CONTROL
CATTLE LIC
with WARBEX*
WARBEX breaks the life cycle of lice during the feeding
stage ... before they reach egg-laying maturity. Single
treatments offer long-lasting protection, with no set
back to cattle.
WARBEX is easy to use, because it’s ready to use.
No spraying, no dipping; you simply pour it along the
animal’s back.
Lice-free cattle gain faster, convert more feed into
more beef, can quickly return more than your invest
ment in WARBEX.
WARBEX really works.
