The Problem
Drench resistance is hitting hard and there aren't any new classes of drenches coming soon. Where drenches are failing, many farms face lost productivity or expensive, high-effort workarounds This is a real threat to pastoral businesses.
The Solution
Ballance Agri-Nutrients is developing a spray-on, nitrogen-based pasture treatment that targets parasite larvae on the pasture (not the animal) while giving paddocks a nutrient boost. Early trials shot lower larvae intake, faster growth in young stock and better feed when it’s needed most - basically a practical “tool in the toolbox” to reduce reliance on drenches, not replace them.
What’s next?
The concept is promising, but not finished. Ballance is running more independent trials and environmental checks to provide safety and real-world benefit. If tests go well, the product may be ready for commercial launch in late 2027 - until then, expect cautious, evidence-led progress.
