Tips for Best Results
- Weigh animals accurately using scales — never guess body weight. Dosing to the heaviest animal in each mob group is essential to avoid under-dosing, which is a key driver of drench resistance.
- Levamisole is a clear (L) drench. As WormBoss advises, resistance to individual drench classes is widespread across Australia. Where possible, rotate drench classes between treatments and consider combination drenching strategies based on local resistance data — talk to your vet or animal health advisor for a plan suited to your property.
- WormBoss recommends maintaining a proportion of animals in refugia (untreated worms on pasture) to slow the development of drench resistance. Avoid treating every animal on the property at once unless a clinical situation demands it — leaving low-risk animals undrenched helps dilute resistant worm populations on your pasture.
- Store Kilverm in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and animals. Keep a drenching record for each mob — note the date, product used, dose rate, animal group, and any post-drench observations. Good records support resistance monitoring and help you track the effectiveness of your worm management program over time.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.
