Water-Soluble Ivermectin for Internal and External Parasite Control
“Para sa Bulate-Free at Makinis na Balat ng Baboy.”
Agmectin is a water-soluble veterinary antiparasitic formulated with Ivermectin to help control both internal and external parasites in swine. Developed by Metrovet, Agmectin offers a convenient and effective deworming solution that can be mixed with feed, helping improve animal health, growth performance, and overall farm productivity.
Unlike conventional ivermectin products, Agmectin is specially formulated for easy administration and broad parasite control, making it an excellent choice for regular herd deworming and breeder preparation.

Why Choose Agmectin?
Healthy pigs perform better, grow faster, and convert feed more efficiently. Parasite infestations can reduce weight gain, increase feed costs, and negatively affect reproductive performance.
