Novartis Acatak 5Lt

Novartis Acatak 5Lt

Acatak contains a powerful insect growth regulator (IGR), fluazuron 25g/L, which interferes with chitin synthesis of the larval stages of the cattle tick. Acatak is a ready-to-use pour-on formulation.

• Acatak is used for the strategic control of the cattle tick, Boophilus microplus (including all known acaricide resistant strains) on beef cattle.
• Acatak breaks the tick life cycle. When treated with Acatak, immature ticks are unable to molt to the next stage of their life cycle, and no larvae will hatch from eggs laid by treated females.
• Acatak not only provides long-term tick protection for cattle (up to 12 weeks*), but it may also help lower the tick burden in pasture.
• *Protection periods may be influenced by the environment (tick pressure) and stock factors (growth rate, lactation), Novartis data on file.
