XP 820 Insect Tag
Use
XP 820 is a unique, slow-release ear tag for cattle that is the first ever tag to contain abamectin (avermectins B 1a and B1b), a highly active macrocyclic lactone that has never been used before on cattle in the USA. The patented formulation contains a high loading of piper-onyl butoxide which synergizes the abamectin for maximum pesticidal action. XP 820 is particularly effective against horn flies, including strains resistant to synthetic pyrethroid and organophosphate insecticides. XP 820 is also effective against ear ticks, American Dog Ticks, Cattle Fever Ticks (Boophilus species) and Lone Star Ticks. The XP 820 tag has a net weight of 0.32 oz.(9 grams) and a metallic gold color. Controls Horn Flies and Gulf Coast Ticks and aids in control of Spinose Ear Ticks, American Dog Ticks, Cattle Fever Ticks (Boophilus species), Lone Star Ticks, and reduces Face Flies.
