Avermectin B1aand less than or equal to 20%
Avermectin B1b), an active ingredient never before used on cattle in

potency and the penetration of the Abamectin into the pest for maximum
activity (a patent-pending formulation).
*Has NO objectionable odor.

increased weaning weights of calves from tagged cows.
*Light enough to be applied to young calves.

XP 820: Economic Advantages
Between 2003 and 2008 eleven herd studies were conducted on the
new XP 820 insecticide ear tag to determine the difference in weight gain
versus non-tagged animals.
The results were...
-
Average Weaning Weight - 52.4 lbs. higher!
-
Average Daily Gain - .37 lbs/day higher!
Based on these eleven studies conducted in Kentucky, Indiana,
and New Mexico for an average of 16 weeks, and using an average of $1 per
pound selling price, the XP 820 provided the following economic advantages.
