World’s first biological control
BioWorma®: Natural biological control that captures and consumes infective worm larvae (including chemical resistant/anthelmintic multi-resistant larvae) within the manure of grazing animals.
Active ingredient:
Duddingtonia flagrans
Livamol® with BioWorma®: Nutritional supplement containing the natural biological control, BioWorma®, that captures and consumes infective worm larvae (including chemical resistant/anthelmintic multi-resistant larvae) within the manure of grazing animals.
Active ingredient:
Duddingtonia flagrans
Breakthrough in
biological control
BioWorma® and Livamol® with BioWorma® contain the spores of Duddingtonia flagrans, a naturally occurring fungus found in soil and pasture. It is a non-chemical biological control for the free-living stages of parasitic gastrointestinal nematodes or roundworms of grazing animals, which acts by substantially reducing the numbers of infective worm larvae (including chemical/anthelmintic multi-resistant larvae) emerging from manure onto pasture.

Did you Know?
Nematode/roundworm larvae occurs when infected animals like sheep, goats, cattle, horses and others like deer, alpacas and zoo animals graze and deposit manure onto pasture. It has been estimated that 10% of the parasite population is within the host animal vs 90% on the pasture.

EFFECTIVE
- Proven in numerous field trials in horses, sheep, cattle, goat & zoo animals
- Trials conducted in different seasons and climatic zones
SAFE
- Safety for humans & animals proven in long term high-dose
(up to 10 times) safety studies in grazing animals and supported by toxicology studies. - Numerous studies show no negative impact on the environment
TARGETED
- Studies show the fungus remains in the faecal pats and target only the parasite nematode larvae present.
- No effect on non-targeted organisms like soil bacteria, fungi or insects.
NATURAL
- Active ingredient is natural fungus isolated from the pasture.
- No chemicals or residues.
Which product?
BioWorma® is for manufacturing (premix companies, feedmills & veterinarians) to be further mixed with feeds, feed supplements, premixes or concentrates and administered to livestock via their finished products in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Livamol® with BioWorma® is for end users (for mixing or adding to feed) and is supplied for your personal use as an end customer to be further mixed with feed and administered to your livestock in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

How it works
BioWorma® and Livamol® with BioWorma® contain the natural fungus Duddingtonia flagrans. When fed to grazing animals the thick walled spores pass through the digestive system remaining inert (having no effect within the host animal) and out into the manure. When the infective nematode/roundworm larvae become active within the manure, the fungus sporulates forming a fungal web that captures, paralyses and consumes infective larvae.
FAQ
Some common questions regarding BioWorma's effects and use. For more information see ARTICLES & STUDIES or visit our Youtube channel via the link below
If I feed BioWorma® for 3 months will it establish on my farm?
No. Once the fungus has consumed the larvae in the manure it will die.
Is BioWorma® affected by seasonal change?
BioWorma® is recommended for strategic use during periods when weather conditions are conducive to larval development and transmission onto pasture at temperatures above 5° Celsius (40° Fahrenheit).
Does it affect dung beetles or earthworms?
There are no negative effects on non-target soil nematodes, earthworms, microarthropods, soil bacteria and fungi. Beneficial insects feeding or breeding on manure (e.g. dung beetles, fly larvae) are not negatively affected.
