Yes EPRINEX Multi Pour-On can be used in lactating cows and has a zero milk withdrawal so can be used at any stage of lactation.
EPRINEX Multi should be applied along the backline in a narrow strip extending from the withers to the tailhead. The dose should be measured using the measuring cup supplied or using an appropriate applicator gun. It is recommended to double check the calibration of these every time you apply the product.
Treatment around the time of calving will remove a cow’s gut worm burden and protect against re-infection during early lactation, optimising feed intake and energy balance during the transition period. The lactation-long benefits of removing gut worm at this time have been demonstrated, with cows shown to produce up to 2 litres more milk each day for the entire lactation1,2.

Whilst all efforts should be taken to treat cattle under optimal conditions, clinical evidence has demonstrated that EPRINEX Multi Pour-On is rainfast. In cattle, rainfall before, during or after the application of the product has been shown to have no impact on its efficacy. It has also been demonstrated that haircoat length has no impact on the product’s efficacy1,2.

The MOO Test (Milk Ostertagia ostertagi ELISA) is a useful diagnostic tool in dairy herds. Where the level of exposure is determined to be high, Ostertagia is likely to be having a significant impact on productivity, and treatment of the herd is likely to yield an improvement in milk production.
