benzimidazole (BZ / white drench) — the drench class with the longest history of use in Australia and the one most commonly associated with resistance in cattle worm populations. Before using, consider conducting a DrenchCheck or DrenchTest (faecal egg count reduction test) to confirm BZ drenches are still effective on your property. Rotate drench classes and consider combination drenches where resistance is a concern.
- Leave refugia — don't drench every animal every time. WormBoss principles highlight that maintaining a proportion of untreated animals (refugia) on pasture helps dilute resistant worm populations with susceptible ones, slowing the development of resistance across your herd or mob. Work with your local vet or advisor to build a refugia-based program suited to your Queensland conditions.
- Store correctly and keep records. Store below 30°C, out of direct sunlight, and keep the container tightly sealed. Record the date, product used, batch number, animals treated, and withholding period in your property health records — essential for compliance and traceback. Contact TGRM on (07) 5482 1692 if you need advice on setting up a worm management program.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.
