ABOUT COOPERS EXZOLT
Long-lasting cattle tick, bush tick and buffalo fly control in a low volume pour-on.
Coopers Exzolt Pour-on for cattle is a next generation ectoparasiticide that controls cattle ticks for 56 days, bush ticks for 21 days and buffalo flies for 21 days. It contains fluralaner, a class of chemical which is new in the Australian cattle parasite market, which delivers breakthrough control against external parasites and will help Australian cattle farmers fight chemical resistance. What’s more, Coopers Exzolt Pour-on for Cattle is a low volume pour-on, which means application is easier, faster and there’s less container wastage.
How does it work?

Cattle ticks, bush ticks and buffalo flies are exposed to the active ingredient, fluralaner, when they feed on treated cattle and via contact. This dual activity ensures greater exposure of the parasite to fluralaner for effective control.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The efficacy of Coopers Exzolt Pour-on for Cattle is not adversely affected by heavy rainfall after treatment.
- Study data demonstrated that artificial rain applied by inverted sprinklers (equivalent to rainfall of 22-23 mm in a storm lasting approximately 20 minutes) 6, 12, or 24 hours following treatment did not adversely affect efficacy.1
Yes, cattle must be dry when treatment occurs.
Yes, the re-treatment period only relates to Coopers Exzolt Pour-on for Cattle. If cattle require another treatment once the period of protection has lapsed for the target parasite, then an active from another chemical group can be administered. In addition, if Coopers Exzolt Pour-on for Cattle is used twice in the season, ensure chemical groups are rotated and do not use the same active for two consecutive treatments.

The applicator comes standard with the rose nozzle, however to overcome dripping which has been reported by producers in other countries, a fan nozzle has also been provided. The rose nozzle drips a little after application and a mesh insert has been added to reduce this. There is less dripping observed when the fan nozzle is used.
Coopers Exzolt Pour-on for Cattle needs to be applied as a narrow strip along the midline of the back from the withers to the base of the tail. When using a fan nozzle, to avoid a wider band, do not depress the plunger quickly on the fan spray.
In the studies that were conducted, Coopers Exzolt Pour-On for Cattle was administered topically in narrow strip (along the midline of the back from the withers to the base of the tail) which is why it is recommended.
No. There have been no studies or trial work done for the safety or efficacy in horses.
