Insecticide Tags
Y-TEX, the industry leader in insecticide tag technology, offers five unique insecticide tag chemistries for cattle. Designed to provide superior control of flies and other cattle pests while combating insecticide resistance. Insecticide ear tags are the safest, least labor intensive, and most cost effective method of pest control. With proper tag rotation, insecticide tags provide excellent pest control year after year, consistently yielding greater economic returns to the producer than other types of fly control.
WEIGH THE FACTS !
About 2 billion producer dollars a year are lost due to pests.
 
Y-TEX insecticide rotation program will yield an average weight gain advantage as follows:
IF any of these PYRETHORID TAGS were used in the past 2 years:
ZetaGurad, Python, GardStar Plus, Max-Con, Double Barrel, Ectrin, Alroban, Cutter Gold, Sabre Extra
ROTATE TO WARRIOR OR OPTIMIZER
IF any of these ORGANOPHASPHATE TAGS were used in the past 2 years:
Optimizer, Warrior, Diaphos Rx, Dominator, Patriot, Commando, Cutter 1, Cutter Blue
ROTATE TO PYTHON
At $.70 per lb., a weight increase of 4.29 lbs. recovers the $3.00 investment.
Per the studies, the weight gain advantage ranged from 11.5 to 137.1 pounds providing the calf producer a return of $3.00 to $32.00 for every dollar invested in tagging the cows. As noted above, at $.70 per lb., a 4.29 lb. weight increase recovers the $3.00 investment in insecticide tags. Per the studies, the weight gain advantage ranged from 8.1 to 139.8 pounds. Thus tagging open heifers and stocker steers returns $2.00 to $33.00 for every dollar invested.
