Champion USA LLC has announced the EPA approval for the new JustiFly 3 percent (diflubenzuron) feedthrough larvicide and for DFBZ Technical Diflubenzuron.
The new JustiFly 3 percent feedthrough is cleared for use in pasture and confinement animals, including non-lactating dairy cows and veal calves. The larvicide is available in a new 3 percent active formulation for easy handling and mixing for larvicide fly control programs.
“We have been manufacturing and selling the 3 percent larvicide throughout Brazil and the world for nearly two decades. Since we will be sourcing our own DFBZ and packaging and distributing from the U.S., we are in a better position to bring the product formulations to beef, feedlot and dairy producers at a significantly reduced price over current DFBZ-based products,” says Flavio Rocha, president of the company.
“This product also has been approved for use in both pasture cattle and confinement animals,” Rocha adds. “This is a highly efficacious product – especially against production-hampering horn flies and face flies. With the beef and dairy industry's commitment to the safe handling of livestock and economic popularity of feedthrough larvicides, we are excited to bring this product to the U.S. marketplace.”
According to Dr. Steve McKinley, technical manager for AgLand Consulting, who is working with Champion to introduce, position and sell their product line, “We are trying to keep distribution simple and will be offering our 3 percent feedthrough product in 25-pound bags and bulk containers.”
