Our old retired vet used to do trials for pfizer and he spent 18 mths developing pour on dectomax for sheep. He got it working and also taking out adult fluke but the licencing cost killed the project

Whilst i agree we need good licencing think its about time we gave grandads rights to some older well used products , Simple things like pink sulphonamide for dosing very young lambs for scour , etc , just not worth the manufactures selling it due to re licencing cost , think sheep calcium no6 came under same issue .
all current rules do is to make us use newer products speeding up resistance and puts money into Elancos pockets

I'm afraid with products like this and the pain relief products Australia has access to we are destined to just become a backwater ag industry unless the BVA starts to realise what commercial farners really need.
