Abstract
- Zoetis has introduced Valcor (doramectin and levamisole injection), the first and only combination endectocide in the United States designed for use against internal and external parasites in cattle. "Valcor offers the unique combination of doramectin and levamisole", said Mark Alley, DVM, MBA, Diplomate, American College of Animal Welfare, and managing veterinarian with Zoetis beef technical services. "In a research study with more than 1,500 head of heifers, Valcor reduced fecal egg count numbers by 99.9% compared to ivermectin at 85%, and the heifers treated with Valcor gained 9.3 pounds more than the ivermectin-treated heifers over 56 days.
