Cattle
Healthy Cattle Are Productive Cattle
Cattle are one of the major livestock species and an important economic commodity in Australia, producing a substantial amount of meat and milk for both export and domestic sale. We are the world’s second largest exporter of beef and Australian’s spend a a significant amount on beef every year.
Australian cattle are exposed to numerous internal and external parasites, which can drastically affect their well being and overall farm productivity. When you consider the vast amount of Australian properties running substantial numbers of cattle, it’s easy to see how productivity and parasite control become major agricultural issues.
Cattle Producers' Needs
Australian producers raise cattle to supply healthy and nutritious beef and milk. In today’s national and global food market, cattle producers face many challenges to provide these products at good prices. Parasite control is one area that seriously impacts the welfare of their cattle and the productivity of their business.
Novartis Animal Health strives to respond to producers’ needs by creating parasiticides and on-farm support services to meet cattle health challenges.
We are passionately committed to creating animal health products and services for cattle producers. In Australia and New Zealand, the trusted FASINEX® brands are used to control liver fluke infections. Producers also widely use ACATAK® which treats and prevents tick infestations, as well as ACATAK® DuoStar, which has the added benefits of a broad spectrum antiparasitic to control intestinal worms.
Novartis has a proven record of parasite treatment success within the Australian market, and indeed the world.
