Lucky Tridectin® user powers up sheep operation and wins over $31,000 in prizes
Announcement posted by Virbac Australia Pty Ltd 10 Feb 2021
The latest campaign from Virbac Australia, the Tridectin® Power Up Race has seen sheep producers get involved from all across Australia, with Stonequarry NSW producer Brad Croker having been drawn as the lucky winner of the Major Prize.
Sheep producers nationwide have shared their stories for a chance to share in over $68,000 in prizes. Virbac Australia’s Tridectin Power Up Race promotion partnered with livestock handling specialist Te Pari to create opportunities for sheep producers to win big in 2021.
“…The campaign successfully engaged and included the whole community, understanding and helping farmers to optimise their drench and overall animal health programs, and of course we had some really exciting prizes that will prove to be game changers for the lucky winning farmers…” said Alex Roberts, Sheep Product Manager, Virbac Australia.
By sharing their stories on how Tridectin has been used on their property, entrants went in the running to win the major prize which included the Te Pari Racewell HD4 Sheep Handler, a $500 charitable donation of the winner’s choice, plus a Te Pari dosing gun, and a Tridectin 10 L pack valued at $31,000.00. The lucky Major Prize Winner was Brad Croker from Stonequarry in NSW.
Brad’s testimonial submission explained “…I was looking for a high potency pre-lamb drench with a residual effect, particularly against Barbers Pole worm. The on-farm advice from the team at Elders Goulburn alongside our local Virbac rep Stacey Goldring was key to adding Tridectin to our drench rotation. The short 17-day withholding periods were also vitally important, 12 days post drenching we had a 100% kill rate and our faecal egg count went from 600 to 0…”
Brad’s chosen charity to receive a $500 donation as part of the major prize win is the Black Dog Institute.
“…I believe men's health is such a big issue and so closely related to so many in our rural community.”
In additional, both Brad and his local Elders (Goulburn) store have both chosen to personally match the $500 donation to the charity. He went on to say “…If this helps bring a little more awareness to the Black Dog Institute then I think it’s worth it…”.
10 Runner Up Winners received a 1 L Tridectin and a Te Pari Dosing Gun and included Kiah Sutherland, Appin Sth VIC, Damien Earl, Glencoe SA, Tanya McKenzie, Timboon VIC, Lauchlan Corrigan, Bowna NSW, Corey Taylor, Wannamal WA, Peter Wood, Marong VIC, Tom Spielvogel, Morrisons VIC, Dom Parkman, Young NSW, Jim Lenehan, Guyra NSW and Tom Webb, Lake Hume Village NSW.
A total of 10 entrants were also chosen, based on their judged testimonial, to win a 10 L Tridectin pack and an on farm drench assessment (WECRT). These winners were Brad Croker, Stonequarry NSW, Ben Weir, Dunluce VIC, George Nichols, Richmond TAS, James Skeer, Penola SA, Toby Lavender, Williams WA, Charlie Hufton, Gundagai NSW, Matthew Bourchier, Chatsworth VIC, Sophie Nichols, Richmond TAS, Michael Buhlmann, Millicent SA and Kathy Lubcke, Manypeaks WA.
Since its launch, Tridectin has positioned itself as the world’s only broad-spectrum combination drench containing moxidectin with a registered claim to kill triple-resistant and monepantel-resistant worms. As a result, it provides a reliable, safe and effective treatment against all the major worm species especially barber’s pole worm, small brown stomach worm, and black scour worm with a very short 17-day Export Slaughter Interval.
