Trifecta Triple Active Drench for Sheep and Cattle is a triple drench that defends sheep and cattle against drench resistance.
Trifecta contains three (3) different active ingredients to kill worms.
Even if a worm population is resistant to one active, the others will kill it.
As a result, triple combination drenches are recognised as a very effective tool in long-term drench strategies.
Trifecta Triple Active Drench for Sheep and Cattle is for the treatment and control of internal parasites of sheep, including those resistant to Macrocyclic Lactone (ML), Benzimidazole (BZ) or Levamisole (LEV) drench families.
Trifecta Triple Active Drench for Sheep and Cattle is for treating and controlling internal parasites of cattle, including those resistant to the Macrocyclic Lactone (ML) drench family.
Trifecta Triple Active Drench for Sheep and Cattle is used to supplement diets that may be deficient in selenium and cobalt.
Trifecta for Cattle:
Trifecta Triple Active Drench can be used on cattle over 100kg and over 16 weeks of age to treat and control internal parasites, including those resistant to ML (Macrocyclic Lactone) drench families.
Trifecta is an ideal strategic drench for cattle producers to use:
When introducing any new stock to the property.
As a weaning drench.
When routine worm egg counts indicate, drenching is required.
As an ‘exit’ or ‘tail-cutter’ drench, where a long-acting drench has been used, and it is close to the end of the product’s period of persistent activity (or sooner where worm egg counts indicate drenching is required)
Treatment of Adult gastrointestinal roundworms in cattle:
Barber’s Pole Worm

Trifecta for Sheep:
Trifecta Triple Active Drench can be used on sheep over 15kg and over 6 weeks of age to treat and control internal parasites, including those:
Resistant to ML (Macrocyclic Lactone) drench families.
Resistant to BZ (Benzimidazole) drench families.
Resistant to LEV (Levamisole) drench families.
Trifecta is an ideal strategic drench for sheep products to use:

Tips for Best Results
- Weigh animals accurately — never estimate liveweight. Dosing to the heaviest animal in the group is essential to avoid under-dosing, which contributes directly to drench resistance developing on your property.
- Macrocyclic Lactone (ML) resistance is widespread in Queensland — Trifecta's triple-active combination means that even if worms on your place are resistant to the ML component, the BZ and LEV actives provide additional kill. This makes triple combinations a valuable tool in slowing the spread of resistance, but they are not a silver bullet — resistance testing (drench efficacy testing or WormTest) is still strongly recommended.
- Preserve refugia — WormBoss principles emphasise the importance of maintaining a proportion of worms in refugia (unexposed to drench) to dilute resistant genetics on your property. Avoid drenching every animal at every opportunity; use worm egg counts to guide treatment decisions and consider leaving low-risk animals undrenched where appropriate.
- Store correctly and keep records — store Trifecta as directed on the label, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Keep accurate treatment records including dates, animals treated, batch numbers, and withholding periods to support your property's parasite management plan and meet market assurance requirements.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.

Common Questions
What animals is Trifecta suitable for?
Trifecta Triple Active Drench is formulated for both sheep and cattle. For sheep, it can be used on animals over 15 kg and over 6 weeks of age. For cattle, it is suitable for animals over 100 kg and over 16 weeks of age. Always check the product label for full eligibility details before use.
What internal parasites does Trifecta treat?
Trifecta is designed to treat and control a range of gastrointestinal roundworms in both sheep and cattle, including Barber's Pole Worm, Brown Stomach Worm, Stomach Hair Worm, Black Scour Worm, Small Intestinal Worm, Thin Necked Intestinal Worm, and Hookworm, among others. For a complete list of target parasites and resistance profiles, refer to the product label.
Why is Trifecta called a "triple active" drench?
Trifecta contains three different active ingredients that work against worms in different ways. This triple combination means that even if a worm population has developed resistance to one active ingredient, the others are still likely to be effective. This makes it a strong tool for managing drench resistance in the long term.
Does Trifecta provide nutritional support?
Yes, Trifecta also helps to supplement diets that may be deficient in selenium and cobalt. This can be particularly valuable during periods when stock nutrition may be compromised.
