Why choose Alben?

1. For your white drench rotation:

Alben contains albendazole, a member of the benzimidazole (BZ or white) drench family. If white drenches are still effective on your property, Alben provides an opportunity to rotate away from macrocyclic lactone (ML) or levamisole (clear) drenches.

2. Broad spectum worm control:

Alben will control all major roundworms that are susceptible to a BZ drench (except whipworms). These worms reduce overall productivity especially in young animals. Weight gains can be affected significantly. Alben also controls tapeworms and aids in the control of adult liver fluke.

3. Registered for goats: 

There are very few drenches registered for use in goats. Alben has been used safely by goat producers across Australia for many years, and continues to be one of the more popular drenches used in the goat industry.

4. Very safe:

Albendazole is amongst the safest of all active ingredients used in oral drench formulations.

5. Ovicidal:

Albendazole is ovicidal, ensuring that roundworm eggs passed in the dung are rendered infertile, reducing the potential for further pasture contamination. To obtain the maximum benefit of this, sheep and goats should not be placed on clean pasture until 12 hours after drenching.

When to use Alben.

1. When rotating to a white drench. It is important to use effective drenches on your property. If white drenches still give effective control on your property, then Alben is a useful tool to extend the life of the more powerful drenches available, including the macrocyclic lactone (ML) drenches (e.g. Cydectin Oral Drench for Sheep).

2. In combination with other drenches. Drenching with a combination of actives from different drench families provide the best tool to fight resistance in worms. Producers wanting a cheap alternative to combination drenches could use an ML such as Cydectin Oral and then follow this immediately with a dose of Alben.

3. Worm testing. Worm egg counts provide valuable information to optimise drench timing. Egg counts will show if a drench is not required because of low worm numbers, but will also reveal production limiting worm infections long before clinical signs such as scouring or wasting are evident. A larval differentiation assay provides identification of the worm species present so that the optimal type of drench can be selected.

4. Drench resistance testing. It is essential to understand the level of resistance to the various drench families on a particular property. Faecal egg count reduction tests (FECRTs) provide objective measurements of which drenches are working and which fall below the level of efficacy required for good worm control (i.e. 95% efficacy). FECRTs should be conducted every two to three years to monitor any changes in resistance levels.

How to use Alben:

Alben is applied orally using standard drenching equipment. Shake well before use. Dose the mob according to the heaviest animal by bodyweight in the group (ewes, wethers, rams, lambs). Where there is a large variation in size within the group, draft into two or more lines based on bodyweight. A representative sample of the animals should be weighed before treatment. Do not underdose. Do not drench in marking cradles due to the increased risk of aspiration into the lungs. Check the accuracy of drenching equipment before and during use.

Minrosa Himalayan Mineral Rock Salt is sourced from ancient deposits of sea water that has crystalized over millions of years in the Himalayan mountain region. The chemical analysis shows that it contains more than 80 and when consumed by other animals or humans, is more easily metabolized and absorbed than other forms of sodium chloride with the bonus of microminerals.

Animals with access to Minrosa salt all year round are healthier and cope with feed, seasonal and reproductive changes better.

SIZE: 5kg Animal Grade Rock Salt (1-3mm granules)

In late 2020 International Animal Health began rebranding their product which was formerly known as Protexin to a new name "ProN8ure".

BENEFITS OF PRON8URE:

• Establishment of beneficial gut microflora
• Suppression of E. Coli Salmonella & Aeromonas spp
• Treatment and control of scouring and diarrhoea
• Improved digestibility of feed
• Improved growth and feed conversion
• Reduced digestive upsets
• Enhanced animal health
• Re-establishment of gut microflora following antibiotics, wormers or vaccination
• Reducing stress (stress disrupts normal intestinal balance)
• Safe, non-toxic and residue-free.

Stress, in all forms is one of the major causes of disruption to the normal balance of microflora in the gut, allowing proliferation of pathogens. Loss of appetite, picky eating, scouring, poor condition and changes in temperament are some of the less consequences. Stress is easily induced with some common causes being: changes in diet, heavy work or training, temperature extremes, breeding, transportation, worming, vaccinations and changes to environment. Use of PRON8URE in these circumstances protects horses from negative intestinal changes while improving digestive efficiency and general health.

Antibiotics are particularly harmful to gut microflora, leaving animals susceptible to re-infection. PRON8URE should always be administered following any course of antibiotics. The digestive system plays a vital role in the health, vigour and performance of horses. Its correct functioning is dependent on the level and balance of bacteria and yeasts called microflora. Microflora have the major role in breaking down indigestible nutrients, in the synthesis and absorption of vitamins and minerals, in stimulating the immune system and in preventing the proliferation of pathogens in the gut.
Foals are born with a sterile gut which is rapidly colonised by both beneficial and pathogenic bacteria. A fine balance exists which can easily be disrupted, leading to scouring, ill thrift and other problems. Feeding PRON8URE from birth protects the foal from pathogens, improves digestive efficiency, enables better utilisation of feed and makes the transition from milk to solid feed easier.

All horses benefit from ProN8ure's ability to stabilise intestinal microflora, maximise gut health and resist the effects of stress.
