Overview
What is Cydectin Pour On used for?
For the treatment and control of gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, grubs, sucking and biting lice, mites and horn flies in beef and dairy cattle. Not for use in veal calves. Weather-proof formula lets you treat cattle on your schedule without the worry of the Cydectin pour on cattle dewormer washing away. Provides broad-spectrum control which has been shown to result in increased weight gain and reduced pasture contamination. Shown to provide persistency against brown stomach worm for 28 days, lungworm for 42 days, nodular worm for 28 days and barber pole worm for 14 days. Cydectin Pour On kills key parasites that threaten your beef cattle and has little to no impact on beneficial dung beetles.
What are the benefits of dung beetles?
Increase forage availability by quickly burying livestock feces
Bury up to 90% of manure on pasture in one week
Reduce parasite larvae by 90% and horn fly larvae by 95%
Improve aeration, water retention and root penetration by tunneling
Cydectin® (moxidectin) Pour-On
The industry's #1 selling pour-on deworming brand contains the active ingredient moxidectin, which controls 33 parasite species and stages while remaining dung beetle and earthworm friendly.¹﹐²﹐³ Cattle parasites can cause a host of problems in cattle from reductions in milk production, reproductive performance and growth rate to increased disease susceptibility.⁴ This can occur even with subclinical infection when symptoms may not be noticeable. Researchers have estimated, without dewormers, cow-calf producers would sacrifice more than $165 per head in lost returns.⁵ Overall, for the entire beef production system, the impact of eliminating dewormers on break-even prices totaled $190 per head.⁵
What is in Cydectin Pour-On?
Cydectin Cattle Pour On contains moxidectin (5mg/ml), part of the milbemycin chemical group and has a unique molecular structure. This composition allows for wide distribution in the fat, allowing extended activity to kill key parasites and protect from reinfection.

Key Product Benefits:
Cydectin is the only milbemycin cattle dewormer on the market. All other pour-on endectocide dewormers are part of the avermectin chemical group.
Cydectin is dung beetle and earthworm friendly.²﹐³ Dung beetles provide an estimated $380 million of economic benefits annually in the U.S.⁶
Moxidectin, the active ingredient in Cydectin, is part of the milbemycin chemical group and has a unique molecular structure. This structure allows for wide distribution in the fat, enabling extended activity to kill key parasites and protect from reinfection.⁷
Cydectin Pour-On has a weatherproof formula, allowing for flexibility to treat without the worry of the dewormer washing away.
For the treatment of infections and infestations due to internal and external parasites of beef and dairy cattle.
