    Is there any reason I should pay nearly €200 for 500ml ivomec injection compared to €33 for Bimectin. I'm told the active ingredient is the same.

    Same active ingredient - Ivermectin.
    Check the dosage rates though, they may differ, in that a 500ml of one type may do more animals than the other.

    I've been using the Noromectin pour-on for years - same story, Ivermectin is the active ingredient also.

    Jack you're just paying for the name, the cattle won't notice any difference! It will still sting the same:eek:

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    The cheap stuff does the same thing,
    just because its cheap it shouldn't replace good grass management which has a larger impact on cattle health than any amount of that stuff ;)
