Within those species, Unknown (34), Cattle (unknown) (22), Aberdeen Angus (9) appear most often — though breed popularity and ownership density shape these counts as much as any drug-specific sensitivity. This distribution matters because the same active ingredient can behave very differently across body sizes, ages, and species physiology.

The most commonly reported clinical signs associated with Clorsulon, Ivermectin are Seal, Abnormal (17), INEFFECTIVE, PARASITE(S) NOS (8), Death (7), INEFFECTIVE, LICE BITING (7).
