Studies in Australia have demonstrated
the significant economic benefits that can be realised by
treating ewes pre-lambing with Capsules. These benefits include
increases in lambing and marking percentages, increases in
lamb weaning weights, increases in ewe weight at weaning and
improvements in wool quality and yield. Additional potential
benefits are detailed below.
This simulator provides a way of demonstrating
these potential benefits and explaining how relevant they
are to you. The results that you will see are especially relevant
as not only are they based on conservative assumptions which
are derived from Australian studies, but they can also include
information specific to your operation.
Using this simulator you can calculate
the potential economic benefits for your business by inserting
in your relevant data in the left hand column and then clicking
on the Recalculate button. (Note: The fields in the
right hand column are fixed.)
A number of assumptions have been utilised
to make this simulator as user-friendly as possible. These
include figures relating to product price, ewe weights, marking
percentages and fleece yields. For a more detailed appraisal
of how you can achieve productivity benefits such as those
described in this simulator we recommend that you contact

FARM DETAILS
The potential returns above DO NOT include the following
BENEFITS:
Full weight of lambs from improvement in conception rates
Control of dags
Wool yield improvements in the lambs of treated ewes
Long-term benefits from any improvements in the health
of the lambs
Any changes in labour costs from potential reductions
in mustering and treatment frequency
Note: Financial figures depicted within the simulator refer
to potential profit and are indicative only. They describe
typical potential returns for an average property paying an
average price for IVOMEC® MAXIMIZER® adult capsules and are
based on trial data from the usage of such capsules for pre-lambing
treatment of ewes.
