The FDA has issued an Emergency Use Authorization for Bimectin (ivermectin) injection, a generic drug for preventing New World screwworm infestations in cattle, ensuring more options for producers to protect their herds against this agricultural threat.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Agtech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You now have a new generic drug option authorised for preventing a critical cattle infestation, reducing reliance on a single supplier and lowering costs in livestock health. Start exploring this drug’s uptake with cattle producers immediately to capitalise on this newly authorised alternative.
