Pasture Fungicide treatment will help stay on top of Facial Eczema.

Topsin and X-spore are fast-absorbing systemic pasture fungicides that helps stop the growth of Pithomyces chartarum, the cause of facial eczema. Both products are designed to manage the various breeding stages of fungal infection in pasture, while IntenSE Caramillo can help mask the strong taste  of the pasture spray so grass stays palatable for stock.


Facial Eczema occurs when the fungus Pithomyces chartarum is able to multiply rapidly due to hot moist warm conditions. This normally occurs at a time of the year when stock are grazing near the base of pasture in summer and early autumn.


The spores of the fungus contain a toxin that once absorbed into the animal’s bloodstream it inflames the liver making it unable to excrete and process waste means the breakdown product of chlorophyll accumulates in tissues and results in the animal developing a sensitivity to light, leading to swelling and lesions on the skin.
