Solid oral administration for deworming—leading the way to healthy livestock farming!
Release time: 2021-03-29
Have you heard of the water-soluble oral administration deworming method?
You’ve probably heard of oral administration of solution-based formulations, such as ivermectin solution and doramectin solution. But I’m sure you’ve never heard of solid, water-soluble oral anthelmintics. And you’ve certainly never heard of a water-soluble solid anthelmintic based on moxidectin. The upgraded version of Moxidectin from the Dutch company Ceva has made this possible.
Advantages of water-soluble solid insecticides.

Compared to liquid formulations, solid water-soluble insecticides have three major advantages:
1. Solid insecticidal formulations are more stable; solution formulations, when left standing for an extended period, are prone to chemical reactions and oxidation, which can reduce their efficacy.
2. The solvents used in solution preparations are mostly organic solvents. When applied in production, oil-based solvents mixed with water tend to separate into layers, making it difficult to achieve a high degree of uniformity.
3. Solid insecticides are easier to transport and store.
Process standards for water-soluble moxidectin.
Xilai Gao has established stringent process standards, specifically:
1. Completely replicate the on-site administration method: The product must dissolve rapidly within 10 seconds when simply stirred or rinsed with water at 0°C; after standing for 8 hours in a 2% aqueous solution, it should show no discoloration, no precipitation, no turbidity, no floating particles, and no unusual odor.

2 After standing for 8 hours, the effective drug content in the upper, middle, and lower layers of the 2% aqueous solution reached over 90% of the theoretical value, and the deviation in drug content among the three layers was minimal. < 2.5% 。

3 The solvent, carrier, and main ingredient do not undergo any chemical reactions and are safe and non-toxic.
How was the solid water-soluble formulation of moxifloxacin developed?
Relying on the powerful R&D team from the Technology Department of Holland Hailigao (Animal Health Products) International Co., Ltd., the Technology Department of Hunan Hailigao Animal Health Products Co., Ltd. spent two years completing the product upgrade. The core technological principle involves air-flow grinding the liposoluble anthelmintic moxidectin to a particle size of 600 mesh, transforming it from a macromolecular drug into a nano-sized small-molecule drug. This finely ground material is then uniformly cold-sprayed into a specialized solvent system—composed of a wetting agent, surfactant, dispersant, pH adjuster, and ion adsorbent—to produce a soluble raw material. Finally, this soluble raw material is pre-mixed in graded stages with a specially formulated water-soluble carrier to obtain the final product.

Impact on the results |
| High safety. Several times safer than the second-generation ivermectin premix. |
It can be used throughout all stages, ensuring uniform treatment across the entire herd. Toxic reactions such as abortion, oligospermia, loss of appetite, and mortality are virtually nonexistent. |
| Long-lasting. With a half-life of up to 21 days. |
Covers the entire life cycle of parasites, even killing 2–5 generations of larvae and adult worms. |
| The drug concentration in subcutaneous fat is high. It is the anthelmintic with the highest drug concentration in fat. |
Highly effective against external parasites such as ticks, mites, and lice. |
| Broad insecticidal spectrum, highly effective |
Can kill 95% of parasites both inside and outside the body. |
| Uniform drug administration with a high drug absorption coefficient. |
Extend the interval between deworming treatments, reducing the number of deworming sessions per year by 1-2 times. |
| Simple to operate and convenient to use. |
Save labor, reduce energy consumption, and enhance economic value. |
Usage protocol for Mosquito Control Solid Water-Soluble Agent.
1 Mixing Method: Add 1 kg per ton of feed evenly, and use continuously for 7–14 days.
2 Drinking Water Method (First measure the required amount of water, then dissolve the medication; the drug concentration should not exceed 2%, meaning no more than 2 kg of moxidectin per 100 kg of water):
- By body weight quantification: For pigs weighing 2000–2500 kg, add 100 g of this product; dissolve it in water and administer it all at once or drink it within half a day; use continuously for 7–14 days.
- Quantitative Feeding Method: Add 0.1% of this product to the total daily feed amount for the entire pig herd. Dissolve it in water and administer it all at once, or ensure it is consumed within half a day; use continuously for 7–14 days.
The empirical effects of moxifloxacin.
Moxidectin is highly effective against external parasites such as ticks, mites, and lice, as well as internal parasites including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, filarial worms, strongyloides, trichuris, and lungworms. If no adult worms or larvae are observed after following the recommended treatment regimen, the only conclusion is that there are no parasites present; this can be confirmed through fecal egg examination.

The impact of Moxifloxacin solid water-soluble agent on sales and customer acquisition.
Effectively expand new customer sources in the following areas:
- Aquaculture populations using pellet feed;
- Use automated feeding lines to raise large-scale livestock populations;
- Mountain cattle and sheep, as well as specialized livestock and poultry farming groups in mountainous and forested areas;
- Young people involved in animal husbandry.
Summary
Moxidectin solid water-soluble formulation boasts distinct advantages in terms of high efficacy, safety, long-lasting action, convenience, and innovation, continuously delivering value to customers and users. By focusing on product quality, the solid-water administration method for deworming is emerging as a new trend, paving the way for a transformative shift toward healthier livestock farming.
