Short meat withholding period (14 days) and export slaughter interval (35 days) are key benefits
Field trials conducted in Australia demonstrate the high efficacy of StrikeForce-S over a 24 week period.1
Containing dicycanil, the most effective active for prevention of blowfly strike on sheep.
Field trials conducted demonstrate the high efficacy of StrikeForce-S over a 18 week period.1
The unique StrikeForce-S patented formulation, along with the natural waterproofing properties of lanolin, allows the solution’s lipophilic components to bind to the fleece, resulting in the active staying in the fleece during periods of rainfall. This means that dicyclanil stays on the sheep, protecting it from blowfly strike, for up to 18 – 24 weeks. Extensive trials in both real life and simulated rainfall testing have demonstrated high concentrations of dicyclanil in the lanolin

Short meat withholding period (14 days) and export slaughter interval (35 days) are key benefits of the StrikeForce-S solution.
The short meat WHP and ESI mean that market options remain open, giving farmers peace of mind and an ability to supply on short notice.
StrikeForce-S can be applied to sheep with any length wool up to 3 months before shearing or fibre collection.
As a result, farmers can use the same product on all classes of stock, on any length wool with fly strike protection lasting up to 18 -24 weeks.
These young animals are the future of your flock, and often have superior genetics to older sheep. Ensuring healthy ewe lambs are available to replace older ewes can help to progress the genetics in your flock as a whole. For prime lamb enterprises, lambs are the lifeblood of the farm, and a healthy and productive lamb flock will reach market weights sooner and will improve your farm’s bottom line.
Effective prevention of fly strike in lambs is crucial to ensure the productivity of both prime lamb and wool enterprises.
