What is butox? 

Butox is a medicine widely used in veterinary medicine and agriculture to control ectoparasites.

These are parasites that settle on the outside of animals' bodies – feeding on the pet's blood – or on plants. In the context of 'pets', these parasites can cause a series of problems, ranging from discomfort, itching and allergies – to even contributing to the development of more serious diseases that can compromise the health – and even the life – of your pet.

In the area of agriculture, the uncontrolled presence of these parasites can compromise the entire plantation, causing significant losses in agricultural production.

How does butox work?

Now that you know more about what butox is, how about we find out how the product works?

The effectiveness of butox lies precisely in its ability to combat a wide variety of ectoparasites. It acts as an insecticide and acaricide, which means it is effective against insects such as flies and ticks, as well as mites and other arthropods that infest animals and crops.

Butox contains active substances that, when applied according to the instructions, penetrate the skin or fur of animals or the leaves of plants. Once inside the parasite's organism, these substances combat and eliminate the ectoparasites, interrupting their life cycles and preventing their reproduction.

Who is butox indicated for?

As we have already mentioned throughout the text, butox is very important for two areas of our society: Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture. 

Below, we talk a little more about the particularities of each one!

Veterinary Medicine

Butox is widely used in production animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, goats and pigs, as well as in pets such as dogs and cats. 

It is indicated for the control and treatment of ectoparasites that infest these animals, such as ticks, flies, mites and other arthropods that can harm the health and well-being of animals.

The use of Butox helps prevent diseases transmitted by ectoparasites, reduce animal discomfort and improve production quality, where applicable.

Agriculture

In agriculture, Butox is indicated to protect crops against ectoparasite infestations that can harm crop growth and productivity. 

It is commonly used in various crops, such as fruits, vegetables, cereals and forage, to control mites, insects and other arthropods that damage plants. 

Proper use of Butox in agriculture can help farmers protect their investments and ensure the quality of their crops.
