Used primarily as an insect growth regulator in veterinary medicine, it controls tick populations by disrupting chitin synthesis in developing larvae. Commonly applied in livestock management, it prevents infestations that lead to disease transmission and production losses. Its long-acting effect makes it suitable for use in pour-on, injectable, or spray formulations, providing extended protection. Also utilized in pest control programs targeting mites and certain insect species in agricultural settings. Due to its mode of action, it has low toxicity to mammals, making it a safer option for animal treatment.
