Dectomax 500mL Injectable- Brand Name Commercial Supply   3

Background
This requirement is for the United States Department of Agriculture, Animal Plant Health and Inspection Service, Veterinary Services Cattle Tick Fever Eradication Program (CFTEP). As the Nation's veterinary authority, Veterinary Services improves the health, productivity, and quality of life for animals and people, and maintains and promotes the safety and availability of animals, animal products, and veterinary biologics. The USDA, CFTEP has been fighting the spread of these ticks since 1906; however, in recent years, cattle fever tick infestations have increased significantly in number. These ticks have been a threat to American agriculture for generations because they spread the disease bovine babesiosis, commonly called cattle fever. This disease caused enormous economic losses to the U.S. cattle industry. In order to combat the Cattle Fever Tick, the USDA utilizes the pesticide Co-Ral. Currently there are three classes of drugs which are used to treat livestock: Coumaphos, Doramectin, and Ivermectin. Each of these products has a different mode of action. Doramectin offers a number of advantages, including an extended time interval between treatments, and reduces toxic chemical exposure to USDA staff administering the product. At this time Doramectin is only manufactured by one company in the United States and is sold under the trade name of Dectomax.
